That's why I send my memes to my wife's phone. so she can view them on her own phone.

I'm a man who hates watching videos on my phone, but I'm already married. I'll ask around tho.

Seems like there is a solution she hasn't considered. Marrying a woman who has and uses her own phone. It won't be "a man's phone" then.

[–] Lumisal 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or a man that doesn't use a phone, only a laptop.

Or a non-binary that doesn't use any technology.

Or a clone of herself, that way she's just showing herself her own phone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Clones stop being you the moment they are created, assuming they had your memories in the first place, which isn't scientifically plausible.

Please be serious about this 🙄

[–] SkyezOpen 2 points 17 hours ago

I'd still fuck em.

[–] LovableSidekick 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

We don't know that she hasn't considered that option.

Me: "Remind me, which ingredients do we need again?"

Spouse: hands me a 10 minute youtube video

[–] dessimbelackis 17 points 1 day ago

Are you kidding me? My fb chat with my wife is nothing but memes and videos from her

[–] brey1013 23 points 1 day ago

A man can get into a lot of trouble, if he doesn't watch the endless tiktok reals with enthusiasm and excitement.

[–] FlyingSquid 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't have a kid. You'll be made to watch videos on their phone. For hours' worth of your life.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If it's exclusively David Attenborough documentaries, then that's okay.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 day ago

It is not. Although it does involve lots and lots of animals so they can tell you how cute they are.

I got married even though it meant waiting for every restaurant meal to be photographed and posted to Instagram before I could take a bite.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 2 days ago (1 children)

One of those moments when I'm glad my wife cares almost as little about social media as I do.

Showing me the weird shit you watch on YouTube is a requirement for me, I want to know what videos you watch when you're alone and bored with nothing to do.

Matt's Off Road Recovery

[–] Jubei_K_08 4 points 1 day ago

Bobby Fingers' Michael Jackson on Fire Diorama is the first weird video I'll share. Good litmus test for the relationship I think.

[–] Rakonat 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I hope you like documentaries about completely random shit from politics of a foreign nation over 300 years ago, to how an obscure campaign of a war over a hundred years ago was fought, a full biography of a fictional character and what events they may have been witness to, to a plethora of asmr things as background noise, engineering deep dives and video game related content.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I show my girlfriend videos about how car indicators work.

[–] Asmodis 9 points 1 day ago

Technology Connections is an awesome channel though.

My wife tells me dad jokes. Really really terrible dad jokes. Ones that make me roll my eyes, and I'm a dad. That's how bad they are. But they make her laugh so I'm ok with that.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i have a tip to get back at her. whenever her phone rings, make sure you say 'its for you'. i still find this hilarious after 15 years . she is less amused, but at least im entertained.

I showed this to my girlfriend and she was like, "I don't get it, why are you showing this to me?"

[–] oxomoxo 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I guess people don’t know the stand-up comedian Blair Socci yet. She’s kind of funny but I have a feeling this was an idea for a joke that isn’t fully formed. A lot of comedians use social media to workshop their stuff…

[–] FanciestPants 2 points 1 day ago

I liked Blair's "appearance" on the Bad Dates podcast.

[–] EtherWhack 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And I don't want to be made to watch TikTok videos.

Nah, I'm too Gen X to watch videos on my phone, let me pull it up on my laptop.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 62 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Videos are a big screen activity.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago (9 children)

For me it's more that youtube videos are a browser with an ad blocker activity.

[–] TastyWheat 11 points 2 days ago

What's wrong with men's phones? Is she afraid of fucking cooties?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

I believe, it's possible to marry women, then you don't have to watch videos on a man's phone. 🙃

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

If i know you and you're in my general vicinity youre gonna be watching a YouTube video even if you're married to someone else i'm a slut that way

[–] edgemaster72 18 points 2 days ago

There's plenty other reasons that disqualify me from marriage but sharing videos on my phone is not one of them
