WTF? How do you not know what kind of charger your phone needs. That's so basic. I honestly don't know how some people cope in the modern world, by which I mean how they manage to not just wander into traffic and get maimed/killed because they don't understand how anything works.

The terrible prescience of this movie

Yea if we could splice it into the HandMaid’s tale and Boys from Brazil and we’d just about nailed this particular hell

Men keep poking around until it goes in and she turns on.

... and gets more quiet and keeps working.

Sounds like a metaphor for sexual confusion.

stephanierose1717.bsky.social•27 days ago

Hahaha I bet they do the same thing in bed too and then wonder why they can't keep a relationship.

mamahen57.bsky.social•28 days ago

🤦‍♀️ damn

coachrobwarriors.bsky.social•28 days ago

How many charger options are there irl? Come on

katherinelocke.bsky.social•28 days ago

They thought a lightning cord that was black was different than a white lightning cord. It did not matter because it needed a USB C. This too is a metaphor

I'm a tech person but I feel kind of confused how often people struggle with this when there's max 3 answers and mostly 2 in practice

katherinelocke.bsky.social•28 days ago

They thought lightning cords in different colors were different 🥴

realkjt.bsky.social•28 days ago

Well, the colorful ones do automatically install and begin using Grindr… 🤦‍♂️

suomikim.bsky.social•28 days ago

So many different ways one can go with the metaphor.

I was thinking how they want to stick it everywhere and then are offended at the results and play victim. "I must enact laws to protect me from my own uncontrollable behavior".

FAFO

Men instinctively know you have to stick a thing in a hole - What it is, and in which hole to stick it is beyond most of us! 😉

katherinelocke.bsky.social•26 days ago

You are gross.

katherinelocke.bsky.social•28 days ago

To add to the political metaphor, I tried to help and they cut me off and ignored me.

jessilt.bsky.social•28 days ago

I'm shocked that they didn't yell at you.

katherinelocke.bsky.social•28 days ago

A vast majority of the men replying to this thread are unbearably annoying.

I watched a ton of new feds fail to understand how the security gates at an airport work the other day. Probably because they’re so used to flying private.

flyingangell.bsky.social•28 days ago

It's even funnier because they don't even usually have a process for trial and error. They toss the wrong cord back into the small pile they were trying from and are doomed to keep trying bad ones because they don't separate them out when they fail

flyingangell.bsky.social•28 days ago

"Oh no, guys, we've tried this president before. Let's set him aside because we know he doesn't work."

jekllnnhide.bsky.social•28 days ago

willful lack of knowledge backed by aggressive force attempts (probably damaging some shit in the process) in hopes of success. if damage happens it's 'not their faaauuulllt'. If success happens, they want to be praised as genius for it.

*sigh* yup

It’s always the ones who love Reagan.

markllama.bsky.social•28 days ago

That actually explains a lot, yes

jackjack59.bsky.social•28 days ago

Bwahahahahahaha isn't what us men do? I mean seriously 😐

davesuzzie.bsky.social•28 days ago

We went to play trivia at a local bar last night, and people did not know what state the Golden Gate Bridge is in.

victorelowe.bsky.social•28 days ago

Isn't it at my ocean front property in arizona?

joolzmadcat.bsky.social•28 days ago

Rusty?

bogwytch76.bsky.social•28 days ago

Giving Starbucks your money is actively contributing to our political crisis. Maybe don't criticize others when you're doing something that's actually worse.

moonshinea.bsky.social•28 days ago

Bluesky is great. Any other platform and this post presenting a metaphor for current US politics would undoubtedly be full of DEI-related derogatory comments.
I like it here.

annominos.bsky.social•28 days ago

Just the fact that they're hanging out in Starbucks is enough for me

kaputnik-2006.bsky.social•28 days ago

Everybody in the EU right now with their standardised USB C chargers

katherinelocke.bsky.social•27 days ago

That's what he actually needed lol

starrylye.bsky.social•28 days ago

Like I have like 15 years of tech support and like even before I started I didn't even know what a hard drive was.. like I started from scratch. It was weird to learn stuff when I did at the time cuz I didn't know anything about technology.

starrylye.bsky.social•28 days ago

A lot of people literally don't know they just don't know. It's hard to like have them understand it like Google a chart or something so they can see the difference a lot of people just don't know that's why there's tech support

derekkeepstrying.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yes, and these simpletons voted.

clever-clogs.bsky.social•28 days ago

I think I need to frame this!

adam-crocker.bsky.social•28 days ago

Oh god, that summarises it perfectly. I used that to explain to my wife the rise of the AfD.

Surround yourself with smart women and listen to them.

That’s never failed me. 👍

moptopjen.bsky.social•28 days ago

Oof. We are not all evolved to the same degree.

katie-did.bsky.social•27 days ago

Do you ever wonder how blissful it must be to be that oblivious? Like sometimes I think abt how basically it's why people are happy & they don't understand depression. They're literally too stupid to know anything & are fine living life just shoving random cords in things. And why are they RICH!?

jawnnjonzz.bsky.social•28 days ago

There significant others mist feel incredibly unlucky. And pain.

mercime.bsky.social•28 days ago

Probably much like they are when it comes to sex

Square hole round peg men

stephanierose1717.bsky.social•27 days ago

I think the saying is a square peg in a round hole.

1observationist.bsky.social•28 days ago

Me hearing a very loud white woman this week, “ OH MY GOD, STARBUCKS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE”. Also me admitting I spent a day at Starbucks because it was closer than better coffee houses in that day.

liaskwerklooi.bsky.social•28 days ago

rosecrystalangel.bsky.social•28 days ago

Guess where else they shove cords! 😎
