what would you do if you were offered the possibility to win $100k and all you had to do is use a 1996 cellphone for a year.
>no tablet or smartphones
>laptop and pc okay
>if you make it 6 months you get $10k
>just use a 96 cellphone for a year
I would do it honestly, i call people more than I text
i havent owned a phone in four years and never had a tablet what do i win
I'd gladly use a tv remote as a phone if I get 100k for doing so.
Real question is: who wouldn't be able to do this? $100k for not using a smartphone? What are you going to seriously give up 100k to browse social media? Dumb ass contest
I already do this.
Most people are slaves to their phone and can't live without the dopamine rush and need for instant communication.
lol what
literally nothing would change and I'd get free money
Too bad they'll only select some roast who tweets "LIEK OMG I'D LIKE LITTERALLY DIEEE WITHOUT MY PHONE"
I understand that, but you would still have a phone. So you could still call people if you REALLY needed to get into contact with someone.
Yeah but they don't really want to be in contact with people. They just want to look at other people's shit.
I already do that, since I never use my phone aside from calls and cam.
Do 1996 cellphones have SMS?
All I use my phone for is PUBG, porn and YouTube when Im too lazy to even sit. So yeah. I could do this easily. You see when you are a normie not only do you have many contacts but you have to constantly keep contact with said contacts or else you miss out.
But I wouldnt get the money anyway. See that lie detector part? Lie detectors are proven qseudo science and I have a long history of neurotic behavior dating back to when I was 11. This challenge is a sham.
>laptop or PC fine
HELL YES. EASY MONEY.
If These people are getting money to not be normie, then I deserve a billion dollars.
I dont even own a phone. I used to have a phone but my get like 20 missed calls from my mom when she needs me to go home. As a result I gave my phone to my brother because his phone broke and never had one ever since
Yep. The 2010 was released in 94 I think and that started the sms craze here.
Yeah but Normies would think you're a freak using a 20 year old phone as it says in the article, I'd be up to it if it was a Nokia brick from the 00's.
>has SMS
Well that's not even a challenge then.
>normies'd think you're a freak
user, I...
Did that until 3 years ago, no fucks given.
Only bargained for some smartphone from a bro when that old thing broke, and it is nearly as ancient.
Besides you need to leave the house AND get calls first, robots advantage.
This is essentially like giving me a free $100,000.
>possibility
Aside from that whatever, I mostly use my phone as a glorified music player and PDA with web capabilities.
i've never used or owned one so i could manage it
How would that even be hard? If a PC is ok, then it's barely even a change.
I barely even use my phone for anything other than the occasional text or call. The only things I'd miss are the memo feature to keep a todo list with me, podcasts to listen to while doing chores, and sudoku and similar games while taking a poop. All of which I could replicate with other devices.
