@hchavers@jst1ofknd@shahnm I’m only creepy when I want to be, but considering I was creepy through my teen years without knowing it, when I do turn on the creep, it’s rocket powered.
Example: my buddy introduced me to his fiancée, and I was normal for most of the dinner before he brought up my talent. She said it couldn’t be that good. He quickly said I couldn’t speak, and I couldn’t touch her. I gave my stalker grin, and proceeded to take a good, long sniff of his hair, while keeping my eyes locked with hers. And that’s why I was uninvited from a wedding I was going to be a groomsman for. Probably would’ve been best man if he didn’t have a brother.
@shahnm I can’t stand browsing the internet on a mobile device. Using mobile webpages is like having a car with no steering wheel, gas pedal or radio. No thanks.
My phone is basically all of these. I watch more shows on my phone than on my 70’ TV, I play more games on my phone than every console combined, and my phone has a better processor than my crappy laptop. I tried a tablet, but it didn’t fit in my pocket, and I’m not carrying a purse/satchel everywhere just to have a bigger version of my phone.
I’M ADDICTED TO MY RADIO-LANTERN!!! IT’S PERFECT FOR MONITORING THE INVASION DURING BUG-OUTS!!! BE SURE TO PACK PLENTY OF BATTERIES!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW MANY OF YOU SHEEPLE ARE ADDICTED TO YOUR CELL PHONES!!! THAT’S HOW THEY TRACK YOU!!! I ONLY USE PAY PHONES, AND EVEN THEN I’M DISGUISED AND SHROUDED FROM EXTRATERRESTRIAL MONITORING!!!
HEY, IS IT JUST ME OR DOES TODAY’S MEH BUTTON LOOK LIKE MY BUDDY SEBASTIAN GORKA!!!
@AlexJones So Rachel, don’t you know that batteries are generally stored in the fridge (all the best paranoid maniacs are doing it these days), and that the fridge is an amplifier for rogue alien mind-control signals, and that by getting “plenty of batteries” you gave them full control of your (limited) mental faculties? It’s too late. They’ve got you now.
@Asviloka Yeah, I was going to say Laptop or Desktop. I was on my gaming laptop a lot, until I built a new desktop. Cell phone just for quick checks and short conversations. Game console for games that are exclusive to consoles (or just plain better on a console; there are some). Otherwise, most of my gadget time is spent on a PC of some sort.
Probably random web access (impulsive searches for bits of information); and to a lesser extent text-based chat programs, which is the stale bread that minimally meets my social caloric needs.
Aside from that, all told, if you destroyed my phone and all other interfaces to media, RSS feeds, TV, videogames, podcasts, I’d be basically fine, or more likely, happier and somewhat relieved. I could roll with paper maps.
I don’t have a cell phone and I rarely use my landline phone.
I only use my tablet when I travel, which is pretty rare
3)the only thing I watch on TV is Better Call Saul, and Steelers games. I have a Netflix subscription but will go months without watching anything.
I have never owned a game system
so, here we are. my desktop pc ? not really. but it’s about as close as we’re going to get, I guess.
Unfortunately the desktop computer - however since getting a new kitty who’s insanely interested in hunting the mouse, that computer time is far reduced
Beer Fridge
@TheGreatNico The main problem with that is that, after a while, it’s just a fridge.
Hic.
@shahnm By which I assume you mean “battery shrine”.
Fridge
@RdiPr Psst. Hey buddy. Wanna buy some batteries?
My phone through which I access this forum.
@jst1ofknd Do you put that phone in your pocket? Ewww
@hchavers
Yep. It goes with me everywhere… And so does the forum… And so, in a sense, do you because you are on the forum.
@hchavers @jst1ofknd That comment isn’t even a little bit creepy. Nope. Not creepy at all…
@hchavers @shahnm
I’ve been told before I am creepy…
@hchavers @jst1ofknd But in a good way, I’m sure…

Laptop.
My desktop computer. How very 90s of me…
@shahnm Ditto.
@shahnm Me, too.
@shahnm I can’t stand browsing the internet on a mobile device. Using mobile webpages is like having a car with no steering wheel, gas pedal or radio. No thanks.
@shahnm Same here! Phones are only a stopgap until I can get my PC fix.
My chief hobby is system administration, so one of the various systems I admin. (It is also my job, so my hobby pays the bills.)
My inhaler?
@rprebel There’s an App for that now
My Chromebooks, which really means the internet.
@mamawoot It’s just a doorway to and an enabler of your adiction. You can attend this support group every night.
My phone is number one, for now. I look forward to my next really smart watch.
I’m one of those millenials that’s always looking at their phone. And I don’t give a shit.
@cpierce I’m one of those GenX’ers that’s always staring at my phone. No shits given here either…
Definitely my refrigerator…
All the good stuff is in there.
@2many2no
/image batteries
The toilet with the power outlet right next to it.

@simplersimon
/giphy But… why?
@simplersimon me too. My husband gives me tons of crap about it too. Whatever.
@stinks because the TV is stuck in the living room. My phone is not.
I don’t know how I survived, before I had my phone.

But how will we tell the difference?!?
Why is ‘laptop computer’ not considered a device? I’m on my laptop pretty much all the time.
But, in absence of actual computers, I’ma say. . . Kindle.

My computers of course
@Eskieguy but of course
Not addicted to any of them but I prob spend more time on laptop than the others.
Cocktail shaker
Most likely my PC. It’s what I do pretty much everything from when I’m at home.
PC for sure, I don’t use my phone much and I don’t have cable. Everything I do is through the PC usually.
an interesting poll, as

Why is PC not on the list? It’s clearly the most important device.
@Dweezle To provoke a response.
