能量謎題 · 你覺得這是什麼?
🔍
"I always start the morning at 100%, but I usually end the day at 0%. I never get hungry for a snack, but sometimes I need a boost. If I crash, the vibe is not going to be good. What am I?"

📱 A Phone Battery
手機電池
Phones start the day fully charged at 100% and drain to 0% — they don't eat snacks but sometimes need a "boost" (charge), and when they "crash", the whole "vibe" of your day is ruined.
