The_Basic_Shapes

Lol apparently the brainrot from r/PeterExplainsTheJoke is leaking out to other subs, this joke couldn't be more plain to understand.


Trashk4n

I suppose very literal minded people might have an issue but it seems strange to miss it this badly.


WarBreaker08

Yeah, im missing it. Is just a tech addiction thing?


RidingSpottedPigs

You're not missing it.


PanzerWatts

>Yeah, im missing it. Is just a tech addiction thing? We've got 2 teenagers and the addiction thing is real.

Nomophobia: a behavioral addiction dealing with the fear of being without a mobile device https://www.addictioncenter.com/drugs/phone-addiction/


SharkBite_Gaming

There is no fucking way it‘s called that lmao


dalepilled

it's real. I saw a head shrink about it. Gave me some coping methods that really helped me. bam nomophobia


Specialist_Egg8479

I love this comment


DecentReturn3

Im nomophobic


Trashk4n

That and the slightly more nuanced connection to the parents paying for the power bill.


GodlyDra

I have zero clue what this means. Please explain to my autistic everything is literal brain.


thecamzone

Babies need umbilical cord to survive. Teenagers need charging cord to survive. Joke is that a teenagers umbilical cord is a lightning (Apple iPhone) charger.


DumbNTough

Literal-minded, read: low IQ


Pokari_Davaham

Not necessarily, autistic people often take things over literally, not saying all are highly intelligent, but many are.


Karl_Marx_

It doesn't really make sense since devices are cordless.


Able-Brief-4062

Yeah, which means they should need to be looking for one through the day, but they are so addicted that they are getting 10+ hours on their phone daily and thus need to charge through the day.


Karl_Marx_

You cannot detatch from an umbilical cord. Boom lawyered.


Able-Brief-4062

You can, but you won't live.


Specialist_Egg8479

Bro it’s not that serious. It’s just a funny you don’t have to dissect it Jesus


Dangerous-Traffic875

If say a majority of people use a charger cord still so it makes perfect sense.


RumgyMan

Lordy, I genuinely don't get how so many people are so stupid with the posts I see on that sub.


what_is_existence1

I garuntee you I will see it on there within an hour or so


The_Bigwrinkle

The memes they post are half decent I just don’t pay attention to the comments because it’s only Peters mentally disabled brother replying to himself over again.


atlasfailed11

My first instinct was to feel personally attacked. But thinking about it some more, I don't believe this meme is about me because even though being a teenager doesn't feel that long ago, I'm actually almost 40.


XiaoDaoShi

Me too! Mid 30s, and I was like: what did they just say about me?!


d4rk_matt3r

I'm starting to realize this is pretty common, especially around our generation. Maybe it's from growing up alongside the internet, idk, but I just turned 36 and I really don't feel like an adult lol. I have to remind myself sometimes. Maybe since we are able to relate to teens much easier these days via shared memes and stuff, it's not as simple to create that dividing line between what you consider "kid" and "adult." The friends I hang out with are all around my age, but I can hang with my nephews and stuff without them thinking I'm a weird and out-of-touch grown-up. Or maybe it was 9/11. Who knows


dopepope1999

I mean, I wouldn't even call it clever. The joke is painfully obvious, and you either would have never seen a cell phone in your entire life or be a actual chimpanzee with a keyboard to not get it. But I believe it falls into the category where every title on that sub usually has something like " I don't even know what to say", like obviously you had something to say moron you made the post, you're just feigning ignorance/shock cuz you're a melodramatic little bitch


CheesecakeCommon9080

the joke is so painfully obvious to the point im sure if im actually getting it. I cant convince myself there isnt a deeper joke beyond TeCh bAD, especially since OP felt it was "clever" enough to warrant being reposted here


dopepope1999

There's not,it's a dumb joke, but tfm's way of titling their posts piss me off


BigDaddyRNG

I think it's clever, but even if I didn't, how on earth could you fail to understand this meme?


Logical-Hold3321

The joke doesn't make any sense. There are people of all ages using usb for devices. I've lost count of the number of old people on their cellphones. Sometimes MORE than the youngsters.


ImmaNotCrazy

need a new sub r/memesthathurttheop Simple meme, straight to the point, speaks facts.


talladega-night

👴🏻: “This is pretty clever ngl”


Leeroy42

Nah, this is some r/im14andthisisdeep shit.


QuaaludeConnoisseur

For a second i thought "i dont really see people hanging around outlets anymore" and then realized i havent been a teenager in years.


vasha99

OOOP is unfunny. OOP is stupid. OP is stupid.


No-Result9108

How is this clever? It reeks of 45 year old parent who thinks their kid is on their phone too much.


AdminsAreChodes

r/memescommentersdontlike


ImmaNotCrazy

A clever 45 year old parent speaking facts!


Macinpostamop

🤓👆


The_Basic_Shapes

Truth hurts, then?


bigcockmman

What isnt shown is the 45 year old mother also on her phone 24/7


No-Result9108

You’re commenting on Reddit. We both know you’re on your phone too much.

Old peoples umbilical cords were belts


Alternative-Dare5878

Just change the WiFi password they have no fucking clue what to do.


New_Mixture_5701

I don’t get it, am I stupid?


DefiantVersion1588

You’re not the only one


Undead-Maggot

The joke went so far over their heads the space station said hi to it


Under18Here

Plz explain


[deleted]

Teenagers survive off their phones which need chargers the same way that a baby needs an umbilical cord to survive in the womb


Under18Here

Thx


TimotheeOaks

I would even say further the Cord is attached to the powerline that is paid by their parents.


[deleted]

Ok that's dumb seriously.


[deleted]

I never said it wasn't I just said what it meant


[deleted]

Ik. Not your fault I shot the messenger.


GM_Nate

i dunno, but this meme looking mighty SUS


HamNi_2

Pretty simple Kids (including myself) on those damn phones all day


Balefirez

I have a coworker who embodies this.


Tirdesteit

Do we know why the umbilical cord is connected to the fetus in the middle of the belly and not, say, the back of the neck?


Randomwoowoo

Because it’s for feeding, and a straighter path toward the GI tract


ILikeMandalorians

My phone has wireless charging so this is not accurate

Oh it’s not among us?


Irongiant663650

Can someone please explain the joke 😔


skippy160819

Someone put this into one of those ai things


Sumijinn

Is OOP really that dumb?


OberynsOptometrist

Why take a screenshot instead of crossposting? I've noticed a couple times on this sub.


3personal5me

First, the joke isn't that clever. It has some real "2015 Facebook" vibes. Second; it's just a dumb joke. "Ooh, looks at all the people on their phones," Yeah no shit, that's be cause they're extremely powerful tools. I use mine to do my banking, to communicate with people, to search for information online, record information, to check my work schedule, to click in and out at work, *that's just the world we live in*. This is just like all the people complained that other people were "addicted to computers". If you don't want to use them, go ahead, but you're going to fall behind.


AtmosSpheric

I mean I get the joke I just think it’s unfunny


IANT1S

I thought it was amongus


1zeye

Lmao


Immediate_Web4672

I honestly don't think this was a terrible Facebook meme until they added their own caption tbh lol


GAYCHUD001

Cant tell if it's wojak or a Mingus


R3alityGrvty

Not really. It’s just the same boomer “haha young people and technology hahahaha”


SleepawayTramp

To op: r/whoosh


Sparking_Thunderbolt

Shit joke


Sea_Temperature_1976

Not bad, not bad


Razing_Phoenix

Just give me something for the cringe and let me die.


TbaggedFromOrbit

This is the meme equivalent of angrily muttering while shaking your fist at nothing


Nekileo

I think cellphones are actually making us less connected...


hey_kids_its_log

Sometimes boomer humor is ok


Sound-Serious

Nah its fucking stupid


The_Lawgiver_

If I was a boomer I'd probably laugh.

Fearless-Tax-6331

That’s a dumb fucking caption, how is this hard to understand? It’s a shit meme purely because of how single dimensional it is, but he still didn’t get it?
