A gentle reminder that Jerry Seinfeld is pro-genocide, and his wife financially supported a counter protest to those speaking out against Palestinian civilians being slaughtered.
I can hear this comic.
they should do 1 20 minutes episode revival where it’s just the 3 of them (not kramer obvs) talking in the booth about new tech
No way Jerry would do it without Michael Richards.
It’s human to lose your shit sometimes. I think he sincerely apologised.
Edit: ok I’ve done some soul searching and I’ve realized that I don’t really care who they are off set. Be they racists, communists, or nazis IRL, if what they say on the show is funny to me, I’m gonna watch it.
I’m usually like this if it’s a one time thing. In his case IDK I just said that because other people still say he is an asshole. But I won’t support people that we know are not sorry and would still do it if they could, even if they are famous. Like the unhinged Kanye.
Hmm true, I guess Kanye would actually be beyond the line for be as well
Honestly yeah, like a podcast script read Reunion would be amazing with a modern script!
It would be fun to make a “No Swipe Image Viewer” app that lets you pick an image to share - and then presents some searing penalty like a screamer to anyone who swipes to the side.
Just be warned, not for the elderly or faint of heart.
Venture capitalists will be knocking on your door for you to lead a new start up
This already exists. Probably several of them.
I had one back in the day that would allow you to pick an arbitrary selection of images from your gallery and would only display those. Ninja Snap, I think it was called. If the holder tried to swipe beyond this it would respond by taking pictures of whoever is holding the phone via the selfie cam (inevitably pictures of them up their nose, given how they’re likely to be holding the phone) and eventually start admonishing them for being an assmunch and violating the trust of whoever’s phone it was.
Anyway, Focus lets you do this in a less trollworthy manner. It also has an option to lock you phone if someone hits the home button trying to get to other apps or snoop around in other stuff. Several other Gallery replacement apps do, as well.
I just tell people “don’t swipe unless you wanna see my dick” and that usually does it.
Faceswap the offender’s face onto lemonparty in real time.
We have this technology.
While recording their reaction
That’s why you slightly zoom in on a pic before showing it to someone.
How isn’t there a feature like this? You press a button next to your photo, and lock it in place, no swiping or exiting the app without faceID
Guided Access Mode on iOS or Screen/App Pinning on Android
I put any pics i want to show off in an album.
Swipe to see similar/SWF photos, while the ones I take to track my receding hairline, stay in the chaos bucket that is my photos app.
iOS has a “hidden” folder that requires a password to get into. All the nudes should go in there just in case. I’m sure there’s something similar on most versions of android.
more or less every phone has this as well.
Wait that’s so smart I need to start doing that
Or, you know, use a gallery app that doesn’t need such workarounds.
If you have an iPhone you can turn on Guided Access mode by triple clicking the power button.
In guided access mode you can disable touch.
“I tried to stop her, Jerry! I tried!”
The League already did something about this…and yes it was basically a more modern version of Seinfeld.
It used what I call the “four psychopaths” format. Seinfeld invented it and…it’s always sunny in philadelphia uses the same format.
IASIP is Seinfeld cracked up to 11, in some episodes quite literally
By did something about this I assume you mean did an episode on this subject, not did something to stem the tide of illicit swiping.
More like a little bit about it in one of the episodes. The League was based on a fantasy football league if you never watched it, and the episode featured one of the people discovering something due to “illegal swiping” and one of the NFL referee people guest starred and called him out on it.
It’s a pretty funny show even if you aren’t into football.
Modern Kramer: removed
I’d love if they made this a tv show, and shot it with “Kramer” still being a character. However, Micheal Richards is not part of the show.
They get a voice actor who can do a voice impression of Kramer, but there’s no actual human body. The 3 actors interact with air.
They rig the door to open as if he were opening it, and they all act like he’s there.
They could even do a scene where Kramer explains his physical absence.
K: “Oh, Jerry, it’s the newest thing! Yeah it’s called AI. You just replace your whole existence with an artifical intelligence! Isn’t that wild???”
J: “Yeah, for you that would be an upgrade having any intelligence at all!”
E: “Kramer, I don’t think that’s what AI is. I don’t know WHAT this is, but it’s not AI.”
G: “Yeah. Where’s your body?”
K: “Oh, I’m out there, baby!”
J: “You certainly are out there, that’s for sure!”
K: “Jerry, you gotta get in on this! It’s the wave of the future! I’m telling ya! By 2032 nobody is going to have a physical body!”
J: “Remember when you said I should invest in Enron?”
K: “Hey, that wasn’t my fault. They were making CRAZY money!”
J: “Yeah, it WAS crazy! Crazy illegal! And remember when you said Vine was the next big thing?”
K: “And it was!..for about 12 seconds.”
J: “How did you even DO this anyway???”
E: “Yeah, I’m confused what’s even happening here. We can’t see you, we can’t smell you, we can hear you somehow, but we can’t touch you.”
K: “Oh you can touch me alright!”
Elaine gives disgusted face
G: “Well hold on, maybe theres some merrit to this. Let me ask you this, Kramer. Could I use this to NOT be at my job, but my bosses think I am?”
J: “Oh, here we go…”
K: “Well I don’t see why not. They can’t see you. You pop your head in at the start of the day, they hear your voice, and pop in at the end of the end of the day, who’s to say what you were doing the rest of the day?”
J: “That’s so stupid!”
G: “No it’s GENIUS!!! I can get 8 different full time jobs, with 8 different pay checks, not do ANY of the work, and do about 30 minutes of effort a day! I’M BACK BABY!!!”
J: “There no way THIS plan could go wrong…”
door opens, nobody enters, Newmans voice
“Hello Jerry!”
J: “Oh, now Newman is doing it too???”
Newman walks in carrying an oversized postal package
N: “Doing what? I just brought this package you ordered. Sign here.”
J: “I thought you were invisable…Hello…Newman.”
N: “I was wondering where that was. Invisable? Why would I be invisable?”
K: “Because why WOULDN’T you want to be invisable???”
Newman screams and falls backwards over the couch
N: “Kramer??? You’re invisable???”
E: “Ugh, don’t ask. It’s a whole thing…”
N: “But how?”
K: “It’s called AI…”
E: “No it’s not…”
K: “Alright smartypants! Why don’t YOU tell us what it is then?”
E: “I don’t know. It all feels like a jump the shark moment, like Pickle Rick.”
J: “Pickle Rick? Oh, you mean that guy who had a deli on 8th street until he went crazy trying to forcefully sell people his own brand of pickles.”
E: “Yeah, that’s Pickle Rick. What else would I call him?”
That sounds odd.
edit: Also, while I’d love for lemmy to get huge, it’s cool that our community allows for recognition of people with whom I’ve interacted previously.
No swipe for you! Come back one year!
I was watching a cpl episodes of Seinfeld last night, and it seemed like half the plotlines would have been moot if everyone had a cellphone.
I’m thinkin’ Hey!
