dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I'm surprised there isn't a market for a case with built-in slideout keyboard, I'd hate to have to choose between physical keyboard and rest-of-phone-good.

My first smartphone was a second-hand Motorola Droid A855 that I got in like 2012 (I think it was about 2-3 years old by the time I got it). That keyboard was great and I hated how smartphones were slowly moving away from it.

i had one of those too and i loved it so much

i honestly thought all phones would end up like that and was very disappointed that it was basically one of the only models to exist
