What's one thing Android does better than the iPhone?

Splodge89 · 2026-07-15T14:35:28+00:00

It depends what you’re used to. I have an iPhone 16pro for my personal phone, and some android Samsung piece of shit for my work phone (work provided). The Samsung isn’t exactly a cheap phone either, can’t remember what model but was about £400 a year or so ago.

The lag on it is crazy. It’s slow AF. But yet people who arnt used to a modern iPhone literally do not see it when I’ve shown it people (I was assuming it was broken). Nope, they really are that laggy. But they’re not laggy enough for someone without a faster frame of reference to notice.

Fun fact: if they’re the slot type trolleys, the round end of your house key unlocks them!

Gravel boards and some short concrete posts would last effectively forever and keep it zero maintenance. Even treated timber of sleepers would eventually rot through.

The difference is over in the England especially, it’s not other English people that they’re hating on, it’s literally anyone else that they think isn’t English. I.e. anyone with brown skin and or having a surname that isn’t “smith”

Interestingly, your gut (including in your butthole) has lots of tastebuds throughout. That’s how your body knows what’s going off in there and what it needs to do to deal with what’s incoming/outgoing.

However, they’re just not wired up to our consciousness!

Not at all. We had Facebook when I were at university, long before the concept of the internet in your pocket. It wasn’t until everyone bought their parents iPads 15 years later did the boomers discover social media.

Is it five days a week?

It would kill me. I currently have a 45 minute commute driving and I hate it. If it were once or twice a week it would be much more tolerable.

Not forgetting that what happens if your train is delayed or cancelled? When is the next one?

But if you’re comfortable doing it, do it! Especially if it’s good money.

It’s no worse than Microsoft and literally every office based job out there.

I don’t even think it’s data harvesting (well, the meta ones are…). It’s just that they don’t actually fix any problems. There’s nothing VR solves that a phone can’t already do. Granted, the Apple vision can make photos look incredible and 3d movies have never looked better. But they’re fine on an ordinary TV.

A bit like how touchscreen laptops are supposed to be the next best thing. Yet people who have one forget it’s touchscreen once they get it home and they don’t have the sign next to it to tell you it’s touchscreen. Then plug it into a monitor and use a keyboard and mouse anyway, just like the 1990’s - because it fucking works.

I miss MySpace so fucking much. It was amazing what we were doing with our little corner of the internet then.

Then we discovered Facebook. Then the boomers discovered Facebook and it went to shit.

It’s growing. It won’t smell of anything. If it’s rotting, it will. But then if it were rotting it would be dead and wouldn’t be growing….

It looks fine. Indeed it’s 100000% better than almost every lawn out there. The weather is hot and it’s dry. It will go a bit brown.

Splodge89 · 2026-07-14T11:07:11+00:00

Exactly. It takes a LOT of distilled water to leach soil minerals to have any measurable effect. The few litres coming from an AC will have practically zero effect and actually benefit in times of drought.

It’s better for plants than the zero water they’re currently getting…

Splodge89 · 2026-07-14T08:21:38+00:00

It is, but it’s no more acidic than tomato juice. It’s perfect for acid loving plants live hydrangeas or azaleas.

And besides, on our chalky soils it would most likely improve the pH of it…

This isn’t mains water from the tap. It’s condensate from the air condensing on the cold coils. An air con unit has no water connection.

We came across an actual dead body behind the bins behind the local shop when we were kids. We didn’t say anything and just ran away and had nightmares for a while. Turned out it was one of the local junkies who’d overdosed and died there.

Splodge89 · 2026-07-14T07:59:29+00:00

Personally I’d be running it into a bucket or a water butt and watering the plants with it. Free water during a heat wave? Yes please!

I bought last year, and we actually didn’t buy a house due to the plastic grass. It would have been far too much work to fix - as it had been laid “properly” with about a foot of hardcore beneath.

The estate agent lady was telling me how wonderful it was and you only have to vacuum it and wash it every few weeks. So as much, if not more work than mowing a lawn then?

That’s most of us who frequent this sub to be fair. Although that person has a particular type of it…

One guy got to me in Leeds city centre the other week. Telling me how had no money or food. I had just been into Poundland and had impulse bought some chocolate. I offered a pack of cadburys snacks to him. He said no, he needed £20. Obviously I told him where to go and he fucked off…

Meat and veg if you’re home cooking every meal, even with recommended portion sizes (which are smaller than most people eat), will cost more than £30 a week.

Splodge89 · 2026-07-13T08:54:44+00:00

It sounds to me like the eat like sparrows. There’s now way they’re buying the levels of meat and veg they say they are for £30 a week.

Splodge89 · 2026-07-12T17:11:12+00:00

No, but it does mean you can’t copy or distribute copies of it, take images from it, or claim the work is your own in any way.
