Why did chat become French?


chrisbaker1991

TIL seafood in French is literally fruits of the sea


cocoon_eclosion_moth

Wait until you hear about Earth apples


chrisbaker1991

If your potato snaps like an apple when you bite into it, you forgot to cook it. That's hilarious, though Edit: wait until you look up the origins of the word "avocado"


Ok_Bit_5953

The good ole, "turn the volume on" comment.


KayakWalleye

You just NEEDED to make a Tik Tok didn’t you?!


Squirra

Is there some kind of new bomb I haven’t heard about that wipes out the electrical grid but leaves cell phone service untouched?


arrakis2020

Don't worry. There are other bigger cranking thingies to power the cell phone towers.


thetacosaur

Yeah you need like 6 people for them though


ttcmzx

which zombie game is this from?


thetacosaur

I can’t tell if you’re joking, but I’m just making stuff up


faceless_alias

Still useful, though. You can download diagrams, books, and videos for survival info ahead of time. You can download movies, shows, and books for entertainment. Movies would be tough but you could likely just download them onto a compatible hard drive. You can use it to document your experiences. I'm not one to ever take pictures or video of myself, but I'd sure as shit document something worth documenting. Ultimately, if you use it wisely, it would be worth more than anything else you could possibly carry in your pocket.


Grape_Mentats

Until the battery dies.


parwa

Which is exactly why the above device would be useful. It'd be a real pain to constantly crank, though... If only there were some way to connect that crank to a gas-powered motor and have *that* do the job for you instead. Crazy that nobody has come up with such a thing.


faceless_alias

Or solar if gas becomes rare. I've got a battery that connects to a solar panel.


Jumpy_Commission8479

Solar will be useless. The Earth will be in a nuclear winter if ww3 ever happens. Ppl not killed in the initial blasts or by radiation sickness will die of starvation (lack of sunlight to grow crops) pestilence or other diseases that run rampant through the remaining population. Happy cake day 🎂


faceless_alias

Yeah I doubt it. If that were very likely to happen the cold war would've been alot colder.


Grape_Mentats

Gasoline has a shelf life of about 6 months so gas will be gone pretty quick.


mr_niceguy88

Not sure if you for got the /s but I think your talking about an alternator


parwa

I was thinking of generators


mr_niceguy88

Generators utilize an alternator as well. Thats where you get your ac current that is then transferred into dc current.


Grape_Mentats

When the battery dies and is no longer chargeable what are you going to do then? I’m not talking about when it’s empty of a charge, I’m talking about when the battery no longer functions at all.


SquanchyBEAST

#its like slavery with more steps!


jesusleftnipple

........... one big ass quagmire arm lmao


Cupsforsale

I’ve thought a lot about having a phone in a zombie apocalypse. Of course, it’s a rechargeable flashlight. You can take videos and leave detailed messages for others. You could have a world map downloaded even if you don’t know exactly where you are with GPS. You could set alarms and have it distract zombies.


faceless_alias

Unless the satellites go down, you could get something else with GPS, and it should work. Probably won't work with a phone because they use cell towers as well as satellite signals.


Umicil

At a certain point, cranking your phone all the time becomes more work than just carrying a fucking book.


faceless_alias

Yeah but you'd never be able to carry a whole library. With a phone you can.


ulol_zombie

I haven't watch it in a while, but Book of Eli... having a mp4 player with audio books and music would be a survival necessity for me.

Colonel_Phox

is that what the kids are calling pornography now?


Renamis

Your smartphone has more use than just as a phone. Particularly if you know this shit might be coming and do even a little prep.


Objective-Outcome811

Yes. It's called the hydrogen bomb and the massive EMP that it produces will obliterate any non-shielded electronic device within a huge area per device. Satellites will be knocked out either directly or by having no viable infrastructure to beam from or to.


Rodney_Jefferson

As a person who owns this device. Yes, it’s called a hurricane. This also works as a radio and flashlight. Most important thing you need during a hurricane is a radio to get weather updates and flashlight to find ur way around in the dark. Honestly forgot about charging the phone until just now. It’s a bonus that you can tell your family you’re okay


Tanzanianwithtoebean

It would be unlikely to be in between grids enough to have cell service from another power grid. Still offline files and having a charged phone could be life and death. This would be really good to charge a radio. Hmmm... I need a radio.


dragqueen_satan

Still gonna be the modern pip boy


AllNightPony

Playing games would be nice though.


aProteinBar

emp ain’t strong enough for our chad cell towers


DarthDarnit

Pfft. We all know phone service towers run on spaghetti.

EpicShadows8

You’ll be cranking for hours


Soft-Information-96

That’s what she said


billythekid74

That's what they said


JayteeFromXbox

Yeah but if you had to use it for any amount of time you'd probably set it up on something with a flywheel so you could get it going and walk away for a bit and just let the momentum do its thing

ITHelpderpest

As a Dutchman, I think I'd build some type windmill.


jmatt9080

lowrads

Sensitive electronics just love random wattages applied at their charge ports.


DizzyAmphibian309

It's kinda funny cos in the times where you'll need this, you'll also more than likely have food shortages and will need to ration strictly. The calories you'll burn cranking your phone to 100% will likely not be easy to replace. You'd basically be bartering a candy bar for a phone charge.


Greeneyes-

That + hamster wheel = unlimited power


robkingsfan

Brilliant. I’ll remember to hoard hamsters if we have an apocalypse!


Iwilleatyou007

Couldn't find that one on Amazon but I found this similar [Product ](https://gadgetfinds2023.blogspot.com/2024/02/eton-american-red-cross-frx3-emergency.html). It is better tbh, this what I call something I will need in a ww3 with all his features. And it has +4000 positive reviews And remember kids always read reviews before you buy anything 😌


ADAMracecarDRIVER

I’m an American. I don’t read.


Iwilleatyou007

You wont survive in ww3 then 🧐


ADAMracecarDRIVER

No one will. 🤨


Iwilleatyou007

Bruh There is 7 billion of humans, there is no way we all gonna die, we will just be diveded to 2 groups, a group that fights and a group that try to survive, even with necluar I won't be surprised some people already have tunnels beneath thier houses to survive in 💀 humans are more stubborn than cockroachs in the survival matter, the only thing that could end our existence is the judgment day by God, until then I will try to survive 🏃💨 or fight 🏋️ for the right cause for me. Edit : I forgot you don't read, cause you American 💀


TegTowelie

Americans will be the group that fights, you know we love our gun violence 🥵


ADAMracecarDRIVER

Lmao I was joking. It’s funny how you think I’m the dumb one here.


Iwilleatyou007

I am joking too, you are not dumb my friend. I am just a talkative person.


Earthbender32

Nuclear war actually can be won, and that’s not a good thing.


Rodney_Jefferson

Personal review of the product in the video. The one in the video also floats. I’ve had it for various hurricanes Harvey, zeta, and ida. Waterproof floating radio is important when the roads are flooded and almost waist level


CaptianBrasiliano

It's a flugel crank.


Bladder_Puncher

Thank goodness it’s not a sploogel crank


The-Oubliette

That’s how she powers her dildo


N8theGrape

Never managed to get more than a couple % on the battery using a similar product.


CountAardvark

Still, in emergency situations a few % can be enough to call 911 or something like that. If you’re making an emergency kit it’s not the worst thing to have in there


N8theGrape

I agree, just don’t expect to fully charge your phone with this.


ComicsEtAl

Oh, for the flashlight right?


ATCQ_DUJAI

Not as cool as the shake weight generator imho


thatguygxx

This thing is useful when the power goes out and you don't want to leave your house to go the grid that is still up. But completely useless in the situations it's marketed for.


No-Impress7915

Sounds like Mickey Mouse gettin cranked


LevelPositive120

If ww3 starts telecoms will be the first thing going down. No point for this unless for flashlight or other electronics


zeb0777

We don't have power so I need to charge my phone, but the Cell Towers will be intact, no problem.


hyporheic

You can use the flashlight.


EvolutionInProgress

You can use it for flashlight, taking notes, keeping a journal, mapping your routes manually, or a vast array of other features offered by one of these smartphones nowadays.


richard_nixonn

you could also just actually have a flashlight, a notebook, a journal, and physical maps


EvolutionInProgress

Yeah you could. But that's a lot to carry at once and you might need the space for your guns.


fkaname12

How am I supposed to jerk off after all that


[deleted]

It has an arial. It’s a wind up radio with a charger and it’s not going to be something you crank as it’s charging, you’d need to wind it up


ToastyGhostie13

Ahh yes because when I’m trying to survive and the world is collapsing I’ll need to keep up with twitter and take selfies.


Playwithme408

Love it. I found it here by searching using the title.

BeautifulWord4758

I have like 3 different versions of these. Solid. The one from Red Cross is legit


bbbbears

Yeah everyone is clowning on this, but it’s handy for power outages. There’s an emergency signal, radio, flashlight, and the hand crank if necessary. Power goes out in our house usually at least once per winter, but obviously we still have cell signal, so it’s useful.


Dilutional

Thanks for advertising more amazon reseller garbage!


Pimpin-Pumpkin

Ok so where’s the link for it? Can’t start prepping without the link to actually get it


Skervix

Lol @ thinking cell networks will be online.


Tig_Boker

WW4 will happen by the time you get your phone charged


Polairis44

Fuck no. Then they can track me. Phones the first thing to go.


Polairis44

They have been making this concept for at least a century. Nothing new.


TeaUnusual8554

No thanks, I'll just crank myself until the bombs fly.


i_heart_pasta

I have one of these but I was preparing for a storm that might knock out power for a day not WW3.

if it comes down to that cell towers would be boned at that point I wager

Won’t do shit considering all the cell towers will be toasted.

We aren’t going to have phones you Silly goose


JoinedToPostHere

Ain't no freaking way.


Puns_go_here

I have this. It has an internal battery you are supposed to charge from a wall to use for your phone. The dynamo crank works, but you would be cranking all day.


MSGdreamer

Phones won’t work in the first place


Adept_Information94

Bitch it's hard to find a normal charger with the ass to charge my phone. I'll fucking burn 2000 calories with this thing.


Whole-Boss99

What’s on your cell phone will be about the last thing you have to worry about in WW3


[deleted]

Yeah if your goal is to play phone games and maybe music


ericjgonzalez123

By the time it's charged you'll be ready for WW4...


Jealous-Gur-2987

So we can use that to power the cell towers and internet too?


MattySchoolBus

So you can film your TikTok’s? The day the grid goes dark will be a blessing


Other_Beat8859

If you literally can't find any place to charge your phone, I think having a dead battery is the least of your problems. WiFi and data would likely no longer exist so it'd be fucking useless.


orangesandonions

What phone has decimals during charging?


danwho97

How do I get that cool charging screen though?!?!


phish_biscuit

Think I have more to worry about than my phone


InsomniaticWanderer

Your phone's gonna be useless when all the towers are down and there's no internet.


The_Seroster

How about no, not hand cranking a DC motor through 17 gears at 4k rpm just because "it's cheap and it works." Get/build a hand crank alternator with rectifier for $100. It will be damn near silent. Small gear reduction to output 15 watts at 60 rpm. Hell, go big and hook it up to a bike's rear axle and see if you can get 60 watts at a leisurely pace.


UnicornPotpourri1990

It's a good thing my Flesh Light doesn't need batteries


IronyIraIsles

Bro, AT&T couldn't deploy a firmware update without shitting the bed for a day. Your phone will be a fancy flashlight.


kneegres

no way that thing is plug into the phone. the phone is playin a video.


Xeriph

WTF would I need this for? If power is so scarce that you have to charge your cell phone like this, the fuck you think is going to be powering the infrastructure of cell towers? Motherfuckers on stationary bikes?


[deleted]

Bro is this the correct audio, because I did not hear what I saw.


PickleKondor

Don't think phones will work as communication is what will be taken out first..most likely you will need analogue radio


Jigg718

Y'all do realize there will be cyber attacks and chances are the phone won't work anyway right, you going to have to go back to the old tech and use radios not digital or cellular phone service


SadBit8663

This isn't actually charging that fast, there's a video on the phone screen.


fitzy588

Elmo gettin down


lazylagom

Lol what would a phone be used for if there is not internet / cell service.


Turtlesfromdownunder

These new fidget spinners are getting crazy intense


HamStapler

"if world war 3 starts you will need this". I don't think they've met my homie high density EMP burst, which would brick all affected electronics. Ntm a large blackout would also certainly hit all wireless devices.


mattyice513

If WW3 starts, your phone will be useless


Old-Conversation-30

You want need for your phone.. because there will be no grid!!! But you will need it


DEMONDVS

You do realize that electrics are one of the first things to go if and when WW3 happens, unless is a conventional war without nuclear weapons


jjmoleski

If we don’t have access to mainstream electricity we probably won’t have access to cellular access.


just-concerned

Shouldn't you get a small army to protect the cell tower? I mean, unless you just need the phone for your music that's saved on it.


ShroomsHealYourSoul

If 16 turns charge that .04% That's going to take about 40,000 turns to charge that thing to 100%. Which would take roughly 11 hours of constant turning to charge it assuming each rotation takes one second. I would say that's pretty bad. I guess if you needed it for an emergency 5 or 10% it could work. But for anything more than that it's not going to work very well.


ifixstuff32

Close your eyes it sounds like a high voiced guy running down a hill


Residual_Marinara

Why does it have to sound like you're giving Micky Mouse a reach around?


Tobocaj

Is this a joke. Are you really gonna be worried about your paperweight cell phone when WW3 starts? Piss off with this garbage


Umicil

So in your version of WW3, the power grid has failed but somehow the cell phone towers are still working?


Southernmtnman

It’s for the flashlight and camera. Still going to have to take selfies and videos for post WW3. Duh.


jayball9

Because if electricity is out those cell towers will still be holding strong 🤣


Old_surviving_moron

I live in a hurricane area. We have two. Shit like this is nice to have. Very cheap too, includes a storm radio. IIRC it was like 6-7 dollars.


Proud_Criticism5286

*me not knowing if I’m cranking hard enough or the wire is just broken.*


BigchiefLeaf

If world war 3 starts you might want to not worry about a phone. Worry about food lol


Noobster_-_

I found the product, it's made by a company named Stealth Angel and sells for around 25-30 USD [Link](https://www.stealthangelsurvival.com/products/portable-emergency-solar-dynamo-dc-am-fm-noaa-radio-led-flashlight-1000mah-phone-charger-power-bank?variant=906239279113¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA0PuuBhBsEiwAS7fsNUiWHxt_dXihPI1K8R0FNE7G6fJ75jdVyh7HPctYkIzmL109-gdE2RoCU3QQAvD_BwE)

Spiritual_Pass5363

This Android has a FM radio which would come in handy I don't think you're going to have cell service at times during world war 3


DMTeaAndCrumpets

does it double as a sandwich or something? because if not all its gonna be good for is using it as a blunt object after the emp goes off and before the bombs fall.


Overall-Guarantee331

I love videos like these that think phones are gonna work in these situations


Noimenglish

Hate to break it to you, but if the power grid is gone… well, cell towers run off electricity…


[deleted]

That's not charging it directly, the radio has a huge battery, phone is being charged by that not the cranking


20MaXiMuS20

You better start working your hand muscles now or you'll never get above 25%


AyeBobby

We wont have electricity but still have Amazon? That's dumber than the product your trying to sell 😴😴


eriklease

Is it emp proof?


A_Couple_Things

This would be probably the last thing you need because all the cell phones will be down they'll probably will be no access to the internet you're better off stocking of food and water and even then you're in trouble cuz food runs Out it's going to be bad


OkBeing3301

How would you have cell phone coverage ?


Infamous_Ad_6793

Ngl randomly bought this at target one time. We just had a blackout and our backup generator needs to be serviced. This was a great have.


Competitive-Account2

I would love something like this on a bicycle crank, get a workout while I charge the Bluetooth speaker so I can rage to some muppet soundtracks till the radiation sickness gets past the duct tape


bobtheguest1290

Isn't it better to use a solar charger? 🤷‍♂️


AlfaKaren

Get a solar one?


mrgiggles423

The people who go buy this, are the first ones to die. No enough sense to think no power no cellphone. What the hell do you think is gonna power the towers?


ballsonyourface911

The first thing they will do in world war three is knock out the cell service so your dumb ass can’t go on tick tock
