Didn’t expect to see memes making fun of mental illnesses on Lemmy
Bro. You almost gave me a heart attack for a second there, making me think I somehow posted something VERY different.
LOL new prank just dropped
Don’t give them a heart attack. They’re like 60% of Lemmy’s content.
Imagine meeting the love of your life and then finding out they talk on the phone

ITT a bunch of fucking losers claiming to have hearing problems and would rather be a dick in public than invest in proper headphones.
Note on the claim part, I don’t believe a fraction of the assholes here, just trying to justify their assholery. People with legitimate hearing issues tend to accept the support technology that’s readily available these days. I spend quite a bit of time around folks who are actually hard of hearing.
Even if they do have hearing issues, a phone pressed against your ear will sound much louder with much greater clarity compared to the speaker mode.
Man bun and v-neck weren’t helping the case.
I feel personally attacked
As well you should.
Damn. Are the cishets still going on about gatekeeping man buns and v-necks? I thought that tiresome rhetoric died off around 2010.
good for reducing radiation
When did this become a thing anyway? When out and about, I see everyone talking on the phone like this.
I don’t want to hear your conversation.
I don’t even want to hear my conversation, I just have to - but someone else’s, wtf?
It should become socially acceptable to slap their phones, maybe from bottom up for a greater comedic effect.
The theory I’ve heard is that people on reality TV shows would do this so the mics could pick up their conversations better. So naturally,
brainless idiots without an original thought in their dense godforsaken skullspeople who watch those shows started doing it in real life too because they saw popular people doing it on TV.It’s just a theory, but it seems plausible because it’s clearly not how phones were designed to function on speakerphone or otherwise.
That’s where the trend is putting books spine first into a bookshelf came from too.
The tv producers don’t want to spend days asking for permission to use book spine graphics in the shot, not spend time blurring the film, so they flip the books around to hide all the spine art. It’s on HGTV a ton.
That one just makes me sad and angry. I try not to judge people, but I would judge the shit out of someone for doing that IRL.
Pizza eaters are rude as hell, too. I’d guarantee that there’s significant overlap with the people who play music in public from their shitty phone speaker.
Wdym, just anyone who eats pizza? Pizza is good tho :(
but this is correct, that’s where the mic is, it’s more comfortable than holding it to my ear [especially the modern smartphone shape], and i like knowing i’m talking straight into the mic
Plus, I really hate the idea of my cheeks touching the screen… because then after the call I end up having to clean the screen off. Damned OCD.
Edit: Jfc lol was downvoted for sharing my phobia, stay classy Lemmy
I am very confused, why is your cheek touching the phone? Are you mashing your phone against your face?
Buttspiders guy nailed it. Sorry my phobia rubbed you wrong.
Imagine giving up on someone because of a simple mannerism.
Nah, it demonstrates stupidity.
Imagine being too stupid to properly hold your phone.
