Nothing is true on the internet
You're not even real!
Nope
Do you video every moment of your life?
Bruh, I was asking about pics of the event, not videos.
I kid you not, three attempts has been my experience every feckin time until this one magical moment I just announced.
There is a hole where your soul should be, you liar. I bet you never pee in the shower too? again, you liar.
I pee in the shower several times each shower
Either take shorter shower or go see a doctor
It’s memes like this that makes manufacturers think it doesn’t matter anyway, and suddenly start making devices where the USB sockets are actually upside down. And let me tell you, once you’ve had to deal with one of those, you won’t be laughing anymore.
I've never laughed over this. It's always been constant rage.
My old Lenovo tablet's charging plug has the port upside down, also the tablet itself has the micro USB upside down because of this, so my cable always had to do a little twist when I wanted to charge any other micro USB devices with it.
When I got my USB-C phone, I just swapped the plugs around.
Witchcraft! Burn them!
The secret is to do two practice attempts before you really try to insert it.
Yeah I make sure my cable & device know that I'm not super serious the first two tries, so it doesn't count.
Fucking wizard!
Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most
You think you can just come here and lie to all these people like this? We trusted you
Who let George Santos onto Lemmy?
USB logo upwards, sheer magic
Sideways usb socket: >:]
True but I usually do it in the dark and can't see the female end clearly anyway even if I try to use the braille method (feeling the raised USB logo)
Only because the device was upside down.
I hate this meme. The side of the plug that has the USB logo on it is the top. Or if its sideways, it's usually the right side. Once you know that you get it right first time over 90% of the time.
I think everyone always gets the direction right the first time. That's why, when it won't go in, and you rotate it 180, it still won't go in and you have to flip it back to the original direction to finally get it in.
Once you recognize the side of the case the motherboard is mounted on its easy,
USB c gang
Now try finding the correct PD or altmode or cable on the first try
I've had an upside down pc for a couple months now and you'd be surprised how much easier it is to plug in anything
Liar.
Truly a remarkable achievement.
no you didn't Mr. Simpson, no one can
Pretty much most of the time the plastic bit goes in the bottom, I get it in the first time most times.
okay but there is no top and bottom in my scenario, I'm plugging the charging cable into a power bank that is hanging from a hook, The power bank can spin 360° any way it happens to land at any given moment
The top is probably the LED bar or the brand. Plastic bit goes under this. Just keep the plastic bit down and go around plugging it into things, if the device is designed correctly, it should be in the correct orientation most times.
The legend himself The prophicey has been fufilled
I think he used magnets.
I do it right the first time every time. Because I look at the USB-A and I look at the port it goes into.
Square peg round hole.

I just close my eyes and feel for the symbol that means "this is up".
