Will cost $25.000 but you can also pay in 12.400 eggs

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s pretty optimistic, assuming the price of eggs will go down. /s

[–] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

/s is understood.

But on a serious note, eggs have come down around me in Michigan. The cheap eggs are around $5 a dozen, which to be clear is still ridiculous. But it beats the $7-8 it was

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That's gonna be 5 eggs and even then it would be overpaying.

They finally figured out how to make the battery replacable.

Nah, that case would be glued together so tight you'd have to destroy it to get it open.

With a modern lithium battery that size, this would hold the charge for a lifetime

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

Unless HP makes the battery.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

and it would give your arms a workout.

Two tin cans and a length of string, but the cans are Heinz

Well, at least they are building the new phone from recycled materials....

The horrific thing is that with rate that mobile phone sports betting is ripping through the U.S. this would save a lot of people's lives.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some years ago i was kind of shocked that gambling was pretty illegal in america. Then i thought the whole las vegas thing makes sense. Then they legalized sports gambling and online casinos a few years ago and americans just burn through 100s of billions of dollars a year ever since. That is fucking horrific

Wait until you learn how the US education system is propped up by lottery 'earnings'

Ey, that's a good ad campaign "Apple saves lives"

Probably even the brick from the picture is made in china.

iPhone 17 will be more like two paper cups with a string

Emits so much radiation that it will give you brain cancer.

I actually knew a traveling salesman in the 90s who used one of these. He was on it literally all day every day because his company was paying for it. He was in industrial sales for a mining company and they really didn't care how much any of it cost. So he would make his business calls as well as personal calls just for anything with anyone. He used to brag all the time that he was on a long distance call and talk for an hour.

In about 2005 he was diagnosed with cancer and they found a brain tumor on the right side of his head .... the same side he held the phone all the time.

The only thing they could determine was his phone use ..... and the fact that he most likely overused the thing.

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mobile phone radiation is non-ionising. There is no known mechanism for it giving you cancer. Regardless of mechanism there's ample research on the topic, and no sign of a link

Whatever happened to Jill Stein anyway?

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

She’s still working in the same career field: Pretend Presidential Candidate That Funnels Money Away From Local Races where Greens Could Actually Compete And Erode The Two Party Duopoly.

being silenced by a police state after speaking up against genocide.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that the take now? I figured it would be her and RFK jr were having dinner at the Kremlin. How soon we forget.

[–] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

she was arrested for protesting and is now facing trumped up charges related to the incident

you no what's crazy is Democrats lost that election too and they're not willing to do something that brave. where's Harris assaulting officers and resisting arrest for gaza?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Hey now it may not have been the radiation, could've been some of the phones materials leaching into his skin and causing cancer. I used to work estate sales and I once found one of these phones in the back of a closet thing (it was about 6 inches wide) which had somehow liquifide, it looked like it was melting down over time. I have never seen a piece of plastic do that so I have no clue what the fuck caused that but I would not be surprised if the reason I have never seen that is cause the plastic caused cancer and was broadly banned.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

...that is the same theory behind Ted Kennedy's tumor, once he was able to use the phone all the time(cellular phone) he never stopped using it

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago

Look you have to thank Gene Roddenberry for this invention.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

it commands respect, no one is going to mess with you when your phone is a literal brick that can be thrown through someone's window or break someones jaw
