This is much more wholesome than what I was thinking.

I try to fit a whole person in my pants every day. They only fit about half the guy, tho. 😔

Pockets have come a long way

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

was at a flea market, there was a machete, i jockingly called it a pocket knife, because it fits in a pocket,

put it in my pocket, it fit.

felt bad for my daughter's who will likely never get proper pockets.

who do I need to hack with my pocket knife for them to get normal pockets?

My double standard is that when I see someone with a boombox playing music in public, I'm chill and open to it. When someone does the same thing on their phone, I must work to enhance my calm.

Is it the sound quality? Maybe in part. But there's more to it.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Maybe it's that a boombox playing music is more social and open, whereas what someone does with their phone is typically meant to be private, but some people play their music or w/e noise out loud from it as if only they can hear their phone and you're just supposed to pretend they aren't overstepping boundaries.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

I think it's a mindset thing. A boombox means you're thinking about an audience. Consideration is implicit.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I hate when people have boomboxes too

An sycophant assistant who makes shit up just to keep you happy.

Who says that man doesn't carry out that function?

Don't forget about fidget apps, so throw in some bubble wrap too.

He screamed, loudly then sobbed through tears, at the foot of the table where the Epsom sat mocking him with it's silence.

TBF, the stereo speakers probably sound better and are certainly capable of being much louder than my phone speakers. But yeah, miles better in every other capacity.

You cannot fit three sets of headphones in your pocket without them fucking up your phone or your wallet.

You absolutely positively 100% cannot fit a VHS player inside your pocket.

[–] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

And a boom box. Sure, phones can play music, but not at the same volume or quality as a dedicated stereo system (quality meaning the frequency response, phones just physically can't get the low end without a separate speaker)

The forgot the encyclopedia set and a couple thousand books and a few hundred video tapes.

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

nah, the speakers from that boombox are not in my pocket.

[–] Hackworth@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The single CD amongst all that analog media seems so much like an anachronism that I had to look it up. The CD standard was published in 1980 and it was commercially available in the US in 1983 but it took until 1992 for CD sales to surpass cassette tape sales.

When I was young, I had a bucket list of all the fun gadgets I wanted - a camera, a video camera, a nice stereo system, a portable stereo system, a car stereo, lots of records, a TV, a VCR, a computer, etc. Making a Christmas list was easy, even if I knew I would never get 99% of it.

Now I get asked what I want for Christmas, and I have no idea what to say. My phone includes nearly everything I've ever wanted, including stuff I never thought of. Give me my phone, my guitar, a sandwich, and a bottle of water, and I'm pretty much set for life.

Even ignoring the joke with the dude fitting into your pocket, I cannot fit full over-ear cans I to my pocket... This is just lies.

And technically most of it would fit inside your butt. There just isn't a market for butt phones.

Me, from the the future, explaining this meme to people in 1987: We developed new textiles that support giant pockets with incredible durability.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Kinda miss having discrete tech devices to be honest. In the era of non-replaceable phone memory trying to juggle space to hold it all on one device sucks.

I'm more than 50% sure I briefly worked with this guy.
