A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I hate the people who get those shitty bluetooth speakers and blast them in public. The people who blast music from their phone's speakers are assholes, but you could still say that they don't have headphones on them, but the people with the speakers? They intentionally went out of their way to buy a device for the purpose of being a public nuisance. They're a special of asshole.
Yeah. The proper way is to hook up your phone to, and carry around, your $2500 speakers with gold plated cables or whatever.
Now seriously, I don't listen to music on the speakers because I'm mindful of other people, so I use headphones or simply don't listen to music
While I would never listen to music in public on my phone speakers, I have to say that they are just as good as, if not better than, transistor radios I have had.
But react angry when you remind them that you're not interested in their conversation!
audiophiles and introverts in hard agreement in this one. handshake meme.
I'm neither and i dont mind listening to the classical radio station on my phone in my house, or seeing the odd cooky character passing by with their music for a moment. as long as they're only passing thru...
Probably the music is horrible too, so...
Some do that even in the train.
I like to say "it sucks you can't afford headphones".
Not just music but also stupid canned slaughtered comedy routines that some of my coworkers flood our break room with occasionally
Always the shittiest, most tone-deaf trap/hip-hop music with the same exact snare drum riff on a loop. There's objectively good stuff from those genres out there, how do these people consistently find the worst?
We’re not talking about smart people here…
As a homeless guy that hangs out at McDonald's everyday, this hits close to...well, not "home" 😅
This hits close to current location? :)
PS, hope you find a place to live soon.
Don't get me started on people that wear too much cologne or perfume 😅
Thank you 🫂
I had a hero bus driver who pulled over the bus and kicked out a guy who was doing this.
Based.
I use it in my shop when I'm alone and want something to listen to other than my tools.
my problem with people who do this? they're listening to the worst possible music in a public space.
Music is horrible but how about when they are scrolling through shorts or tiktok whith blasting sound? Like a never ending spirit box
Hearing two seconds of the worst possible version of a song you (used to before that) like. It's like some punishment
My worst example is another “while scrolling” but dude had the same mumble trap sample play for every notification, so it was essentially on repeat.
I am convinced most people are just walking around as blank eyed zombies that can only think about food, sex, and scrolling TikTok.
While some might trash this take for sounding "boomer" you're not wrong, on a very deep level the profound decline in American and European reading comprehension has led to nearly a quarter of our population being functionally illiterate, and the problem here is much deeper than reading scores or being well-read, the problem is without a robust, developed language system, your brain is far less capable of organizing and contextualizing even basic kinds of abstractions about our world.
We use words in our minds to create dialogues and monologs to explore meaning and synthesize ideas and understanding about complicated topics. Without words to create these narrations it's much harder or impossible understand anything beyond what you immediately feel and see and hear, you become highly linear in your thinking and also highly reactionary.
You're seeing people walking around like blank-eyed zombies because the number of blank-eyed zombies is literally increasing.
I see various forms of peacocking these days. The other one is blasting a 1sq mile radius with music from a vehicle.
Incidentally this meme captures my reaction when I see Clint Eastwood.
People got worse over the course of the pandemic and it appears they have no intention to go back to more reasonable public behavior ever.
In the early 60s my teenage cousin constantly held a "transistor radio" like this up to her ear, listening to top 40 stations. I bet it sounded similar.
Got that blank stare down pat.
That's angst.
Theres a janitor at my work that sits in the break room all day blasting right wing tick tocks while people are on coffee break, its insanely annoying.
Start playing Obama speeches when he's doing it.
Bro did this on the train last weekend. I told him the conductors tell us to silence our phones out of respect for everyone else. Didn't do shit 😂
