Alarmed by the intimation that the bloke has been cremated or compacted somehow.

I am pretty sure I cannot fit a whole dude in my pocket.
Not trying hard enough
I try to fit a whole person in my pants every day. They only fit about half the guy, tho. 😔
Grindr exists, you know.
Pockets have come a long way
was at a flea market, there was a machete, i jockingly called it a pocket knife, because it fits in a pocket,
put it in my pocket, it fit.
felt bad for my daughter's who will likely never get proper pockets.
who do I need to hack with my pocket knife for them to get normal pockets?
Huh, you have a dude in your pants now, congrats.
I've always had a dude in my pants
lol, that dudes out there with no dude in his pants, what a dumbass.
Mr dudeless pants!!
... but that's just bcs I don't wear pants, I like to donald-duck it.
You could always keep him in your prison pocket.
Yeah he provides good vibes.
Missing:
- A game console
- All the maps in the world + compass
- Gigantic notepad
- Calendar
- Entire stack of catalogs
- Newspapers
- Thermostat
- A whole fucking supercomputer
- An entire building-sized stack of photo albums
- Flashlight
- An sycophant assistant who makes shit up just to keep you happy.

Who says that man doesn't carry out that function?
My double standard is that when I see someone with a boombox playing music in public, I'm chill and open to it. When someone does the same thing on their phone, I must work to enhance my calm.
Is it the sound quality? Maybe in part. But there's more to it.
Maybe it's that a boombox playing music is more social and open, whereas what someone does with their phone is typically meant to be private, but some people play their music or w/e noise out loud from it as if only they can hear their phone and you're just supposed to pretend they aren't overstepping boundaries.
I hate when people have boomboxes too
It’s always on public transit. Like that’s how some people prepare to go out and face the world, by making everyone else listen to their music. Like that’s the best way you can come up with to express yourself?
Yes. At least the person with a boom box brought quality speakers.
Also, their sick roller skate moves timed to their music are pretty great.
Edit: Plus, it's not inconsiderate, because everyone loves "Wham!" (Classic 1980s music, from the last time I saw a boom box in public.)
Print me something
I don't where the dude fits.
I think he's chatGPT?
Wait... My phone can play cassettes and cd's? Freaking awesome!
I wish, but for some reason most Android phones lack the correct drivers to play CD audio
mine doesn't even have a fucking disc tray

At least mine has a cassette deck and jack plugs.
Eurorack tape module? I want to know what it can do... off googlin'
Error instruments loopman 1. It can record and playback, at different speeds. You can use existing tapes with music, but also modified tapes with for example 8 sec loop. YouTube video and This video
TBF, the stereo speakers probably sound better and are certainly capable of being much louder than my phone speakers. But yeah, miles better in every other capacity.
You cannot fit three sets of headphones in your pocket without them fucking up your phone or your wallet.
You absolutely positively 100% cannot fit a VHS player inside your pocket.
And a boom box. Sure, phones can play music, but not at the same volume or quality as a dedicated stereo system (quality meaning the frequency response, phones just physically can't get the low end without a separate speaker)
I thought so too but remembered yesterday I was working at an office they were putting back together after remodeling, and noticed they were playing music off an iPhone and it was surprisingly loud.
Which speaker is that? I've been sort of on the lookout for a good compact speaker for a while
That's a good thing. You don't remember guys walking down the street, or getting on the subway, carrying a boom box on their shoulder, loudly blasting distorted music you don't care to hear.
Now they just pump it directly into their ears. Let them destroy their own hearing, not everyone else's. They make Bluetooth speakers if you need to broadcast your music to a group.
VHS tapes got so small they turned into little bits
The forgot the encyclopedia set and a couple thousand books and a few hundred video tapes.
I dont have a human being inside my pocket.
Wish I could (even excl the dude), but women's clothes and phone sizes don't match

And technically most of it would fit inside your butt. There just isn't a market for butt phones.
The Walkman and other tape players were so much superior to CD players for portability and convenience. Batteries lasted a lot longer for portable tape players than for CD players. Tapes could be remixed easily so you could bring a specific playlist (or 2 or 3) with you. Tapes were much more resilient than CDs. The superior audio quality of CDs didn't matter as much when you were using 1980's era headphones. Or, even if you were using a boombox, the spinning of a disc was still susceptible to bumps or movement causing skips, and the higher speed motor and more complex audio processing drained batteries much faster. And back then, rechargeable batteries weren't really a thing, so people were just burning through regular single use alkaline batteries.
It wasn't until the 90's that decent skip protection, a few generations of miniaturization and improved battery life, and improved headphones made portable CDs competitive with portable tapes.
At the same time, cars started to get CD players, but a typical person doesn't buy a new car every year, so it took a few years for the overall number of cars to start having a decent number of CD players.
Want to really feel old? It's been that way for around 20 years now.
Me, from the the future, explaining this meme to people in 1987: We developed new textiles that support giant pockets with incredible durability.
I'm fairly certain that 80's Joe Burrow can't fit in my pocket
Kinda miss having discrete tech devices to be honest. In the era of non-replaceable phone memory trying to juggle space to hold it all on one device sucks.
I'm more than 50% sure I briefly worked with this guy.
Even ignoring the joke with the dude fitting into your pocket, I cannot fit full over-ear cans I to my pocket... This is just lies.
There's no way I can fit this dude in there!
I prefer the things on the picture. Look how many cool gadgets you could have, now you're just computer user.
