Breaking a cable with style!
Bad for the charging port. You know, that hole with 24 extremely tiny wires and pins? Once that's damaged, you have a brick, not a phone.
This is why I believe in UK plug supremacy. Extreme support, extreme safety. Be extreme today. Convert to the UK plug
That's make the phone pretty bulky
They're talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from "24 pins".

You may hide now before the europlug F squad I called gets here.
Schuko is way nicer and isn't a landmine when left on the floor.
You don't have wireless charging as a backup?
I don't think I have seen many phones with that feature.
You... haven't seen many phones that can charge wirelessly? In 2024??
the phones with that feature are way to expensive
A backup, sure. But I use Android Auto every day. Also, I wouldn't be able to charge it from my power bank or use headphones if the USB-C port was damaged.

At first, I wasn't sure where I was supposed to be looking. Thank you red arrow.
I can't see any red arrows, can anyone help me with a red circle?
Honestly why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? It’s SO SIMPLE
If the cable is that long, why not just set it on the floor?

I'm a huge fan of creating a meme about another person, and using a drawing like this. It allows the person to remain anonymous.
She looks happy, at least. Maybe it's kinda meditative. You don't want to move too much. Just sit, relax, and be a table.
Modern problems require modern solutions
I didn't realize heads were a recent invention.
They aren't new per se, but few people actually use them

It's brilliant in its simplicity. I'd never think of that. I'd try to overengineer something out of the environment, but with less skill than MacGyver.
I would just stand and hold it. Or see if it could reach a pocket
I would just pull out the longer cable from my backpack. Or use the power bank I have in my backpack. Or use the power bank as a pass-through to use both the cables. Or accept the fate and shutdown my primary phone partially* or completely.
*Partial shutdown means disabling certain services and features to save power without fully shutting down everything. This does usually not mean using a battery saver. I use MIUI, it is already fairly unpredictable and regular battery saver** only makes this situation worse.
**There's also ultra battery saver which kills everything deemed unnecessary running in the background. That couldn't be more predictable.

Is there any reason to not put the phone on the charging brick?
Being on the metro the phone ~~could~~ will easily fall when accelerating and braking
I can never vet mine to balance, I can't line up my phones centre of gravity because the wall is always in the way.
the vetting process can indeed be very difficult
Marcille-ass dungeon-meshi sketch all like “I can just order grub hub if I need it.”

There is now an IMAP community and this has been reposted there. :)
I'm sorry, IMAP? Like... The mail protocol?
"I missed a picture". All resemblance to email protocols real or imagined is purely coincidental.
Seems like crossposting is an effective way to seed a community, because the crosspost got about 120 upvotes, and the subscriber count is now up to 60.
