You see, that's why OP always carries a second phone: To photograph the first one not falling into the gutter

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.

No one has friends IRL anymore - they’re all virtual. Soon they’ll all be AI. That’s when humanity ends. Coming soon.

Unnecessary, I own a Panasonic mirrorless.
How often are you dropping your phone into a street drain?
Quite a lot actually. It has that stupid handle on it so it doesn't ft in my pocket.
Yeah, it was forty-nine times, and now it might be waiting for you.

Aren't these like a very popular accessory?
That's much less reliable tbh
I've used it on a motorcycle attachment for a long trip before. The same pop socket was then attached to a new phone and used for another 2 years. Maybe I lucked out with that model or it just sticks to flat cases better.
The idea of having my phone exposed while riding a motorcycle is freaking me out. Like... My hands got sweaty after reading that.
I completely understand. Before this I actually taped my phone below the motorcycle dash which was scarier because I had to reuse the tape again on the way back and it was coming off. I think it was a Note 2 at the time and those things were huge.

Experience or feeling? I've had three or four over the last 10 years, the plastic starts disintegrating from constant use after a couple years, while the adhesive still sticks (and all that while being repositionable and reusable, I've swapped cases but kept the pop socket), so can't relate tbh
As are other more structurally sound models.

It also doesn't fit in your pocket. How convenient.
Put it down your underwear and make it look like you've got a hard on all the time
Better yet, install a doorknob instead just so you can say it's your knob
Modern problems
require modern solutions!
Clip to a carabiner on your belt loop

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.
somehow survived
There's no reason it wouldn't lmao, a falling phone board has both tiny weight and shitty aerodynamics.
I read that in a slow writing voice and heard pencil scratches
It's trying to escape.
If you are prone to dropping your phone I suggest a strap. It sticks out of the port area and you can just tighten it against your wrist
I was thinking one of those extendo Keychain things, but glued to the front of your phone
You could clip it to your, I don't know, airport or quarry.
Looks like this, there's a bunch but this is the one I have. Short enough to be useful without being annoying imo
You could probably clip it to your belt, maybe a different one with a larger clip would work

I want to make fun of this person having a phone-in-drain problem, but I’ve lived long enough to witness the universe dole out instant karma to people teasing others.
A friend’s mother-in-law told her a story about watching lots of small children and not being able to herd them all to a washroom fast enough, which led to her shitting her pants. My friend made fun of her mother in law, incredulously wondering what kind of adult ever poops their pants. That very night she shit her bed.

The only useful phone case design I've seen. I bet it'll be ADA compliant if applied for.
