Mine conked out with a white screen after I dropped it on the kitchen floor yesterday. My old phones were able to keep working after I dropped them. Honestly, wish that phone companies would make phones that can survive being dropped a few times.

I've had my moto g for at least 4 years. Screen is a bit scratched but it still works with no problems. It's not like I've never dropped it.

Most can survive a few drops. If yours died after just one, you either dropped it particularly hard, had a particularly weak phone, or just got unlucky with how it landed.

It doesn't help that they make modern phone backs out of freaking glass. I dropped my Galaxy S9 about 2 feet off the ground before I got my case for it and the back cracked. "Gorilla" glass my ass. Shit would break if a Gorilla sneezed at it.

I dropped my phone and tried to ease the fall with my foot once. The screen hit my ankle and shattered. I love having really dense bones except that I can't float.

ITP: Kyuubi doesn't understand that a person can swim but have a density greater than water that makes floating a chore.

Yes. There are several water resistant phones on the market. Capable of being submerged in a few feet of water for 30 seconds.

Yeah I'm sure a lot of people get murdered because they broke down on the side of thre road. I dont see how cell phones stop you from getting murdered either. If someone wants you dead a cellphone isnt gonna stop them

Sure. But calling for help and waiting in your car is safer than walking down an unlit road by yourself in the middle of the night.

True but just saying people act like they cant survive without a cellphone. Hell just recently went like 3 montha without one cause mine just quit working and I said fuck it. New one wasnt a priority. And I drive a older truck

You definitely can survive without. I went half a year not too long ago because I just didnt have the funds. But it is true that it is safer to have one. Especially for emergencies when out and about.

Only thing that sucks about a rural area in this regard is it might be a looooong walk depending on where you break down.

Better yet - look at the dropping average IQ of cell users. They are the reason we have these YT 'challenges'. On the plus side though, the need for unique selfies has done well to reduce the low cards living in the herd. It's a modern take on natural selection.

On the contrary, I'm the only one who did figure it out. And when I spoke about what they're spreading they blocked me from their forum. I mean they didn't even offer a fix. It's designed to be abusive which is all the more proof there's a lot of BS going on in secret. It's no coincidence Steam users are incompetent. Kinda like a phone scam - target the gullible. Pick the lowest hanging fruit.

Shopping for food. But even during a 10 minute drive, you car could break down. You could walk, but during certain weather, it could definitely be safer to call for help. Even if not for you, for others. By that, if it was raining or the roads were covered in ice, someone car could slip and hit you. So, not even your own fault. Having a cell phone would allow you to call for help. And then you could safely wait in your car for help. Whether its a tow to a car shop or just back home.

How far are we willing to stretch this? What's next, an earthquake on the east coast or a meteor strike? I mean these situations are so unlikely. By your guys logic I could be standing in my front yard and get bit by a snake unless I have one of those $100 a month magic boxes that prevent all bad situations. Reminds me of that Simps ep where Homer buys the rock that keeps bears away.

A car breaking down isnt an unlikely situation. Happens to lots of people. Youre the one trying to act like a cell phone is useless to everyone. First of all, everyones situation isnt the same. Just because you live 10 minutes away from work doesnt mean everybody else does. Also, youre the one pretending that everything is always perfect. Cars break down. Weather happens. Emergencies occur. A cell phone helps when those problems arise. Just because you dont always need one doesnt mean its not convenient or helpful.
