I remember a YouTube channel with some folks drop testing a bunch of phones using a drone - and some Motorola smartphone with a polymer display (IIRC) survived a much bigger drop than the 3310 did.
I think the 3310 got its reputation because it was ubiquitous and at the same time somewhat tough - but it’s nowhere near as tough as say some Ericssons before it or some Siemens models after. Maybe this is also backed by the fact that phones got progressively more brittle after that.
Naturally people reach for the low hanging fruit to make a joke.
Chuck Norris is also dead. He died March 19th of this year.
Those Nokias aren’t dead, they were just abandoned by the infrastructure. Pop in a new battery and you’ll be playing snake in no time.
Fixed.
Damn it, you fixed it just before I could lol.
As a web dev, I feel awkward reminiscing about the thin period of web history when IE was a solidly built, standards-compliant browser.
It was like the IE team saw their history was causing them to lose all market share, and committed to fixing misdeeds since they held an underdog position. But for most, it was too little too late.
For several years, I tested in IE, not Chrome, because it was most strictly standards-compliant, and I could be sure that if it worked there, it would work in other browsers. (Now, if you use Edge, it’s just a repaint of Chrome)
Still funnier than skibidi toilet
Skibidi Toilet isn’t really a comedy tho. It’s just giant mech fights and apparently the creator of it, some racist Georgian🇬🇪 zoomer lost all the rights to it after being fucked over by some company he signed a contract with.
Yeah, wild lore both in the show itself and in the background. Got into it because my niece fucking loves it and just… no shit, it is a wild time.
What? Mech fights? I’ve only seen the head in the toilet. Fuck racists though.
Yeah. It goes from funny toilet head man thing into this weird war between the toilets and camera head people and soon just turns into giant ass mech fights. My niece herself said she thinks the series is an allegory for arms races and, tbh, I cannot fault her for it because the later episodes get really wild and pretty well animated.
As for the creator, DaFuqBoom!, yeah he has made some weird stuff in the past includes jokes against George Floyd. Why would a Georgian, the country not the state, joke about that? I have no idea. And also he was fucked over by Invisible Narratives who took all the rights from the series, took all the adsense dollars he made, and also took all the money from the deals he made.
Like as shitty as a person as he is, I can’t help but feel bad. I assumed he was rolling in it, but he’s broke and has seen 0 return from the popularity of his series because of an unfair contract. Finding that out just felt weird. Like there’s this much cloak and dagger about the funny toilet vs camera show? What a time to be alive.
So you remember Strong Bad?
no, but i remember Strong Sad.
Remember Kony 2012? Remember how everyone thought the world was gonna end? Well Will Wood remembers none of it.
The bacon thing was… really weird.
I mean, I like bacon, but… not like enough to make a lifestyle out of it
I heard it was in part a push from the pork industry. They were struggling to get grocery shoppers to keep buying bacon during the anti-fat fads of the 90s, so they spent millions lobbying fast food places and restaurants to make bacon a premium add-on ‘bacon makes it better’; then the fast food marketing machine slowly brainwashed a generation into bacon obsession.
Ugh. Nothing is even shocking anymore.
God I forgot about the whole bacon thing.
I remember it as the same time the narwhal bacon’ed. Never got the appeal of that meme.
Kristen stewart = expresionless
Where’s Spongebob caveman?
Truly the golden age
Everyone proved how indestructible the Nokias were by destroying them for views.
Still better than all those degenerate wojak memes nowadays.
True, half true, false, Diddy’d, true, true
