Let her go. Anyone that doesn't appreciate innovation like this will just slow you down on your path to greatness.

See also, using a slim Jim for your fingerprint unlock

Ah haaah, now it's just a key...

But then you take a bite in a moment of weakness, and you're locked out. :(

or unread messages?

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why am I not seeing a picture? On my end this is just a text post where a guy said oooh yeah and nothing else 😅

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Oooohhhh yeaaaah!

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Jessie?

James?

I suddenly have an image of the people in this conversation...

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 month ago

Jessie: I've been thinking of dating other men

James: Me too!

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

"Prepare 4-20!"

[–] drascus@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Slender James eh? Based

Who's taking the photo? Do people really have extra phones around just for moments like this?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They are making cameras now for kids without phones attached. Might be one of those.

[–] authorinthedark@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

they also make cameras for adults without phones on them

[–] HyperlinkYourHeart@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

That's ridiculous how would you even post the photos?

[–] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

I've never seen a kid without a phone attached

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I carry 2 phones all the time. I work in government. If I use my phone for work, it becomes subject to Open Records requests, so the city gives me a stipend to pay for a second phone to do all my city business.

I worked at a different city that didn't do that for most employees, and everyone just used their personal phones anyway. We got an Open Records request that resulted in me having to search everyone's text message history. I felt dirty.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So in that scenario, taking a picture like the OP would result in some raised eyebrows no matter which phone snapped the picture of which phone, it sounds like! XD

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I have a separate phone for work. Not government or anything. I have a bunch of personal apps on it, but I don't like having my only phone be owned by my work.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

am I getting old? I got like 5 devices around that can take photos that are not a phone on account of before phones used to be able to do that you had devices for it

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 5 points 1 month ago

Hanging out with a friend or family and borrowing their phone, I would imagine

[–] Aquilae@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I for one don't throw away old/broken devices so long as they at least boot up
