If you make a short circuit from one end of the battery to the other, it will discharge the battery at it’s maximum current. Your insta link doesn’t work, so it’s impossible to determine if the correctness from it’s meme. Many insta-memes are baloney, but it is possible to short circuit a D battery, so don’t do that.
