Damn, they were painful to use. I remember having a sore finger after an hour of scrolling on my first ever phone. It was an LG Java phone.

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
