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.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours 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.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 9 hours ago

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 🙄

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

Spouse: hands me a 10 minute youtube video

[–] meliodas_101@lemmy.world 25 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I don't get it.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

"men bad lol"

[–] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] brey1013@lemmy.world 23 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 20 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

PBS Space Time

Matt's Off Road Recovery

[–] Jubei_K_08@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Enjoy lots of archaeology videos and old movies.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day 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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I show my girlfriend videos about how car indicators work.

[–] Asmodis@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

Technology Connections is an awesome channel though.

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@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

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

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

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Babe, wake up! NEW ROMAN AQUEDUCTS LORE JUST DROPPED!

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 73 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

Why did you do that?

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm guessing it wasn't a deal breaker

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 92 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 73 points 1 day 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.

If only there was another option... kinda like a gal pal that would do that weird thing with the wisk and the cattleprod, and didn't try to show you their monster truck videos on a broken Galaxy 4.

Ah well, that must not exist, guess that's that.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago (14 children)

Videos are a big screen activity.

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

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Astonishing that there are dipshits who managed to be offended even by this.
