In general, there is not much activity in the field of what might be called car battery culture. Those useful but heavy plastic blocks of reactive chemicals that give our cars the precious 12V they need to start and level the alternator load aren`t usually things that inspire a lot of artistic production. That has kind of changed now, thanks to the meme/poles of Throw your old car batteries into the ocean. This is the world we live in now. If you fall into the latter, more personalized category, all you need to know is that this meme is as popular as it is completely useless, simply claiming that throwing old or used car batteries into the ocean is a “safe and legal thrill” as well as the best way to snub “queues at AutoZone.” While many memes make a political point, criticize, or poke fun at something in society — from conspiracy theories to the growing threat of the Karen — throwing used car batteries into the ocean.

You`ll find that there are recurring themes that go beyond the basic premise of the painful and fulfilling joy of putting your old car batteries in the ocean: there are statements about the legality of the act (which is debatable) and the suggestion that AutoZone is the enemy that stands in the way of accomplishment by throwing car batteries into the salty embrace of the sea. This should go without saying, but the reason memes about throwing car batteries into the ocean continue to be funny after all this time is because they are so obviously ridiculous.
