Are you really Black?

[Arkan]

The smoke detector beeping due to not changing batteries is apparently something Black people can't hear or just completey ignore. I thought it was a racist dog whistle but it's actually true.

It's associated with African Americans which popularised it but do Somalis not hear it too and do not care to change the batteries? Do your hear it in your home?

Smoke Detector Beeping and Smoke Detector Chirping, also known as Smoke Alarm Beep and Smoke Alarm Chirp, refer to memes about people not changing batteries in smoke detectors in their homes once they start emitting a repeating beeping signal to indicate that they may not function properly due to low battery charge. In the early 2020s, the unwillingness to change batteries in smoke detectors became a stereotype associated with Black people, prompted by a viral TikTok and a series of viral posts on Twitter.

i just changed the battery last week, it woke me up at like 2am, it was so annoying I went to a 24hr walmart, 20 min drive to pick up a replacement battery.

idk how madow can ignore that beeping sound.

I think the question should instead be, are you really fatherless? Because nobody with a present father struggles with hearing the smoke alarm. My dad would always fix it whenever it was tweaking as a kid

Can't stand that noise. We'd replace it asap cause it made it hard to think.
