Shit like this is why I never send internet memes to my parents. Boomers don’t understand them.
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 shitStill got no idea what’s going on with that “charger”: didn’t watch the movie, either. 🤷
It’s just saying she plugs her phone in to charge even though it’s at 80%. There’s not much to it.
Is he plugging or unplugging? Shit’s unclear.
Become unmemeable
this is why yoyu talk to your mom in person. human contact is onyl contact
technically it’s optimal for battery health if you only keep charge somewhere between 40 and 80%
Which is why my phone lies to me and 100% is actually 80%.
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.
40% is unnecessary conservative. More like 20%.
exactly, it’s the recommendations for batteries for the last 10 years or more. people doing otherwise are following “old folklore” and killing their batteries faster.
The reality for most people is they charge their phone at night, and that’s it. If the phone has a built in mechanism to stop charging at a certain percentage, you can use that, but otherwise it will just charge to 100%.
The only other option would be to have a smart outlet, and have your phone turn off the smart outlet when it hits 80%, which is an annoyance even if you know how to do it, and virtually impossible for tech illiterate people.
The next best thing is to make sure you aren’t using a fast charger, as the heat from fast charging is arguably worse than charging it to 100%. And if it’s charging over night, there is no reason for it to charge quickly.
Nah. Phones just gaslight you now.

Mine is not as loquaciousThe petit pipi is very funny to me for some reason.
I also appreciate the translation of “???” for “???”
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

Moooom, shut the door, I’m with my friends!!

He has to explain the very concept of a movie to his mom now.
He also has to explain the concept of a meme.
Mom, I know it’s hard to accept but film is inevitable
You couldn’t live with your own failure, where did that bring you? back to me. -The Phone Charger.
To be fair, that is a horrible meme format for this purpose.
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.
its the latter
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.
well at least she’s not racist or specist even
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?
My mom texts exactly like this. Talks too.
Mom doesn’t speak meme.
This is beyond memes. This is a severe deficit of metaphorical thinking. Mom might have like undiagnosed autism
I think that’s some kind of condition other than autism.
No idea. Aphantasia?
No, that is when you can’t see an image in your mind’s eye.
I know, I wasn’t happy with that guess either.
All l can find right now is a paper that suggests metaphorical understanding may be impaired in people with schizophrenia.

“Is this one of those drug things?”
Meanwhile I have my phone set to STOP charging at 80 percent. Thos I wish it did 85 and stop like my last one.
A quality meme, wasted on someone completely unworthy.
Not everyone grew up consuming memes. Maybe if you call and explain it she’ll understand and have a great laugh. Totally worthy then.
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.
Metaphors are hardly a new device. Anyone who knows how to read above an elementary school level should readily understand metaphors and similes.
You should tell her that, I’m not going to.
…and people who don’t understand things like that automatically but pose follow up questions and ask for help to try to understand are unworthy?
Strangely combative and leading way to pose your question.
No, not unworthy at all. But there’s also a wide divide between asking questions and actually seeking to understand. It’s been my experience that many people have developed a questioning mechanism to mask/cover their embarrassment or willful ignorance, and those people don’t care at all to learn the root lesson, they simply want to “win” whatever they perceive as an argument. Winning the conflict is more important than learning the new information. And socially, that process becomes exceedingly tedious.
As the quote goes, “I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.”
It was combative because the OC called the recipient unworthy and you replied that it was because they didn’t understand things that most people who can read at a third grade level do.
That’s messed up, and I was intending to point out that that’s the implication of your comment so you could rephrase it if it was unintended.
Some people don’t seek to understand, but this person’s asking multiple questions to figure out what this means, and then wants to talk verbally because they’re not getting it via text. I don’t see a reason to suspect they’re not looking to understand.
Is that what I said, or are you creating your own scenario by cherry picking my response?
I get the sense you just want to be angry about this post and responses in general.
I’d prefer not to have this type of Reddit back and forth, especially given you’re already adding details and reframing my words to fit your narrative.
Best of luck to you.
Alright, you do you.
