I'm currently stuck living with my mom till I get a better job (hopefully 🙏) and honestly, I was happy when she got a new BF cuz getting laid puts her in a WAY better mood.

She's not getting drunk on wine and trauma dumping about her ex to me every other night.

Tell your mom I said congrats on the sex.

Any yank(I assume its US country code) tried calling the number(555 8126) on the matchbook?

[–] frosty99c@midwest.social 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

555 was specifically set aside as a fake area code. It's used a lot in cartoons/TV/movies and is known that it won't work for anything.

area code

555 is the part of the number called the prefix

[–] frosty99c@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good catch! I didn't know that's what it was called. Having just looked it up, 555 as an area code and as a prefix are both not in use in the US, other than for directory assistance.

Is there some technical reason why it doesn't work, or is it just... never assigned?

[–] frosty99c@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

They are just never assigned. I thought they were specifically set aside to be used in fiction, but it seems like that might have just been 555-01XX. But because of the association to that, no one ever wanted a 555 number for anything else and now they are all unused except for 1 number that leads to 'directory assistance'

Then came along Tommy Tutone and fucked a whole host of phones for a good part of 30+ years.

When we'd first get calls at 2 or 3 in the morning, my husband would answer the phone. He can't hear too well. They'd ask for Jenny, and he'd say "Jimmy doesn't live here any more." ... Tommy Tutone was the one who had the record. I'd like to get hold of his neck and choke him. — Lorene Burns, an Alabama householder formerly at +1-205-867-5309; she changed her number in 1982

I love how Kelly put himself in as Men-About-Town

So-called self-reliant kids when it's breakfast time (11:39am):

[–] Firstnamebunchofnumbers@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This ones just sad

And a bit misogynistic. Not that Kelly has great views on women, but this one feels a bit worse.
