Shit like this is why I never send internet memes to my parents. Boomers don't understand them.

use meme unrelatable to someone who hasn't watched infinity war or whatever junk
act surprised your mom is oblivious or has no patience for this shit
Still got no idea what's going on with that "charger": didn't watch the movie, either. π€·
It's just saying she plugs her phone in to charge even though it's at 80%. There's not much to it.
Is he plugging or unplugging? Shit's unclear.
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%
Which is why my phone lies to me and 100% is actually 80%.
I use a setting on my S21 that keeps the battery from going over 80 for that reason. It does seem to help, battery's still going strong while my S8's has gone completely to shit.
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 reality for most people is they charge their phone at night, and that's it. If the phone has a built in mechanism to stop charging at a certain percentage, you can use that, but otherwise it will just charge to 100%.
The only other option would be to have a smart outlet, and have your phone turn off the smart outlet when it hits 80%, which is an annoyance even if you know how to do it, and virtually impossible for tech illiterate people.
The next best thing is to make sure you aren't using a fast charger, as the heat from fast charging is arguably worse than charging it to 100%. And if it's charging over night, there is no reason for it to charge quickly.
Nah. Phones just gaslight you now.

Mine is not as loquacious
The petit pipi is very funny to me for some reason.
I also appreciate the translation of "???" for "???"
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, rΓ©ponse courte, mais bien xD

He has to explain the very concept of a movie to his mom now.
He also has to explain the concept of a meme.
Mom, I know it's hard to accept but film is inevitable
You couldnβt live with your own failure, where did that bring you? back to me. -The Phone Charger.
To be fair, that is a horrible meme format for this purpose.
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.
its the latter
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.
well at least she's not racist or specist even
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?
My mom texts exactly like this. Talks too.
Mom doesnβt speak meme.
This is beyond memes. This is a severe deficit of metaphorical thinking. Mom might have like undiagnosed autism
