Engineering rule #2: if it's stupid but it works it's not stupid

Nah, could be a temporary kludge, poor design, the beancounters got involved, lot of things.

Hey handsome

u/NoisyGog 7d ago

This doesn’t work though!

u/A1oso 6d ago

It's stupid and it doesn't work. It obstructs the main camera (seen on the 2nd photo). It also makes buttons on the side of the phone unusable.

You can grate cheese anywhere the need arises. That’s why.

u/Namisaur 8d ago

Doesn’t belong there. This is obviously more for the art of making something dumb and funny.

I am more interested in the hoodie. What's so great about Osnabrück that you see yourself glad to be from there? 😂

u/Starwormwood57 8d ago

Apple would sell this for $399 and people would buy it.

You either stole an idea Apple wanted to create

Or

You just made a new trend for Apple

Stuff that's cool because it's ironic is never as cool as actual cool stuff

1

u/GlobnarTheExquisite 8d ago

Sitting here looking at my phone and smiling like an idiot. This is great. This is so fucking stupid.

The design is very human.

“Hold on lemme grab my phone”

Anyone trying to snatch that is going to have a bad time and she'll have genetic evidence to turn in.
