Tbf phones grew bigger at one point.

Actually the display always grew bigger and the rest of it always grew smaller and at some point, the sum grew bigger

When the screens started getting good enough to watch porn on, the size trend reversed.

Yeah I was going to say, phones are currently growing bigger after hitting a sort of "peak small" lol.

They're getting so huge that it's hard to find a small one without ordering an old model. I like to be able to see things and all but at a certain point they don't fit comfortably in my pockets

Ya, they're too big now. I liked it when I could use my phone with one hand.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

TVs might be an even better example

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago

I don't think so. They never shrank which makes them an even worse example for the meme or what do you mean?

[-] scratchee@feddit.uk 11 points 5 months ago

They shrank by weight and volume for sure.

Not by screen area though.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Right now I'm sitting next to 2 TVs. One 34'' CRT and an OLED with 4 times the screen area. The CRT weights 7 times more

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Donno why I didn't think about the volume and weight but only about the front area

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
