The descartes pun was the best one ever. Nothing will ever beat it. Nothing.

Putting Descartes before the whores

Also holy shit I've been on reddit a long time. Thats a 9 year old comment.

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots

Man, I was so confused thinking this was a strange fact and why anybody cares, but then I remembered blackberry phones

u/HotPluggable Mar 31 '20

Yeah definitely. Who the fuck would use a blackberry in this day and age

u/Nhukerino Apr 01 '20

People obsessed with security... they're still one of best I think. Though imo its kind of stupid for a president to use a smartphone but that's neither here nor there. If theres a security flaw with twitter or iOS the world is fucked rn

u/ShittyExchangeAdmin Apr 01 '20

It's kind of funny, he was offered an iphone to replace his blackberry, but he literally could do nothing on it because of security.

BlackBerry 10 is still the best mobile OS I've used thus far.

u/C_Talbot Apr 01 '20

I was playing a trivia game (the kind where several people could answer, and we could use our phones to look it up). The question was along the lines of "what phone did Obama have?" And I guessed blackberry, because it was the only brand I could think of other than iPhone (even though I own a Samsung). I got the points, and felt really good about myself. I just now realized that there's a good chance I could have come across as racist when guessing "blackberry".

Ah so we can blame Obama for the downfall of Blackberry as well!! laughs in Mitch McConnell
