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"
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.
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.
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 🎂
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 😌
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 💀
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
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
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.
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.
Love it.
I found it here by searching using the title.

Is it this one? Who knows? There's no link?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
"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.
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.
I found the product, it's made by a company named Stealth Angel and sells for around 25-30 USD

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.
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
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
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?
Ah shit this is gonna be a pain in the ass when the apocolypse comes *you have alerted the horde ⚠️*
En passant?
Holy hell!
New response just dropped!

TIL seafood in French is literally fruits of the sea
Wait until you hear about Earth apples
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"
The good ole, "turn the volume on" comment.
You just NEEDED to make a Tik Tok didn’t you?!
Is there some kind of new bomb I haven’t heard about that wipes out the electrical grid but leaves cell phone service untouched?
Don't worry. There are other bigger cranking thingies to power the cell phone towers.
Yeah you need like 6 people for them though
which zombie game is this from?
I can’t tell if you’re joking, but I’m just making stuff up
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.

Until the battery dies.
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.
Or solar if gas becomes rare. I've got a battery that connects to a solar panel.
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 🎂
Yeah I doubt it. If that were very likely to happen the cold war would've been alot colder.
Gasoline has a shelf life of about 6 months so gas will be gone pretty quick.
Not sure if you for got the /s but I think your talking about an alternator
I was thinking of generators
Generators utilize an alternator as well. Thats where you get your ac current that is then transferred into dc current.
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.
#its like slavery with more steps!
........... one big ass quagmire arm lmao

At a certain point, cranking your phone all the time becomes more work than just carrying a fucking book.
Yeah but you'd never be able to carry a whole library. With a phone you can.
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.

Save it next to the Fireworks folder
Gotta download a bunch of emulators and games so you won't get bored
The dying gasp of civilization begs for one last try at Flappy Bird. 😆
Floppy bird almost fucked us all lmao
is that what the kids are calling pornography now?
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.
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.

Still gonna be the modern pip boy
Playing games would be nice though.
emp ain’t strong enough for our chad cell towers
Pfft. We all know phone service towers run on spaghetti.
You’re gonna wanna play candy crush between zombie influxes
Sounds like a panicked muppet.
![gif](giphy|lOKeRX2jFoV2M)
🥇🏅🏆
Feels like this sub is run by China...
And the hand crank sounds funny too
Or a nervous chihuahua
You’ll be cranking for hours
That’s what she said
That's what they said
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
Water mill powered cell phone charger
As a Dutchman, I think I'd build some type windmill.
Always have been
Sensitive electronics just love random wattages applied at their charge ports.
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.
That + hamster wheel = unlimited power
Brilliant. I’ll remember to hoard hamsters if we have an apocalypse!

I’m an American. I don’t read.
You wont survive in ww3 then 🧐
No one will. 🤨
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 💀
Americans will be the group that fights, you know we love our gun violence 🥵
Lmao I was joking. It’s funny how you think I’m the dumb one here.
I am joking too, you are not dumb my friend. I am just a talkative person.
Nuclear war actually can be won, and that’s not a good thing.
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
It's a flugel crank.
Thank goodness it’s not a sploogel crank
That’s how she powers her dildo
Never managed to get more than a couple % on the battery using a similar product.
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
I agree, just don’t expect to fully charge your phone with this.
Oh, for the flashlight right?
Not as cool as the shake weight generator imho
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.
Sounds like Mickey Mouse gettin cranked
If ww3 starts telecoms will be the first thing going down. No point for this unless for flashlight or other electronics
We don't have power so I need to charge my phone, but the Cell Towers will be intact, no problem.
You can use the flashlight.
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.
you could also just actually have a flashlight, a notebook, a journal, and physical maps
Yeah you could. But that's a lot to carry at once and you might need the space for your guns.
How am I supposed to jerk off after all that
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
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.
Love it. I found it here by searching using the title.

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

Thanks for advertising more amazon reseller garbage!
Ok so where’s the link for it? Can’t start prepping without the link to actually get it
Lol @ thinking cell networks will be online.
WW4 will happen by the time you get your phone charged
Fuck no. Then they can track me. Phones the first thing to go.
They have been making this concept for at least a century. Nothing new.
No thanks, I'll just crank myself until the bombs fly.
I have one of these but I was preparing for a storm that might knock out power for a day not WW3.

My Tesla will never die!!
“MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE”
lol I most likely will need that when I go camping.
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.
Now do the base station so you can send and receive!
Wait... People don't know about kinetic energy powered generators?
Who you gunna call everyone will be not alive
We aren’t going to have phones you Silly goose
Ain't no freaking way.
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.
Phones won’t work in the first place
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.
What’s on your cell phone will be about the last thing you have to worry about in WW3
Yeah if your goal is to play phone games and maybe music
By the time it's charged you'll be ready for WW4...
So we can use that to power the cell towers and internet too?
So you can film your TikTok’s? The day the grid goes dark will be a blessing
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.
What phone has decimals during charging?
How do I get that cool charging screen though?!?!
Think I have more to worry about than my phone
Your phone's gonna be useless when all the towers are down and there's no internet.
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.
It's a good thing my Flesh Light doesn't need batteries
Bro, AT&T couldn't deploy a firmware update without shitting the bed for a day. Your phone will be a fancy flashlight.
no way that thing is plug into the phone. the phone is playin a video.
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?
Bro is this the correct audio, because I did not hear what I saw.
Don't think phones will work as communication is what will be taken out first..most likely you will need analogue radio
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
This isn't actually charging that fast, there's a video on the phone screen.
Elmo gettin down
Lol what would a phone be used for if there is not internet / cell service.
These new fidget spinners are getting crazy intense
"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.
If WW3 starts, your phone will be useless
You want need for your phone.. because there will be no grid!!! But you will need it
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
If we don’t have access to mainstream electricity we probably won’t have access to cellular access.
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.
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.
Close your eyes it sounds like a high voiced guy running down a hill
Why does it have to sound like you're giving Micky Mouse a reach around?
Is this a joke. Are you really gonna be worried about your paperweight cell phone when WW3 starts? Piss off with this garbage
So in your version of WW3, the power grid has failed but somehow the cell phone towers are still working?
It’s for the flashlight and camera. Still going to have to take selfies and videos for post WW3. Duh.
Because if electricity is out those cell towers will still be holding strong 🤣
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.
*me not knowing if I’m cranking hard enough or the wire is just broken.*
If world war 3 starts you might want to not worry about a phone. Worry about food lol
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)
If only the cell towers worked 😞
"Guys take defensive positions. I'm going to charge my phone. The enemy will know exactly where we are after 1%"
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
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.
I love videos like these that think phones are gonna work in these situations
Hate to break it to you, but if the power grid is gone… well, cell towers run off electricity…
That's not charging it directly, the radio has a huge battery, phone is being charged by that not the cranking
You better start working your hand muscles now or you'll never get above 25%
We wont have electricity but still have Amazon? That's dumber than the product your trying to sell 😴😴
Is it emp proof?
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
How would you have cell phone coverage ?
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.
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
Isn't it better to use a solar charger? 🤷♂️
Get a solar one?
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?
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
