A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I have broken zero phones and lost exactly zero phones in drains
Can somebody confirm this is a concern? Is it an alcoholism thing?
I think it's a going out and doing things to have fun thing.
I never considered throwing my phone in a sewer could be entertaining. I may have to rethink my position.
Join your local Sewer Phone Club! It's a blast.
I lose my parts phones often (and usually find them in unusual places). But I never lost a thing I actually used semi-often.
But I do drop phones all the time (I also dropped my Redmi's bare motherboard ~2 times while repairing it (somehow it survived without problems)). I cracked one screen glass on a Samsung a12 last year (a really shitty phone), it's still fully functional (but not mine anymore). I also cracked an LCD of a Huawei P20 lite (which I would probably still be using if it was in a working condition). Now I use a Redmi 4X. It was old when I got it and survives literally everything (except any mild motherboard temperature changes (weirdly)). I'm not replacing it until it's irreparable since I can't take care of stuff.
Edit: Also had a Mi 11 Lite 5G with severe motherboard problems, which isn't important in this context. Fuck the new Xiaomis.
There's no reason it wouldn't lmao, a falling phone board has both tiny weight and shitty aerodynamics.
But also no protection whatsoever. I'm not that optimistic about it.
Throw it against a wall next time and see
