Communication breakdown

Seriously. I understand there’s a generational gap, but this is laid out so fucking plainly. Like… how does she not know, at the very least, that the purple dude is not a real person
Maybe thinks its some performer or a statue or something. She probably didn't pay attention to all the grimmace ads so has no frame of reference of why a charger would connect to a big mac

Metaphors are hardly a new device. Anyone who knows how to read above an elementary school level should readily understand metaphors and similes.
You should tell her that, I'm not going to.

Or maybe shes just an idiot.

To be fair, that is a horrible meme format for this purpose.
I still don't know if the OP was complaining that she stops the phone from charging beyond 80% or that she insists on charging even when it's already 80% charged.

Everyone is misunderstanding what's going on here. Mom is obviously so chill with aliens that not only does she not recognize this particular alien, but she's concerned her son went somewhere she doesn't know about with that unfamiliar alien. He needs to call her so he can tell her.

He has to explain the very concept of a movie to his mom now.

…and people who don’t understand things like that automatically but pose follow up questions and ask for help to try to understand are unworthy?

Mom, I know it's hard to accept but film is inevitable

Did you go there?
(That's the part that got me. It's such a clueless to say lol)I wish they just responded with a full lore dump that would be far more confusing
"Yes mom, I'm sorry to tell you I'm part of Thanos' army now. He is traveling planet by planet to erase 50% of every global population. I think it's really smart. You might disappear though, but it's all for the balance. Once we kill those pesky Avengers and collect all the Infinity Stones we'll be right on our way. Sorry, can't talk now, hope your phone is charged over 80%, busy busy. And thoughts and prayers that you're part of the 50% that remains! If so I'll call you tomorrow after we kill Spider-Man. Love you."

No, not unworthy at all. But there's also a wide divide between asking questions and actually seeking to understand. It's been my experience that many people have developed a questioning mechanism to mask/cover their embarrassment or willful ignorance, and those people don't care at all to learn the root lesson, they simply want to "win" whatever they perceive as an argument. Winning the conflict is more important than learning the new information. And socially, that process becomes exceedingly tedious.
As the quote goes, "I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you."

25%, getting dangerously close to battery saver mode.

It was combative because the OC called the recipient unworthy and you replied that it was because they didn’t understand things that most people who can read at a third grade level do.
That’s messed up, and I was intending to point out that that’s the implication of your comment so you could rephrase it if it was unintended.
Some people don’t seek to understand, but this person’s asking multiple questions to figure out what this means, and then wants to talk verbally because they’re not getting it via text. I don’t see a reason to suspect they’re not looking to understand.
