Great. The “Too cheap to upgrade bundle.” Thanks again for reminding me that my current situation doesn’t allow me to become a voracious consumer, willing and able to spend ONE FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS on the latest phone technology that won’t make my life even one iota better or worse than it is now, but would definitely allow me to do my part to hasten the demise of the only habitable planet that we as humans can access.
@hotrodder@jmbunkin I am with @hotrodder. Bean counters took over, instituted a higher price point -> some nonsense justification based on more expensive features + marketing to convince you that you want it. Infinite revenue growth forever.
… You’re saying that women don’t line up to hear angry rants about consumerism and the corruptive pressures intrinsic in human nature that are leading us surely into an inescapable darkness?
@luv4stephen@warpedrotors It also looks like it was thawed out while in a vertical orientation, and it is too big for that box. The delivery guy appears to be hiding a pony tail.

@phendrick Yeah, I would like to know this too…it’s kinda worth it if I get 4 of those, but if there’s only two, then I’m not gonna buy the whole bundle of junk just for them, since those are all I’m interested in.
I like those little chargers – handy to carry (I’ve used mine several times for my smart watch, which always seems to go dead when I’m not watching) and the flashlight is also convenient.
So I’m in. Rest of the stuff is fodder for garage sales.
Still have two VMPBRIBE codes so this would sorta be “free” using one of those… but it is worth less than free since I’d have to push something more valuable out of the already full hoard closet.
@thechinglish 3 of those coupons were given to Casemate Kickstarter members at certain levels.
But that was quite a while ago and I am surprised that @RedOak still has two!
I really wish I could be a fly on the wall in the Meh buyers’ room, sometimes. Like when they decide to buy roughly 1000 iPhone 6 cases for no adequately‐justifiable reason.
I’m not cheap enough for this bundle. My phone is one of those new fangled USB-C contraptions without a headphone jack, so everything in this bundle is useless to me. Except the lenses, but I stupidly already bought a similar set from morningsave.
@Oneroundrobb Odds are then that your phone’s camera has much higher resolution, and a decent optical zoom, meaning these lenses would turn the otherwise reasonably decent photos your phone takes into a blurry vignetted mess with plenty of chromatic aberration for good measure.
Ha! I still have a 6 (only went from 4 to 5 to 6 to get bigger screen and I’d do it again if I could get a Pixel-sized screen and don’t @me about switching to Android). And my daughter has/had a 6 but she liked to keep it in back pocket and it went into toilet and freshly bricked. Sigh.
Every time I see JIT in this conversation, I get flashbacks from my programming days. JIT means Just In Time. Used for programming languages that are compiled at runtime like Java.
I’d buy it for the chargers, but the rest of the stuff is just junk. I know I had the lenses fall apart on me when I took them out of the box to test them! And I have an iphone7…so the case would be trash. And…umm yeah. Hard pass thanks, but no thanks.

Get a charge out of this bundle
I too still have an SE. So this bundle is almost worthless to me.
@Pat4ever I have a 6S. In spite of the case likely fitting my phone, this bundle is essentially worthless to me too.
/giphy nearly worthless tripe
You call an iphone 6 old? My husband and I have those. The kids have a 5 and a 4. Their friends make fun of them.
@sammydog01 it’s good for them - builds character.
Just when you think the Saturday bundles cannot possibly get worse, Meh doesn’t let you down and proves you wrong.
@cengland0 you know you just gave Meh a new challenge. God help us all!
@cengland0 @hchavers I can’t wait for next Saturday’s bundle, Literally Just A Pound Of Asbestos.
@TheMeerkat
@narfcake It’s okay, they’re safety gloves.
@cengland0 Never get discouraged, Meh will never let us down on Saturdays.
@cengland0 @wrallredsr No, they will find bigger and better ways to let us down 1/2 step at a time.
Those lenses not only don’t fit my phone, but they’re also pretty much worthless.
Junk Bundle

I guess I’ll pass on todays deal.
Edit. Sorry about the rant. I need to get laid.
@hotrodder With your outlook on life I’m surprised the ladies aren’t lined up at your door

I mean, I guess…
I’ll just donate the case. And the lenses. And half of the chargers. Why did I buy this again?
/giphy gauche-sweaty-skate
@sammydog01 It’s not too late to cancel!
Not sure what I will do with a case for a phone I will never buy, but I can find uses for everything else.
/buy
@JT954 It worked! Your order number is: obnoxious-wrenching-baseball
/image obnoxious wrenching baseball
Maybe for $1.00? Nope.
@davidd13 not even… i’d pay somebody $1 to take it.
It’s an appealing bundle of worthless junk, but I bought a pizza today.
/image pizza delivery pepperoni
@eonfifty That pizza looks delicious.
@eonfifty @luv4stephen It looks like it was a frozen pizza, and I don’t trust that goon holding it.
@luv4stephen @warpedrotors It also looks like it was thawed out while in a vertical orientation, and it is too big for that box. The delivery guy appears to be hiding a pony tail.

Already upgraded to a phone with USB-C and a good camera… so that’ll be a pass
Which is it, 2 or 4?
Write-up says 4 of the JIT chargers, but

@phendrick @dweezie thanks the notice – you get 4 JIT Chargers
@Dweezle @phendrick I think, after looking at the pics, it’s 2 chargers for iPhones and 2 chargers for Androids.

I thought about joke Christmas presents (like a white elaphant gifts), but they need to be funny.
I like those little chargers – handy to carry (I’ve used mine several times for my smart watch, which always seems to go dead when I’m not watching) and the flashlight is also convenient.
So I’m in. Rest of the stuff is fodder for garage sales.
@phendrick
/giphy I see what you did there
Awww. A little bundle of oy.
nothin’ a 5hp commercial meat grinder couldn’t handle…
@alacrity True, but won’t that make the margarita kinda crunchy?
so, basically a pile of shit that would be of no interest to a person who does not own a cell phone.
noted.
Still have two VMPBRIBE codes so this would sorta be “free” using one of those… but it is worth less than free since I’d have to push something more valuable out of the already full hoard closet.
@RedOak ehm what’rethose?
@thechinglish 3 of those coupons were given to Casemate Kickstarter members at certain levels.
But that was quite a while ago and I am surprised that @RedOak still has two!
@mfladd @thechinglish … and I was on the fence using the first of the three codes!
Bring back the JBL Mini speaker dock (not the Micro - already have two of those) and I’d order twice to use up the last two codes.
Sorry, I’m too cheap to do Apple. So when is the “double cheap” android stash going to be offered?
@eeterrific I think this is it. I mean, what case could you offer that’s “archetypal obsolete android case”?
Let’s ask giphy.
/giphy archetypal obsolete android case
I really wish I could be a fly on the wall in the Meh buyers’ room, sometimes. Like when they decide to buy roughly 1000 iPhone 6 cases for no adequately‐justifiable reason.
@TheMeerkat
I’m guessing Meh suppliers also offer sucker-Fukos… they’re simply bigger volume than the Meh-Fukos.
@RedOak Honestly, Mediocre should just buy‐out 1‒800‒GOT‒JUNK. Let people pay them to get garbage to sell.
@TheMeerkat I’m guessing they paid about 2,500 pennies for them.
Those JIT charters are so hilarious, I bought two - totally worth it.

Every time I see JIT in this conversation, I get flashbacks from my programming days. JIT means Just In Time. Used for programming languages that are compiled at runtime like Java.
I bought those lenses from woot about 3 years ago.
Pure Garbage! They don’t work at all unless you’re going for the blurry worse than the phones zoom look
@msujp Thanks,that’s exactly what I’m going for
Um, yeah - I have a Samsung flip phone.
I win.
@DennisG2014 Do you?
Do you really?
@TheMeerkat The contest for too-cheap-to-upgrade?
I think so, unless someone else is using something more than ~15 years old, yeah.
Although, it’s not really about cheapness… or not just that, anyway.
edit: tried to figure out how long I’ve had this phone - might only be ~10 years.
I’d buy it for the chargers, but the rest of the stuff is just junk. I know I had the lenses fall apart on me when I took them out of the box to test them! And I have an iphone7…so the case would be trash. And…umm yeah. Hard pass thanks, but no thanks.
Will I be actually downgrading with this bundle? I wonder!
