What are fun or productive things you can do from a phone?
a year ago by Like the wind... to c/asklemmy
Productive: Maps, check the stock market, read non fiction/Wikipedia, pay bills, translate voice or text written in a foreign language, use as a bike computer or GPS tracker, hail a ride/taxi, rent a bike, communicate with people.
Fun: Read books/comics, amateur photography/videography, puzzles, listen to music.
Purposefully left out apps that cause doomscrolling and addiction.
pay bills
I don't trust the phone browser anymore after I had it crash during a payment. The money was sent, but the token wasn't sent back to the website.
Thankfully we now have instant bank transfers, so the state of the browser doesn't matter.
Anyway, I still prefer to take out the laptop for serious stuff like payments.
Big purchases must happen on big screen.
Yes, addiction is not fun. Reddit is not fun and neither is using drugs.
look up gifs of how a human heart beats while your instructor tries their best to imitate it with their hands and a white board
I'd rather not.
!dailygames@lemmy.zip yeah they're fun
I feel like I've done everything a phone can do at this point
you could also use it as a blunt weapon
Yes, I was going to comment that they could smack a Nazi in the face with it.
Productivity:
Habit Maker (Open Source and from the Creator of lemmy)
Street Complete (Open Source, Easy Contributing and helping to update OSM-Data)
Turn it off and touch grass.
I'd rather ride past grass.
Audit your pics/videos if you don’t keep up with them and delete the ones you don’t need. I’ve been trying to trim them all down to free up storage space and then eventually back them up locally to a hard drive.
All of you who have commented until now - LIARS!
I know all of you dimwits are looking at naked people on your phone. That's your fun thing & then you produce "things" out of your body that you wipe off.
Not saying I don't do it, but you do it too.
Nah. I'm post menopausal. I don't want to see shit like that
I look at naked people but I don't produce anything. I just appreciate the artistic nudity of my favorite characters.
