Become unmemeable

this is why yoyu talk to your mom in person. human contact is onyl contact

technically it's optimal for battery health if you only keep charge somewhere between 40 and 80%

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 minutes ago

Which is why my phone lies to me and 100% is actually 80%.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

40% is unnecessary conservative. More like 20%.

exactly, it's the recommendations for batteries for the last 10 years or more. people doing otherwise are following "old folklore" and killing their batteries faster.

The petit pipi is very funny to me for some reason.

I also appreciate the translation of "???" for "???"

[–] goatey523@pawb.social 2 points 11 hours ago

Yours just goes straight to the point. Hitting you with one ?, then two ? right after, to stun you and getcha on your feet. In other words, réponse courte, mais bien xD

He has to explain the very concept of a movie to his mom now.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

He also has to explain the concept of a meme.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 35 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Mom, I know it's hard to accept but film is inevitable

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 11 points 20 hours ago

You couldn’t live with your own failure, where did that bring you? back to me. -The Phone Charger.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 135 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be fair, that is a horrible meme format for this purpose.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 41 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I still don't know if the OP was complaining that she stops the phone from charging beyond 80% or that she insists on charging even when it's already 80% charged.

[–] sqw@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 20 hours ago

its the latter

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 46 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Everyone is misunderstanding what's going on here. Mom is obviously so chill with aliens that not only does she not recognize this particular alien, but she's concerned her son went somewhere she doesn't know about with that unfamiliar alien. He needs to call her so he can tell her.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 8 points 16 hours ago

well at least she's not racist or specist even

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 10 points 17 hours ago

So. This bugs me. Why, in fact, are mom's capable of maxing out the word count three times over but If you send two texts they forget how to speak their native language?

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago

My mom texts exactly like this. Talks too.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 11 points 20 hours ago

Meanwhile I have my phone set to STOP charging at 80 percent. Thos I wish it did 85 and stop like my last one.

This is beyond memes. This is a severe deficit of metaphorical thinking. Mom might have like undiagnosed autism

A quality meme, wasted on someone completely unworthy.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Not everyone grew up consuming memes. Maybe if you call and explain it she'll understand and have a great laugh. Totally worthy then.

[–] fosho@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

I consume plenty of memes and I still don't follow the point. far from quality when you have to know a detailed moment from a cookie cutter movie that many people don't care about.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 18 points 23 hours ago (6 children)

Metaphors are hardly a new device. Anyone who knows how to read above an elementary school level should readily understand metaphors and similes.

Showed this to my wife. She also did not understand.

Why are people like this? It has signs and context and explanation and all

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 19 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Seriously. I understand there’s a generational gap, but this is laid out so fucking plainly. Like… how does she not know, at the very least, that the purple dude is not a real person

[–] fosho@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

how is it plain? what is he doing? what is on his arm? what does him fucking with his arm have to do with taking a charger when it is not needed? I have no idea and clearly plenty of other people also agree.

this scene is not common enough knowledge to reference that people know what's happening and that makes it a poor choice for the meme.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 1 points 2 minutes ago

The dude is a purple alien. Like unless this lady has never seen a person before then that’s pretty obvious.
