Casey Kolderupone thing I think we should have carried over from magazines to phones is that when you turn it sideways it means you’re looking at racy content. missed opportunities for visual gags
martin@casey this is how I use my laptop
Jesse@casey Quibi almost had it...
Georg Pedersen@casey now you just have to watch for their eyes bugging out like saucers and their tongue falling to the floor
eviloatmeal, resident Death Stranding 2 apologist (arch, btw)@casey We did carry that over, you're just misunderstanding: It's not "turning it sideways" that indicates you're looking at racy content, it's "viewing it in portrait orientation". Which, in the era of getting the internet beamed directly to your telephone... Yes, everyone's looking at racy content all the time. Maybe you're not, but you're missing out.
marcus@casey not strictly related but i asked a french-speaking professor once if mixing up formal vous/informal tu over the phone was a stock sitcom gag and he said "no. no it's very serious"
Jenn Turner@casey this could be true depending on what you’re watching!
brettwitty@casey Yeah but the phone has to be a folding phone so it opens up as you go "Phwoar!"
