Breaking a cable with style!

Bad for the charging port. You know, that hole with 24 extremely tiny wires and pins? Once that's damaged, you have a brick, not a phone.

This is why I believe in UK plug supremacy. Extreme support, extreme safety. Be extreme today. Convert to the UK plug

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

That's make the phone pretty bulky

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They're talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from "24 pins".

You may hide now before the europlug F squad I called gets here.

Schuko is way nicer and isn't a landmine when left on the floor.

Or you open it up and replace the daughterboard holding the port. Worked fine when I did it for a friend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is that actually how you spell, what I thought was, “dotter board”?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, motherboard, daughterboard.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh so no sonboard or fatherboard?

What kinda of world do we live in?….. 😔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Considering you plug the daughterboard into the motherboard quite often, sonboard might be the more appropriate term, because of the male plug type. But maybe people didn't quite want to raise the spectre of motherfuckers.

Not to mention the implied incest lmao

At first, I wasn't sure where I was supposed to be looking. Thank you red arrow.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can't see any red arrows, can anyone help me with a red circle?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What is this brown arrow and why does it taste like copper?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Absolutely the worst DC character

Honestly why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? It’s SO SIMPLE

If the cable is that long, why not just set it on the floor?

I'm a huge fan of creating a meme about another person, and using a drawing like this. It allows the person to remain anonymous.

She looks happy, at least. Maybe it's kinda meditative. You don't want to move too much. Just sit, relax, and be a table.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

Be a ~~goldfish~~ table.

I didn't realize heads were a recent invention.

They aren't new per se, but few people actually use them

It's brilliant in its simplicity. I'd never think of that. I'd try to overengineer something out of the environment, but with less skill than MacGyver.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I would just stand and hold it. Or see if it could reach a pocket

Is there any reason to not put the phone on the charging brick?

[–] sarmale 20 points 2 weeks ago

Being on the metro the phone ~~could~~ will easily fall when accelerating and braking

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can never vet mine to balance, I can't line up my phones centre of gravity because the wall is always in the way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

the vetting process can indeed be very difficult

Marcille-ass dungeon-meshi sketch all like “I can just order grub hub if I need it.”

There is now an IMAP community and this has been reposted there. :)

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, IMAP? Like... The mail protocol?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

"I missed a picture". All resemblance to email protocols real or imagined is purely coincidental.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Seems like crossposting is an effective way to seed a community, because the crosspost got about 120 upvotes, and the subscriber count is now up to 60.
