An Afrikaans-speaking man’s humorous video showcasing a bizarre but effective household hack captured the attention of social media users, who also used his trick.
The entertaining clip, shared on TikTok by @kalahari_smurf, was met with widespread laughter, with many viewers revealing other tricks that work on battery revivals.
The video features the man, TikTok user @kalahari_smurf, sitting comfortably on his couch and trying to change the television channel. When he realises the remote control is unresponsive because the batteries have died, he launches into a series of increasingly desperate, yet common, attempts to revive it. He begins by shaking the remote control vigorously and then proceeds to tap it rhythmically on his leg, hand, and forehead.
The man shows his battery revival method
When this classic remote tapping method fails, the situation takes a hilarious turn. The man humorously takes out one of the dead batteries, bites it lightly, and then places it back into the remote control. He tries the remote again, and to his delight, it works. He concludes his video by jokingly confirming that this unique trick works every single time he uses it.
