You should just get a new phone.
Sincerely, every uncle this Thanksgiving.
yeah intentionally misunderstanding it of course.
if anyone’s Uncle does say this I would follow up with something like:
except it’s not just your phone it’s everything in your life only goes to 6%.
you have 6% shoes, they hurt they leak but you can’t get better ones
you have 6% food, you are either hungry or eating something terrible for you or something that tastes terrible all the time (I for example did not realize steak could taste good until I was in my twenties and finally had a job where I could afford a nice dinner)
you have 6% housing, there are bugs and critters, there are leaks it is too cold or too hot all the time, you always live next to neighbors you aren’t sure about so it’s probably not safe to walk around, your landlord won’t fix anything and you can’t do anything about it
you have a 6% life most everything in your life cannot get very much better than it is and you don’t have the time the money or the connections to do hardly anything about it
I feel like if they are intentionally misunderstanding the point then no amount of talking or explaining will help :/
Exactly. This just leads back into the avacado toast and Starbucks (who are also killing Christmas) rant.
yeah intentionally misunderstanding it of course.
Pretty sure it’s an analogy to “just get a better job then”.
And tried to blame your bad phone on immigrants, minorities, and trans kids.
Mine goes up to ~15%, suck it peasants. The system works, change nothing
Psst, that immigrant wants 5% of your phone charge!
I had an old phone that would routinely die when the battery hit 15%.
85%er over here, smdh my head
This must be why some people (me included) try to squeeze out every last drop of phone battery
I really like this. It really gets across the sensation of constantly scrambling for bullshit
And the only way you could get a phone that goes to 50% is by having a phone that goes to 40%, and the only people qualified to get that phone are the ones whose phones go up to 25%. And in order to get that phone you’re current phone need to be able to hold 15%, which even having 2 phones that go up to 6% wouldn’t suffice.
This is how I’m going to explain it from now on.
Where your phone’s battery only goes up to 6%>
Now imagine a family of 3 with only 1 phone that goes to 6% but all 3 people need it at the same time throughout the day
6%!?
I wish I had that much.
