So in the interest of ‘doing my job’ with the B93 social media account last night, I decided to post the following meme:
I saw someone else share it and it resonated with me because I have a group chat with my boys and ONE person has an Android and it screws the whole thing up. Green text instead of blue, messages come in all out of order, and the absolute worst part is this:
Hey, Android and Apple, we know there’s a way that you could circumvent this. Man (probably) landed on the moon more than 50 years ago, I refuse to believe that Android and Apple can’t come together on reactions to messages without it having it type out what everyone did word for word.
Anyway, I won’t name my Android friend because this blog isn’t designed to air my personal grievances against Paul Seymour. The point of this blog is that I got a chuckle and I thought maybe a few other people would too. So I posted it and didn’t think twice.
Live look at Android users going to war in the comment section 2 hours later:
Sweet sassy molassy it got CONTENTIOUS. I didn’t realize that the blood feud between Android and Apple was so real. But it is. This is like Coke versus Pepsi. Packers versus Bears. Nintendo versus Sega. Jets versus Sharks. Star Wars versus Star Trek. The Office seasons 1-4 versus The Office seasons 5-9. Strange Brew versus The Huffington Post. All have their rapid fans and they won’t hear anything from anyone supporting the other product.
PS: I did do a modicum of research on this after I saw the comment section devolving, apparently Android has slightly MORE users than Apple based on market share; 52% Android to 46.2% Apple. The other .8% you ask? Blackberry. I love idea of staunch Blackberry users clinging to what was the height of sophistication in 2007.
Double PS: You know what I do miss about Blackberry phones? The physical keyboard. Bring that back.
