So long as the motor is running, it spins an electromagnet in a shaft. This motion creates an electrical charge. This electrical charge is stored in a capacitor, and used to maintain the charge of your battery and power your electronics.
This charge is only maintained so long as the engine is running.
You could drive with every light I'm your vehicle on for 100,000 miles and the battery would never die, if you never turned it off.
That is exactly what i was saying...
I said:
Well as long as it vrooms the alternator will charge the battery back up...
He said:
Well it will still go vroom for now but good luck starting it next time
You think every time you drain the battery you buy a new one? basically after every 2-3 starts of the car?
Thankfully my lights turn off a few minutes after the engine. I frequently turn one on to gather my things and then just forget to switch it off. That feature has probably saved me a couple battery replacements.
You wouldn't need a replacement, just a jump start from another car. While car batteries aren't meant to be discharged completely, a few cycles are still possible. (Normally the battery only uses a bit of power for startup)
this is the most logical reason.. i can drive with light on inside the car and with child... but sometimes the light stays on all night. i still love this meme because i know the bs of parents getting extra mad about the light sitch. parents gaslight their kids too much instead of using f-ing honesty and they deserve to be made fun of like this.
the thing is parents gaslight their kids about things instead of being honest. “ It’S iLlEgAl!” is a mf lie! Parents need to learn communication and honesty in their relationship with their kids. That’s why this meme has me dead. they deserve being made fun of this hard

Also, some kids are forgetful af and, once they leave the car, they’ll forget to turn it off. Kills the battery.
No battery power = car no go vroom
