@davidgerard “uhm but David here’s 2 (two) videos of me dunking my phone into a small bowl of drinking water, no I won’t engage with you about how the point is that it killed the phone”

[Gast]

@davidgerard I tried stuffing some meat into the charging port of my phone, but it still ran out of battery.

I eat burgers when I need energy, why can't my phone?

@davidgerard I really take issue with Apple messaging on this, which is « hey, it’s probably fine whatever, but if that breaks that’s on you » as it touts a IP68 resistance which signals that it’s ok as long as you don’t leave it underwater too long

[Gast]

@davidgerard water cooled PCs have been a thing for years. Is dunking your phone in the pool really so different?

@Luk @davidgerard

@davidgerard goddamnit David, not when I'm drinking coffee. Coffee is valuable!

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@mewsleah absolutely not

[Gast]

@mewsleah @davidgerard is this why that _why?

[Gast]

@davidgerard surely they aren't serious

@davidgerard

"I washed my parrot in Tide, and it died!”

"I told you Tide wasn't good for parrots.”

"Oh, it wasn’t the Tide that killed it, it was the spin-cycle.”

Same energy.

'Peasants, behold! My genius even more genius-y thanks to AI! I can genius even faster now! Also, uh oh spaghetti-o's, I dropped my phone in the pool on purpose again because I know better than the people who made it!'

[Gast]

@gbargoud @davidgerard "tried to dry it with a candle" is exactly the kind of shit that 10 year old me would have tried too

[Gast]

@davidgerard water good human so why water not good phone?! Glue good paper so why not glue good pizza?? Stochastic token association good computer so why not good me?

[Gast]

@davidgerard Truly extinction-grade stupid.
