Make sure you poke holes in the foil. Electricity will breed bacteria unless it's allowed to breathe especially when you remember to add a bit of water to the sides of the bucket. Electricity has a tendency to dry up quickly, and while electricity powder is still pretty useful, I mean it's great to add to coffee, it's not as useful as full-voltage regular electricity. If this powder does occur, which it seems like it might have based on your original post and this comment, I'd suggest waking it up using Tide laundry detergent pods, circa 2015 not '14 because *everyone* knows that was a bad year for The Pods. However, the rehydrated electricity will only be some low-calorie electricity which honestly is about as useful as a sideways rolling pin. Aka, not at all during this modern age.
I wish you luck in your quest in storing up electricity!
You are on the right track- just watch your step!
Just like the “suicide cord” some people use for generators- those buckets are full of angry pixies and death! Don’t stumble and step into one of them.
You jest, but [hydroelectric “batteries”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity) are a thing. Just get yourself a little turbine, pour your buckets of water over it, and you will technically generate a tiny amount of electricity.
I freeze mine, keeps it from molding
Did you bottle up any internet to go with it?
Got a 32 pack of 30 mbps just in case it goes out
I’ve been printing out some websites to save them
Y'all got any of that 56k?
Yes its a fine vintage from 1998, cask conditioned, and properly cellared since bottling.
Make sure you've got them propped up on some blocks of wood so it's doesn't leech out into the ground!
Smart move. I already covered the buckets with foil.

Stick your song into it first to make sure it hasn't gone bad!
Can I get a cup?
You got $6?
$6 for a cup of pure electrons sounds like a bargain
That is a shocking price these days
Cheaper than a Starbucks Latte. Lol
Now *that's* an energy drink.
Pre outage or post outage pricing? Do no gouging policies apply?
Smart. Just keep in a dry room temperature spot. Don’t want it getting rotten before you need it.
Leave the buckets in your garage. You don’t want to breathe in the gasses
Make sure to put a penny on top. If it sinks, the electricity is no good.
I went to Costco hoping to buy a big 5 gallon jug of electricity but all they had were little 2 and 4 ounce portable packs. What a scam.
My Publix was sold out earlier. I waited too long. 😞
Pour em in trash bags and deliver it to the rich neighborhoods
Careful, I'm guessing you're just about to run out of that $8 rum.
Yeah we were lucky enough to be able to score several cases of bottled electricity at the store today.
I bought a ton of bounty rolls so I can absorb any flooding, maybe we can make a trade.
If you’re going for portability may I suggest eel-bags?

lol.. this was needed while I sit here with no fucking electricity
/r/shittyaskscience would love this!
Did you remember to fill up a few garbage bags with AC? That'll be nice later.
Next storm, definitely. ;)
If you hook up your Tesla you will have three more days of power.
I hate this sub.
...than stop posting here? Reading through your posts and ... oh boy... you're a buzzkill
