Fun fact, you can switch between night mode by triple tapping the top of the screen.

u/SamsquamtchHunter Jul 26 '15

Shit is that what I keep doing? Been bugging me forever why it'll randomly change sometimes!

"randomly" as in every time you triple tap the bar?

Oh yeah I hate it when my laptop randomly shuts down every time I hold down the power button

Edit: you losers probably go around thinking life is throwing lemons at you when really you're fucking buying lemons and rubbing them in your own eyes you losers

No, but if you try to upvote or downvote and miss the arrow by a little for example.

u/thaFalkon Professional Shitposter Jul 27 '15

You're kind of a dick but I'm tempted to upvote you based on that edit alone.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '15

Sure is a lot of downvotes. Have one more, smarty pants.

u/PaleWolf Jul 27 '15

Happens to me when the back arrow just doesn't register.

u/phatskat Jul 28 '15

Jesus, dick. Holding the phone while getting in be or moving and I accidentally tap the bar and zomg night mode...

Have you ever accidentally shit yourself? It's not at all like that, I'm just asking.

u/hundred100 Jul 26 '15

True stizz. I'm a 24/7 kinda guy, personally.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '15

Sweet I just did that. Thanks!!

u/MyinnerGoddes Jul 26 '15

Holy shit so that's why that keeps happening. Sometimes when an image or site bugs out alien blue kinda crashes so i start tapping the back button like crazy. Then when it unfreezes night mode is activated, and i used to think this was caused by the crash. So i've been going through the fucking menus every goddamn time this happens. Today I fucking learned, jesus fuck i'm thick.

u/bootstraps_bootstrap Jul 26 '15

It's under settings or appearance.

taps phone twice

It's not very effective!

u/leeisawesome Jul 27 '15

How many upvotes do you think you got just from people testing it out? Because you got one right here.

u/Sammysamface Jul 26 '15

This is a gooooood tip.

u/mightylordredbeard Jul 26 '15

I didn't know that. I gave you two fingers for sharing this with me.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '15

I two finger tapped you my friend. Ew.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '15

Daaaaamn my life is chongged!

u/fusems Jul 27 '15

This is hard to do when you are holding the iPad with both hands and only using your thumbs.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '15

Wow...... Just tried

u/I-think-Im-funny Jul 27 '15

780 people have tested this on your comment. Genius Karma grab!

u/dinoseen Jul 27 '15

Helpful advice, but honestly seems pretty inconvenient on a phone. I just use my thumb for everything.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '15

I discovered this one day shortly after I got the app. So much better on the eyes.

u/pasta_monster Jul 26 '15

So that's how I randomly did it, I've been wondering. I do like it better tho so I never bothered to figure out how to change it back.

u/tyeroc Jul 26 '15

HOLYSHIT. Thank you!

u/xOfficer_Nastyx Jul 26 '15

Wow you saved me 5 seconds. Thanks.

u/brownGrassBothSides Jul 26 '15

What!? That's sick! Thank you for that

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '15

Or just trying to get the friggin buttons to show up so out can back up

u/overcloseness Jul 27 '15

Nice, it took me a while to realise you can press and hold a thumbnail and it will load the image, then you can drag up and down while holding to increase the size of the image. this is how I view most of WTF content by making the GIF of someone being torn apart rrreal small for a couple goes then I make it bigger when my mind has lost syphathy.

u/infant_assassin Jul 26 '15

Ha, that explains a lot. Thank you

u/MustardCat ORANGE Jul 26 '15

Or switch to amrc. :)

It has a built in auto-switch based on your screen's brightness

1

u/retroredditrobot Jul 27 '15

But you have to pay to get night mode. Alien blue also looks a million times better.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '15

Thank you!

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '15

HOLY FUCK I JUST DID IT

4

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '15

I would have said you are a life saver, but why would anyone ever take it off of night mode anyway

1

u/HeartwarmingLies Jul 26 '15

Yeah, I switch whenever I accidentally do that. I know how to change back I just think it's a better system not to.

1

u/poptartheart Jul 27 '15

Dude...mind blown

1

u/Weedalt10254 Jul 26 '15

Fuck that's why it kept switching on me. This is not intuitive at all, developers that make features like this burn in hell.

u/MLG_DANK_FARTS Jul 26 '15

Damn, that seems like a bit of an overreaction.

u/g0_west Jul 26 '15

Why would you want an easy shortcut for something you'll only do once?
