BREAKING:
Clacky has been missing for six hours.
Unfortunately, he has no GPS, Find My Phone, location history or internet connection.
Fortunately, he was exactly where we left him.
Charging was unnecessary.
DUMB PHONE GANG RULES
If it’s urgent, call.
If it isn’t urgent, forget it.
Never trust a phone requiring your face.
One bar is still a bar.
Snake counts as software.
Battery percentage is generational wealth.
Membership approved.
Your smartphone protects your privacy with:
• Face recognition
• Encrypted clouds
• Tracking permissions
• 47-page policies
Clacky protects your privacy by forgetting everything immediately.
No data.
No memory.
No idea what is happening.
Military-grade incompetence.
Everyone walked past looking down.
Clacky sat there looking at nothing.
Nothing looked back.
It was the best conversation either of them had all week.
#DUMBPHONEGANG
Clacky was added to a group chat at 9:04 AM.
He replied “OK” at 6:37 PM.
Nobody knows what he agreed to.
He has since left the group, although possibly by accident.
