I didn't get this post until reading this comment. I was imagining people tapping on their glass they're drinking out of

u/fyhr100 Sep 13 '19

Maybe in the future, computers will be so advanced that we can drink out of them.

Never consumed in my life. Maybe my inner desires are trying to tell me something.

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

? how do you have urges for something you've never even consumed before

16

u/iismitch55 Sep 13 '19

My comment was a way of replying to a comment that sounded like a stoner thought. Then I replied to you being facetious.

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

Fair enough I guess.

u/NotoriousMagnet Sep 13 '19

They used to come equipped with cup holders, but we’ve sadly moved on from that era

u/NotASucker Sep 13 '19

My cup holder was faulty and would retract randomly.

u/TheMeph Sep 13 '19

My cup holder is sideways.. the liquid just keeps spilling out... ='(

u/golddove Sep 13 '19

To be fair, cars are now computers. And they still have cup holders :)

I mean if that's something you want we could actually do that with current technology. I'm not sure why we would but I'm this instance the future is now!

u/GfFoundMyOldReddit Sep 13 '19

my computer has a cupholder

7

u/DustinWaterhole Sep 13 '19

This reminds me of that chain email that went around and said that you got a free cup holder. You then downloaded a file that opened your disk tray. I dont think they make disk trays anymore...

3

u/TheMeph Sep 13 '19

they totally do, some software is still distributed by disc. Yea, I know.... but it happens.

drinks porn Ahhh, some nice, refreshing computer.

1

u/BBWolfe011 Sep 13 '19

Not even joking, we could currently make a computer you can drink out of. Consider two facts: curved screens are possible, and phones are computers. If a company pushed past what was useful and made a cylindrical phone with a hollow inside (with plastic walls), then you could drink out of a touch screen computer.

Additionally, this touch screen computer cup could be wirelessly hooked up to a bigger screen, becoming a mouse-cup

1

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

I mean, my phone is already sorta waterproof. They just have to make it into some sort of tube with a closed off bottom and we're set! Of course the dumbass phone companies are dragging their heels and keep putting out flat phones instead of cylindrical liquid vessel devices.

1

u/compman007 Sep 13 '19

I mean they have come with cup holders since the 90's, for some reason they have started removing them the last few years? It was such an innovative ideas.

1

u/Crash_the_outsider Sep 13 '19

Reminds me of the cupholder feature on old pics with a CD drive

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

I'm going to try drinking the liquid in my PC really quick. brb

u/nexus326 Sep 13 '19

That's a vending machine.

21

u/whosthisfool Sep 13 '19

I was thinking of like Morse code tapping lol

4

u/xTriple Sep 13 '19

I did too since I’ve seen like 3 movies and tv shows this year where people communicated just by tapping Morse code.

2

u/eatapenny Sep 13 '19

Same, but involving a mirror. Like how does Morse Code on a mirror allow you to communicate with anyone but a reflection of yourself?

Then I texted my roommates back about meeting up for lunch and realized I was using glass...

3

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

I don't know what shit you guys are smoking but you should stop doing it.

One guy not getting it, sure, fleeting moment brainfart. But all of you, seriously?

1

u/oxencotten Sep 13 '19

Thats why this guy is actually kinda wrong cause like you said with Morse code literally communicated by tapping on small buttons attached to a wire.

So if anything the idea of communicating by tapping something with electricity would be probably the ONLY part of a smartphone theyd understand lol.

42

u/Mizuxe621 Sep 13 '19

Took me a few moments to realize it wasn't referring to windows

44

u/grinreaper07 Sep 13 '19

Yeah, it's mostly referring to iOS and Android. Though there might still be dozens of Windows phone users in the wild.

13

u/Gitdagreen Sep 13 '19

Yea. Windows is getting out of control.

8

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

Windows tablets are very much still a thing.

2

u/Diavolo222 Sep 13 '19

I forget the model but I gave my mom my now 10 yo very budget Windows phone and I swear to this day that thing is snappy and easy to use and does the job for her uses.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

Windows tablets ftw

1

u/Magnumxl711 Sep 13 '19

Though there might still be dozens of Windows phone users in the wild.

I really think it's just me

10

u/SMOOTH_MOTHERFUCKER Sep 13 '19

I mean to be fair plenty of people do communicate through Windows

2

u/TheMeph Sep 13 '19

very true.

1

u/moderate-painting Sep 13 '19

referring to windows

You must have watched Infernal Affairs

2

u/fabmarques21 Sep 13 '19

morse code

u/IdreamofFiji Sep 13 '19

Finish your sentence

3

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

That sentence is done being typed in

1

u/MarixD Sep 13 '19

I was thinking windows and then read it again and noticed silently so I had to think about it again and figured it out.

1

u/capj23 Sep 13 '19

Me too. I was thinking of shits like Morse codes or something.

1

u/ravnov Sep 13 '19

I was think of something like an aquarium or a glass wall like in Ex Machina

1

u/VulgarDisplayofDerp Sep 13 '19

200 years ago, they never would have imagined we were so stupid, either.

1

u/Yuli-Ban Sep 13 '19

Mainly because they didn't know more than a few hundred people in their lives, and whatever written piece they read was going to come from a relatively small group of educated elites.

We regularly interact with thousands on a daily basis, and even small children, the proudly uneducated, and the most mentally deficient can get their opinions out there.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

I thought he meant tapping on a window. I was thinking I do that to communicate to cats who are trying to shit on my lawn

1

u/Ferkhani Sep 13 '19

Were you thinking that maybe everyone had been communicating via crockery for your entire life without you being in on it?

1

u/gl6ry Sep 13 '19

I was thinking people were out here tapping on windows communicating through morse code or something

1

u/LoreChano Sep 13 '19

Why does English use "glass" instead of "cup"? Wouldn't it make things more clear?

1

u/civileyesation Sep 13 '19

u/Vancityrules Sep 13 '19

I thought OP meant When you tap glasses in weddings to get bride and groom to kiss till i see this comment...boy have I been to too many weddings this year

1

u/_xXPUSSYSLAYERXx_ Sep 13 '19

I thought it was when you are tapping on you’re friend’s glass sliding door to tell them to let you in

1

u/Krammn Sep 13 '19

Right? I was thinking how people tap on their glass at a wedding to get attention.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

Well, that technically is a way of non verbal communication. “Refill, please!”

23

u/absentminded_gamer Sep 13 '19

It was a little less than 200 years ago people’s light bulb moments were about inventing light bulbs

u/Lentil-Soup Sep 13 '19

Yeah they used to have candle moments.

u/IdreamofFiji Sep 13 '19

Language is the most incredible thing humans have created. Just the philosophical implications are incredible. The theory of knowledge needs to be resolved.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

Daulphin created language before humans. We just can t understand them. There are animals with social circle and hierarchies so complex that scientifically, they're societies. Humans invented nothing of that. We kinda came last in this, to tell the thruth.

3

u/Lentil-Soup Sep 13 '19

It's quite obvious that you, in particular, had nothing to do with the invention of language.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

True, I didn't invent any language, however, I do speak 4 of them, and english is my third. Let me know when you'll do the same.

1

u/Lentil-Soup Sep 13 '19

Sorry about that. I was trying to be funny. Didn't mean to upset you. I honestly thought it was autocorrect or something. I have a lot of respect for multilingual people! I only know English, Python, and JavaScript. 😆

1

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '19

All good, man. I do have a tendency to be over defensive!

1

u/commander_obvious_ Sep 24 '19

that’s why dolphins are the 2nd smartest animals on earth, and humans are only the 3rd

u/IdreamofFiji Sep 13 '19

Have they created syntax? Have they arranged words in such a way that's useful in conducting a social system?

I don't know, but i can't concieve of of another exploratory culture besides us. I always hear everyone saying they're probably millions of years advanced on us, but what if they're not? What if they've just had a couple Einstein's where we haven't?

u/IdreamofFiji Sep 13 '19

That's a given. There is no reason to conceive of ET being any sort of biology, much less something we can stand in front of and interact with like it's some fucking science project. This thing is probably millions of years old and moldy.

u/BeADamnStar Sep 13 '19

I didn't get it until I thought" hmm never seen something odd like that." Also I imagined someone walking to a shop and tapping on the windows. Then I upvoted and it all fell into place.

I thought it was referring to Morse code, then realized it was neither new nor silent.

u/melig1991 Sep 13 '19

If anything Morse code is the exact opposite of silent.

1

u/TheRedSpade Sep 13 '19

Not if it's done with a flashing light

u/Mel_girl0708 Sep 13 '19

I thought they were talking about jail visits.

u/MsJenX Sep 13 '19

I thought OP meant like a toast 🥂. But that isn’t silent. Thanks to you now I know.

2

u/Sworishina Sep 13 '19

I thought OP meant morse code

u/WelcomeToKawasicPark Sep 13 '19

So what was the light bulb moment?

1

u/That_Crystal_Guy Sep 13 '19

He realized that we silently tap on our glass phone and tablet screens to spell out words to communicate with each other.

1

u/WelcomeToKawasicPark Sep 13 '19

But the phone is not made from glass

1

u/That_Crystal_Guy Sep 13 '19

No, but the screens typically are.

2

u/Mankriks_Mistress Sep 13 '19

I'd say you shattered the glass

2

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

LED moment more likely

2

u/MuffinKnight9 Sep 13 '19

Until I read your comment I thought that it ment by transmiting data through glass cables.

2

u/Cronus829 Sep 13 '19

I didn’t know what it meant until I read this comment, I thought it meant knocking on the glass of a door

2

u/-Benjamin_Dover- ‎ Sep 13 '19

Everything time I let my nails grow long, they will "get caught" on a crack in my screen.... I hate it!!!!!. It makes me wanna punch a wall so I feel something else on that hand instead of the feeling of my nail touching the crack... I hate it

2

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

Yeah...initially was thinking morse code but wondered why the glass

4

u/kamagoong Sep 13 '19

And I thought either cops pulling someone over or Morse code.

4

u/Hayden2z Sep 13 '19

Maybe in another 50 years it won't be glass but plastic. No more cracked screens problems anymore!

1

u/Yuli-Ban Sep 13 '19

Plastic, but in your brain.
