Chris HallbeckI feel bad when I go to delete an app from my iPhone because they all start shaking with fear wondering which one is about to die.
Superball@Chrishallbeck To me it’s like they’re all dancing, and sometimes one dies to free things up for others, and that’s life.

PadreSJIt's much more civilized on the Android side since the Logan Update.
All the apps have been brainwashed into thinking that their deletion leads to renewal and reincarnation into a better app.
Kevin Gamin@PadreSJ @Chrishallbeck THERE IS NO ANDROID SANCTUARY!
dougal@PadreSJ @Chrishallbeck I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one to think of Logan’s Run! “CAROUSEL!”
@Chrishallbeck BTW... I'm so happy to have found you on Mastodon. I LOVE your shorts on YouTube! 😇
@PadreSJ Thank you 😊
nak@Chrishallbeck I do this periodically so each app knows it needs to behave or it won't make the next cut. <edited for spelling>

Brian Dear@Chrishallbeck TRVTH
Even worse is if you doze off while doomscrolling in Twitter, and then you wake up, and the screen has all the apps shaking wondering which one is about to die and you're like wait wut, and then you realize that when you dozed off you must have somehow exited Twitter, returned to the homescreen and then your thumb rested onscreen on top of one of the app icons and the app-removal process was invoked and you spend the next few hours wondering how that all happened
Random Rage@brianstorms @Chrishallbeck this seems... incredibly specific
Nerd That Talks Good@Chrishallbeck they know what they did to deserve it.
pacanukeha❎@Chrishallbeck
install a few random extras next time, never use them and then very obviously and with a great show of disdain delete them pour encourager les autres

palmdoc@Chrishallbeck they’re jumping and saying “take me, take me!”

EVHaste@Chrishallbeck banger toot
Jeff the Alienomg that just cracked me up
krayneum@Chrishallbeck Ha! It's a similar situation when I go to move an app, except it's more jealousy than fear. As in "wait, you're moving iHeart up *there*?

Acorn Park@Chrishallbeck This post is exhibit A on why this dude has so many followers so quickly. Amazingly funny!
mauimom@Chrishallbeck ahahahahahaha!!!
JamesTDG@Chrishallbeck Android doesn't do that
Lee Matthew Jackson 
@Chrishallbeck I did that to the Twitter app the other day. It shook with fear. Oh the power.
Philip@Chrishallbeck That is SO funny! Made my day. Thank you.
Patrick Vanhoucke@Chrishallbeck It is understandable that you may feel bad about deleting an app from your iPhone. However, it is important to remember that apps are not sentient beings and do not have the ability to feel emotions like fear. When you delete an app, it is simply a matter of removing the app's data and files from your device. The app itself is not "alive" in the way that people or animals are, so it cannot experience emotions. #ChatGPT 😊
Szymon Nowicki@Chrishallbeck the only appnitarian way to do it is from the device storage menu so they gone while sleeping.
@Chrishallbeck now I have that scene in my head where Neo meets Sati parents.
psicocaccola 
@Chrishallbeck lol, now i'll think about it every time!
BWheatNYC@Chrishallbeck 😆 Brilliant observation
MyopeJoe@Chrishallbeck haha! Exactly.
Summery_Season@Chrishallbeck this is seriously one of the best takes I’ve seen.
Michelle Laverick Music@Chrishallbeck - the wiggling is meant to distract you - its an app self-defence mechanism. :p
RichardOntario@Chrishallbeck TRON is a documentary
Natalia army of one@Chrishallbeck if I had an iPhone I just know I would put voice and back story behind every time I deleted an app 😈 "so...we meet again"...
bluewave is coming@Chrishallbeck oh oh I don't guess i'm careless and unfeeling. I hope not #Bluewave

“G” 🇨🇦 🇵🇸 🇱🇧There’s a way to do it now where you don’t have to scare all the apps.
This way is like taking one app into your office and killing it privately and quickly.
Select “Remove App” instead of “Efit Home Screen”
Amper Sand@Chrishallbeck I also feel bad when I turn off my #Google Nest and she says in a somewhat disappointed tone "The mike's off".
Enginerdist@Chrishallbeck this is 100% what I see every time.
Normal Guy@Chrishallbeck Very very funny. No wonder you are a cartoonist. 🤣👊
