I Think Therefore I Nerd

recently my elderly shattered-up phone started letting me charge it to 107% which I've been using to get let's just say a little bit extra out of it on long days

added benefit that this makes it crazy warm and soft so I use it to warm up my coat when it's cold outside

Swollen batteries are incendiary explosives.

this one's just a phone

respectfully, ma'am, phone and bomb are not mutually exclusive descriptors

I'm not gatekeeping I'm just speaking from my presently lived experience

When you start speaking from your formally lived experience, be sure to let us know!

I already live every day with undue formality and noble grace

I genuinely can't tell if you're being stupid on purpose

when you feel that way it's a sign that I'm being smart

OP your phone is literally about to explode.

we've been over this, it's just puffy and I poke it with twigs when it gets too hot

Oh god it's the shark post all over again, but this time OP COULD FUCKIN DIE OR BE MAIMED HORRIBLY

that's really not on the table

Hey, I’ve worked in IT longer than anyone else, and it’s totally fine to keep using your phone this way! This is because phones are not bombs so they can’t explode.

as someone who doesn't work in IT, I agree, which creates a consensus across the full spectrum of possible human experiences

My phone nearly exploded (the battery was so swollen I could see the inside of the phone.) you should get your phone looked at

But its a phone those don't explode

They do when the battery is swollen

you're thinking of bombs, easy mistake to make, but I addressed this earlier in the thread

OP do you have a will or any assets to even need one?

my will is frankly tremendous and I'd go as far as saying it's one of my strongest assets

You should substitute your phone insurance for health insurance

we have universal telephone insurance here so that's not strictly necessary

You know I prayed that this is just a Tohsaka Rin RP blog but it isn't and OPs phone is about to go off like a Mappa Animator.

several studios worked on fate but mappa is not one of them

I heard if it starts to charge past 110% they'll send ninjas after you. Might want to get it repaired and save yourself some ninja battles.

Despite this you are still poking the battery with twigs, right?

I've been dunking it in water making my neighbour's dog suck the bubbles out with a straw

if someone challenges you to a duel just throw the phone on the ground and run

why would I give them my phone. then they'd be able to call me and beat me to shit

How can they call you if they have your phone?

they'd just call it and then answer when it rings

ACCIDENTALLY LEFT MY MACERATED APPLE SYRUP ON THE STOVE AND IT CARAMELIZED I GUESS?

it was super thick and dark and golden and bubbly so i took it off the heat. happy accident.

#i literally crack up everytime #at least ten of the notes are from me

being a trans woman of course means people will accuse you of secret perversion while you're just chilling, but theres another side of the coin where people will paradoxically assume that you're too stupid to see the eroticism you're deliberately employing

the perversion of the tranny is innate, unthinking, and unmotivated. unworthy of examination beyond alerting sensible people of the potential harm you will surely cause

Cromch

God that sounds so goddamned refreshing I wish I was eating a cactus

THATS THE BITCH

YOU GUYS ARE TOO GOOD AT THIS WHAT THE HELL

Companies deleting media you've literally purchased is 1000x more realistically "stealing" than digital piracy, you cannot change my mind
