Behold:
- Breaking a cable with style!
- Bad for the charging port. You know, that hole with 24 extremely tiny wires and pins? Once that's damaged, you have a brick, not a phone.
  
  This is why I believe in UK plug supremacy. Extreme support, extreme safety. Be extreme today. Convert to the UK plug
  
  Or you open it up and replace the daughterboard holding the port. Worked fine when I did it for a friend.
  
  Phones are pretty light as long as you set it in there gently and didn't do it often it wouldn't hurt anything.
  
  You don't have wireless charging as a backup?
- At first, I wasn't sure where I was supposed to be looking. Thank you red arrow.
  
  I can't see any red arrows, can anyone help me with a red circle?
- Honestly why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? It’s SO SIMPLE
  
  Is that conductive? 😳
- If the cable is that long, why not just set it on the floor?
- the phone would topple until its done precisely
I'm a huge fan of creating a meme about another person, and using a drawing like this. It allows the person to remain anonymous.
She looks happy, at least. Maybe it's kinda meditative. You don't want to move too much. Just sit, relax, and be a table.
- Be a ~~goldfish~~ table.
Modern problems require modern solutions
- I didn't realize heads were a recent invention.
  
  They aren't new per se, but few people actually use them
  
  Around 1789 it wasn't as common as today.
It's brilliant in its simplicity. I'd never think of that. I'd try to overengineer something out of the environment, but with less skill than MacGyver.
- I would just stand and hold it. Or see if it could reach a pocket
  
  I would just pull out the longer cable from my backpack. Or use the power bank I have in my backpack. Or use the power bank as a pass-through to use both the cables. Or accept the fate and shutdown my primary phone partially* or completely.
  
  *Partial shutdown means disabling certain services and features to save power without fully shutting down everything. This does usually not mean using a battery saver. I use MIUI, it is already fairly unpredictable and regular battery saver** only makes this situation worse.
  
  **There's also ultra battery saver which kills everything deemed unnecessary running in the background. That couldn't be more predictable.
Now that's using yer noggin!
- Now I can't unhear that voice
  
  🐻 waka waka waka!
Is there any reason to not put the phone on the charging brick?
- Being on the metro the phone ~~could~~ will easily fall when accelerating and braking
- I can never vet mine to balance, I can't line up my phones centre of gravity because the wall is always in the way.
  
  the vetting process can indeed be very difficult

There is now an IMAP community and this has been reposted there. :)
- I'm sorry, IMAP? Like... The mail protocol?
  
  "I missed a picture". All resemblance to email protocols real or imagined is purely coincidental.
- Seems like crossposting is an effective way to seed a community, because the crosspost got about 120 upvotes, and the subscriber count is now up to 60.
- I prefer POP3.
Marcille-ass dungeon-meshi sketch all like “I can just order grub hub if I need it.”
I wish her the very best
That's cool
Under the wire.

(No one will get that reference)
If america didn't have the worst plugs in the world this wouldn't be a problem. You could just balance it on top like a well run country.
- Delhi Metro
  
  Unless th US also has a Delhi...
  
  But a metro? One can dream.
  
  Oh yeah.
  
  She just looked white as fuck and because it's English I figured it had to be American plugs because they are the worst.
  
  American plugs do suck.
- americans thinking like everything on lemme is related to them
  
  Mate. I know. I fucked up. That's on me.
  
  But please don't call me an American, not even I deserve that.
- im sorry but have you seen the UK plug? Or even the broader euro plug? Or like, the aussie plug? Or like, literally any other country.
  
  Yes.
  
  UK plug is best in the world. Has three prongs so earth is always there. Also it pushes the protectors out if the way to open up the live socket so nothing can be incorrectly put in there. It's solid and won't fall out, you could hang a child off of that. Every plug has a fuse to protects the house and helps prevent fires. Live and neutral are partially covered in plastic so nothing can touch it when it is half in and the circuit is live.
  
  EU plug is way sturdier that the shitty American's plug. American plug looks like it is designed to fall out the EU plug stays in.
  
  The aus plug is with weakest of the three because it is so similar to the american but at least it is tilted in a logical manner to stop a fucking plug falling out of the wall.
  
  All three are based on a decent electrical supply so electrical items actually work
