This comic is inspired by XKCD and recent events and observations in my life. Disclaimer: I have no artistic ability and blatantly rip off the XKCD style and artwork, however the idea is mine and I feel it fits.

This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen
…and the red bar indicates you (or whoever originally made that meme) started watching it.
Its a screenshot from my YouTube history.
I was really engrossed with the plot.
I mean, yeah, this is one of those cases where you think the plot is obvious, but also, that’s a great setup for a plot twist, so you gotta watch it to be sure.
Voltages drop in the cold, and the middle of the night is usually the coldest. So that’s why this is probably not far from reality.
Wouldn’t the lower temperature make it highly likely that the low power beep occurs only during the middle of the night, but not during the day?
That’s if the alarm reads the voltage directly. But if the low voltage flips a switch that stays flipped, then no.
Ok, but the probability would still be shifted towards starting at night.
Maybe it could be more like 80% for it to start beeping in the night and 20% it starts during other times.
Pro tip… If your detector is beeping at 2 AM and you don’t have/can’t find a replacement to make it stop… your freezer is sound proof. :)
Instructions unclear, stuck in freezer
remove the battery?
Doesn’t work with all detectors. The beep has it’s own buried battery because the main one died.
It is uncanny seeing this, as I experienced this EXACT situation less than a week ago.
I still refuse to replace the battery out of spite. I’d rather burn alive than be awoken in such a way again
I’m reading this at 4:39 it seems like you got woken up by the alarm, could not fall asleep again and grudgingly made this comic
I feel this.
Beep
I was on my honeymoon, quiet little cabin in the mountains, had just run a hot bath in the jacuzzi tub for my wife and myself, poured some champagne… and a smoke alarm started the low battery chirp.
