Shit like this is why I never send internet memes to my parents. Boomers don't understand them.

[-] owl@infosec.pub 19 points 1 day ago

Become unmemeable

[-] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 21 hours ago

use meme unrelatable to someone who hasn't watched infinity war or whatever junk
act surprised your mom is oblivious or has no patience for this shit

Still got no idea what's going on with that "charger": didn't watch the movie, either. 🤷

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 4 points 21 hours ago

It's just saying she plugs her phone in to charge even though it's at 80%. There's not much to it.

[-] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 21 hours ago

Is he plugging or unplugging? Shit's unclear.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 153 points 2 days ago

To be fair, that is a horrible meme format for this purpose.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago

I still don't know if the OP was complaining that she stops the phone from charging beyond 80% or that she insists on charging even when it's already 80% charged.

[-] sqw@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 1 day ago

its the latter

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 91 points 1 day ago

He has to explain the very concept of a movie to his mom now.

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

He also has to explain the concept of a meme.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

Mom, I know it's hard to accept but film is inevitable

[-] D_C@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

You couldn’t live with your own failure, where did that bring you? back to me. -The Phone Charger.

The petit pipi is very funny to me for some reason.

I also appreciate the translation of "???" for "???"

[-] goatey523@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago

Yours just goes straight to the point. Hitting you with one ?, then two ? right after, to stun you and getcha on your feet. In other words, réponse courte, mais bien xD

technically it's optimal for battery health if you only keep charge somewhere between 40 and 80%

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 23 hours ago

Which is why my phone lies to me and 100% is actually 80%.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

40% is unnecessary conservative. More like 20%.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 23 hours ago

I use a setting on my S21 that keeps the battery from going over 80 for that reason. It does seem to help, battery's still going strong while my S8's has gone completely to shit.

Everyone is misunderstanding what's going on here. Mom is obviously so chill with aliens that not only does she not recognize this particular alien, but she's concerned her son went somewhere she doesn't know about with that unfamiliar alien. He needs to call her so he can tell her.

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

well at least she's not racist or specist even

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

My mom texts exactly like this. Talks too.

[-] Pnut@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

So. This bugs me. Why, in fact, are mom's capable of maxing out the word count three times over but If you send two texts they forget how to speak their native language?

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

This is beyond memes. This is a severe deficit of metaphorical thinking. Mom might have like undiagnosed autism

A quality meme, wasted on someone completely unworthy.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

Not everyone grew up consuming memes. Maybe if you call and explain it she'll understand and have a great laugh. Totally worthy then.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago

Metaphors are hardly a new device. Anyone who knows how to read above an elementary school level should readily understand metaphors and similes.

I consume plenty of memes and I still don't follow the point. far from quality when you have to know a detailed moment from a cookie cutter movie that many people don't care about.

“Is this one of those drug things?”

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Meanwhile I have my phone set to STOP charging at 80 percent. Thos I wish it did 85 and stop like my last one.

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why are people like this? It has signs and context and explanation and all

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 19 points 1 day ago

Seriously. I understand there’s a generational gap, but this is laid out so fucking plainly. Like… how does she not know, at the very least, that the purple dude is not a real person

[-] sqgl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

She could be pretending to not understand because she misses hearing her/his voice.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 22 hours ago

That’s true. I hope that’s true. That would be cute AF.

[-] fosho@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

how is it plain? what is he doing? what is on his arm? what does him fucking with his arm have to do with taking a charger when it is not needed? I have no idea and clearly plenty of other people also agree.

this scene is not common enough knowledge to reference that people know what's happening and that makes it a poor choice for the meme.
