    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

    how is it plain? what is he doing? what is on his arm? what does him fucking with his arm have to do with taking a charger when it is not needed? I have no idea and clearly plenty of other people also agree.

    this scene is not common enough knowledge to reference that people know what's happening and that makes it a poor choice for the meme.

      It could be your personal imaginary friend from childhood and it would still stand. The point of memes is that context is optional. I haven't watched American comic hero movies either. The point is that there's a character taking or holding something

      yes, we can deduce that someone is doing something and that is being compared to taking a phone charger when it isn't needed. but a solid meme references an image that has a humorous and well understood comparison to the topic. this just appears to be a guy using a robot arm device. I don't know how that comically references someone taking something that they don't need when they already have enough. does it?

        Who checked their charge level when viewing this. I'm exactly at 80 right now.

          The petit pipi is very funny to me for some reason.

          I also appreciate the translation of "???" for "???"

            I know, I wasn't happy with that guess either.

            All l can find right now is a paper that suggests metaphorical understanding may be impaired in people with schizophrenia.

                40% is unnecessary conservative. More like 20%.

                  It’s a good thing lithium batteries are made out of infinitely renewable smiles and laughs! Otherwise your behavior of taking the electrical equivalent of an orbital sander to your battery every day would make you so irresponsible it would make you an out of touch asshole that doesn’t care about the next generation of humans.

                          The dude is a purple alien. Like unless this lady has never seen a person before then that’s pretty obvious.

                            exactly, it's the recommendations for batteries for the last 10 years or more. people doing otherwise are following "old folklore" and killing their batteries faster.

                            The reality for most people is they charge their phone at night, and that's it. If the phone has a built in mechanism to stop charging at a certain percentage, you can use that, but otherwise it will just charge to 100%.

                            The only other option would be to have a smart outlet, and have your phone turn off the smart outlet when it hits 80%, which is an annoyance even if you know how to do it, and virtually impossible for tech illiterate people.

                            The next best thing is to make sure you aren't using a fast charger, as the heat from fast charging is arguably worse than charging it to 100%. And if it's charging over night, there is no reason for it to charge quickly.

                              She could be pretending to not understand because she misses hearing her/his voice.

                                I use a setting on my S21 that keeps the battery from going over 80 for that reason. It does seem to help, battery's still going strong while my S8's has gone completely to shit.

                                    I still don't know what you're suggesting. are purple aliens known to take chargers unnecessarily? I get that her responses are strange (possibly fake) but my point is that the meme sucks and doesn't make sense on its own to a lot of people, myself included. this scene in this movie franchise is not well understood enough to connect to the situation.

                                      She was asking if they “knew him.” If they knew a purple alien, like has met this obviously not real person before. I do not understand your confusion at all my man.

                                          It's just saying she plugs her phone in to charge even though it's at 80%. There's not much to it.
