Introvert tip #42 - Lemmy

Don’t hang up. Instead, enable airplane mode for increased verisimilitude.
Thanks for showing me a new word! “Verisimilitude” seems useful.

For those like me…

noun: The quality of appearing to be true or real. synonym: truth.

Context implied it but still…Nice word!

I’m glad you like it! I like how it’s made up of three common and easily-identifiable components: it uses the same root as verify meaning true, the same root as similar meaning “like”, with tude being a common suffix like -ness. Basically “true-likeness”.

There really needs to be a word of the day community on here!
So many better, easier options than a simple toggle in your settings. Drop it down a sewer grate, pry out the battery, drop it in a faraday cage.
Just keep your phone permanently in airplane mode; problem fixed.
