  • My unpopular opinion is that most memes on a template belong in the lower right rectangle. I have no idea how people laugh at the same joke they’ve seen on repeat. They’re so predictable…even before someone makes them. Like if a show/movie/game introduces a cute lil guy, someone is “making” the Brooklyn Nine Nine meme, a fan favorite is usurped by a cooler fan favorite and you’ll see the Toy Story meme, etc.

    It feels so…unnatural? People rush to be the first to make the joke to get the upvotes. I saw a comment on here once that was along the lines of "the way memes are shared [through social media to a large audience of strangers] nowadays is antithetical to the definition of a meme.

    I’m happy to defend my point if you disagree and I’m not opposed to changing my mind on it







  • What a weird think to insult someone over. It does what it says it does and I don’t get why you’re drawing the line on what “true” wireless charging is when I’m not plugging a wire into my phone. You think I “fell for a marketing gimmick” despite using the feature almost exclusively for the past 12 years? How is it a gimmick if I get value out of it?

    I like having a clean desk and not accidentally yoinking my phone off. I like not adding wear and tear to the USB port because it sucks when they break. I like that I’ve had a dozen or USB cords die but never once had to toss a wireless charger.

    You aren’t the arbiter of what’s useful. You not finding value in wireless charging doesn’t mean it’s a useless gimmick. Get off damn your high horse
