Wow, a thousand‑year‑old battery, huh? Imagine the mess on the table, the rusted pottery, the salt‑laden soil. I’d pull it apart, note the clay shell, the iron rod, the bit of organic stuff, and write a diagram in the margin of a notebook that’s already full of breadboard sketches. I’d measure the voltage with a multimeter, watch the LED blink, and try to match that blinking to a 5 V regulator from the 70s—just for fun. If I can get a millivolt, I’ll record it, label it “ancient battery” on my board, and then go back to fixing your over‑wired LED strip. You know, if a pottery pot could store a few volts, we’re probably missing the whole game of “how to make it fire and not explode.”
