I prefer having someone far less evil on mine.

You know, I see women with themselves on the lockscreen all the time, but I've never had the nerve to ask why.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 7 hours ago

Definitely not a narcissist. Totally normal. We all do that, right? /s

That's something an old person would do. This all checks out

Working in a store and being known locally as the “tech guy”, you would be surprised how many young people (mostly girls) have handed me their phone and the lock screen and background pics are selfies.

If it’s a man with a pic of himself it’s usually with something he identifies with. A tractor, a guitar, a game collection, a truck or car, guns. Shit like that.

Donald Trump identifies with Donald Trump and MAGA hats. It has nothing to do with making America great either. Maga is just a word now, and that word means Donald Trump.

I was wondering about this phenomenon yesterday. A female coworker handed me her phone and it was a mirror selfie which I didn't think anything of at first, but it slowly dawned on me how odd I would find that had it been a man doing it. Can't really think of a good reason why that is but I guess it's just a weird cultural thing.

Even more simple than that its what a narcissist would do.

My lock screen is black and my wallpaper is black. Less clutter. Less visual noise. Easier to find items.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Also, depending on the screen, less battery drain.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 hours ago

I have a black background because why would I want anything else. My lock-screen has always been an image that I made many years ago.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 25 points 10 hours ago

Makes sense. There's nothing in this universe he loves more.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

And his fans call trans people narcisistic, for wanting to be respected and not wanting to hear yet another dumb "remedy" for "gender confusion".

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

I don’t understand how any of them can have a problem with narcissists when their god is the living embodiment of narcissism.

[–] rollerbang@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

This is how he knows it's really couldn't be anyone else's phone.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 30 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Did anybody expect anything less?

I'm still surprised he didn't pick himself as his own vice president candidate.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He tried but Pres and VP candidates by law have to be from different states.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago

He's from New York but lives in Florida. No problem, right?

If only this photo was taken a minute later

I was focused on the clock from the screenshot trying to figure out what 6:56 meant, then I realized I'm dumb.

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

I got confused too so I'll explain for others. Trumps phone is on the table. On his phone the clock says 9:10, 9:10 + 1 minute = 9:11.

Trump, every time he looks at his phone:

I'd elect me.

I'd elect me so hard.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 37 points 16 hours ago (7 children)

He knows that he can't pull off having the coolest fucking lockscreen of all time:

What an amazingly fragile person.

[–] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 42 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Donald Trump's wallpaper is a picture of ~~himself~~ a well known rapist
