Reply to TIL On Christmas Eve 1969, Francisco Macias Nguema had 186 suspected dissidents executed in the national football stadium in Malabo with the executioners dressed as Santa Claus, with the amplifiers played Mary Hopkin's song "Those Were the Days". by Osrever101
Alright, next celebrity/character that saves Christmas? This is your assignment. Fix this.

Reply to comment by Professional_Fee_131 in My original popsocket I got free from a bar in 2018 finally gave out. Survived 2 phones and 3 cases and 5 years of use. Never once doubted it. Time to replace for a new one! by flatearthmom
My wife loves these things but I think her average is like 3 months before something gets toasted.
We reuse the parts that we can, but it's hardly a long term item.

I do this, and yeah, it tails off in a matter of weeks or days, where ignoring them just has them trying again later.
I did this on my personal phone and it seemed to work, so when my colleague and I got new work phones, I tried it again. My spam calls dropped off almost immediately, while she said she kept getting spam for months at last I heard before leaving the company.

I do this too! Answer, clear my throat, then mute and listen. A human can tell I answered, but most robocalls miss it, or if they do hear it, I've already muted the line.
My spam calls tailed off way faster than when I used to ignore it completely, because at no answer they still keep trying. Playing dead seems to get you off the list way faster

Reply to comment by Meurs0 in TIL that only about 4% of the Earth's surface has two points on opposite sides of the world that are both on land by A_1337_Canadian
Ah, thank you! So the land and thus the probabilities are not distributed evenly. That makes sense.

And for goodness' sake don't share the rubber inserts!!
I get it, they fall off, they're easy to lose. I knew one guy in college who said when he needed a replacement he would just walk around campus staring at the floor or in corners until he found one that someone else had lost, and then just use that.
🤮
You wouldn't share your nose boogers; ear gunkies are not any better.
