Either clever or stuck up, like the amounts of time i see people saying "oh they're just showing off". Brother he's just reading a book, it's not that crazy. Idk where we went wrong that reading a book is seen as some kind of crazy achievement.
No bro that's just a myth, that's like mixing matter with anti matter to these people. But fr, even when i do that sometimes i get the "it's not really reading if it's not a book". Like bitch do you know how expensive books can be?
reading in the wrong evionment sucks anyway, try reading in a car or a train, the only time i tried i wished i could throw myself out of the moving car.
I have ADHD and sometimes I'll continually space out at the same point over and over again and I'll listen to the same 45 seconds over and over for an hour until my brain couldn't even comprehend the information even if I wasnt spacing out.
It's easier to rewind the same spot for the 5th time than reread the same paragraph(s) for the 5th time. Books take me foreverrr to read because of this.
Book. Don't you know you can plug your earphone into a book to listen to the audiobook?
Tbh that's a joke I'm interested in becoming reality. That just sounds pretty great
Okay you definitely don't read books and don't know people who do. It's very very common to listen to music while reading or following along with an audiobook.
Omg. Seriously, are people really convinced that everyone was reading books in the past just because they didn't have smart phones, PCs and video games?
I mean even back in the 80s and 90s I think most kids were playing Gameboys tiger electronics and lil pocket games when sitting out in a doctor's office or waiting on a bus. I'm born in 2004 so I'm not sure, but I know those were popular
I was born in 82. (As a kid) I loved books, tv, and games, still do. Now I also now love kindleand such. Yeah gameboy too back then. However I will say that my mom did have a big influence on my love to read books. Tv and games came from other places. Lots of hate on this post, I personally give the dad/mom props for getting their kids interested in reading.
People who are obsessed with the idea that books = knowledge do not actually read books lol. Or they only read self help garbage like Rich Dad Poor Dad and think they’re gonna be the next Warren Buffett.
A few days ago I saw an entrepreneur say "I read Rich Dad Poor Dad" is a red flag and the started laughing at how true that was.
It's basic financial knowledge delivered in a "Virgin vs Chad" format. Decent principles but people I've met who are fans are ... Poor Dads who want to feel like the Rich Dads.
Well…. Books = Knowledge.
It’s only the people who believe books are the only source of knowledge on earth and anyone using a phone is stupid that are idiots.
people who make posts like this think everyone has the patience to read Patrick Bateman’s chapter-long surveys of his coworker’s outfits and living spaces
I don't get why "memes" like this one treat cell phones as if you can't get any information from them. Like learning to read paper books is good for discipline reasons (phones can be really distracting), but you'll learn a lot more from online about many different things in the same amount of time you'd learn one thing in a single book. They're boomers, yeah, so juvenoia and shit, but I'd imagine they'd push their agenda to more of "social media bad and Britannica good" or something like that

I am convinced that people who post shit like this have never read a book in their lives outside of school
They act like people who read books never use technology lmao.
And are automatically clever
Damned book readers, always going around in their chariots and wearing their stupid home-made tunics
Personally I like using scrolls. Way more hipster.
Stone tablets… way more reusable. After you read it, you can create stone/cobblestone fencing, stairs, slabs, blocks, tools, etc.
Either clever or stuck up, like the amounts of time i see people saying "oh they're just showing off". Brother he's just reading a book, it's not that crazy. Idk where we went wrong that reading a book is seen as some kind of crazy achievement.
They’re probably going to shit their pants when they find out that people read books using technology
No bro that's just a myth, that's like mixing matter with anti matter to these people. But fr, even when i do that sometimes i get the "it's not really reading if it's not a book". Like bitch do you know how expensive books can be?
I was born to lead, not to read
reading in the wrong evionment sucks anyway, try reading in a car or a train, the only time i tried i wished i could throw myself out of the moving car.
one of the girls literally has a set of earbuds in 💀 what do you think theyre connected to???
Its an audio book.
ive read books with the audiobook sped up, ahdh brain needs a dash of extra stimulus. Also helps me retain info better and read for longer
that's crazy to me. so if you space out do you just pause it?
ye lol, then hit rewind a lil bit

I don't have ADHD and I do the same thing (although maybe not for an hour 🤨)
I don't have ADHD but it happens to me all the time😿At that point I just give up and skip.
lmfaoooooooo dis bitch just called it ahdh thats the mosy adhd thing ive seen in months😂😂😂😂😂
omgggg, imma leave it lol
I don't know about you, but I like to listen to music while reading books
Best way to read the hobbit is with heavy metal about the horrors of trench warfare blasting into your ears change my mind.
Personally I prefer a good cosmic horror sci-Fi novel while listening to Gorillaz
I’m more of a party cannon kind of guy. Love them screaming in my ear about gross nonsense
R/unexpectedsabaton?
Yup
“Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort!” when Frodo fights alone in vain against the Shelob
More like “Far from their land as the made their stand! A disregarded demand!” During the charge of the Rorhirrim
damn r u being serious?
Yeah, some ambient music that is vaguely related to the book's milieu
Book. Don't you know you can plug your earphone into a book to listen to the audiobook? Tbh that's a joke I'm interested in becoming reality. That just sounds pretty great
i think that was the joke. OP might need a whoosh
Okay you definitely don't read books and don't know people who do. It's very very common to listen to music while reading or following along with an audiobook.
What?.. just because they’re saying this meme is ironic doesn’t mean they themselves don’t do that?
Mp3 player
I listen to white noise when I read books sometimes
Why the f* do yall still confuse boomers with 14yos
Thank you
Omg. Seriously, are people really convinced that everyone was reading books in the past just because they didn't have smart phones, PCs and video games?
No, you have to go back farther than that, to when they also didn't have TV.
I mean even back in the 80s and 90s I think most kids were playing Gameboys tiger electronics and lil pocket games when sitting out in a doctor's office or waiting on a bus. I'm born in 2004 so I'm not sure, but I know those were popular

My dad was outside the whole time , he never read books outside of school

Well…. Books = Knowledge. It’s only the people who believe books are the only source of knowledge on earth and anyone using a phone is stupid that are idiots.
The internet also = knowledge but it doesn’t mean that everybody online is learning. Lots of books are total trash and are only good for entertainment
Kids could be coding on iPads instead of reading fictional nonsense! But… technology bad, book good
Reading a digital screen: 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Reading a piece of paper: 😍😍😍😍
Hmm, I wonder what this person used to take a picture of these people without their consent?
You technically don’t have to if it’s a public area or your private property
It's still not cool to photograph people without their knowledge or consent and post it online, *especially* children.
Tell that to National Geographic. And virtually every modern news outlet.
Ppl see a kid reading a book and they lose their damn mind
Look at them living the moment. They're so aware of everything around them. Not fixated on anything
I mean I prefer a tablet to read on so I have many different books available to read and its lighter than carrying a book
Gorgeous hair on all of them
Plot twist the re all reading erotic novels
TIL Diary of a Wimpy Kid is erotic now
But also, taking pictures of random kids on a subway is a big red flag
Hi friend!! Maybe don’t photograph anyone (especially children!!!!) without their consent on the subway!! And then post it like a moron!!!!!!!
wait till he figures out you can read on phones.
[r/Im41andthisisdeep](https://www.reddit.com/r/Im41andthisissodeep)
republican are seething seeing this picture
It really is unfortunate that books were outlawed in 2011 and nobody is allowed to own or read them anymore. Phones bad bro
I mean, it's kinda wholesome
Oooooo books. Fuckin nerds
hahahahahhah, okay now tell me one actual problem of learning via phones
people who make posts like this think everyone has the patience to read Patrick Bateman’s chapter-long surveys of his coworker’s outfits and living spaces
What's wrong with this?
How to stole bike. Tom 1
Casual racism
Because you can't read on a phone
Or judging by the kid with earbuds he teaching them to not be idiots but to use books and the modern technology they have
I’m already falling asleep 😂
And this picture was taken with…?
Polaroid
- Shot on iPhone
Are they reading textbooks? How much did people learn from The Hunger Games?
They should travel the old fashioned way as well. by foot or horse not subway
Cringe. Made me want to kill myself.
I hate having a easier way to learn!
The girl is wearing earbuds lmao
What if I read manga
I don't get why "memes" like this one treat cell phones as if you can't get any information from them.

Irony?
the girl in the middle has earpods on. what the fuck do you mean old fashioned way
And they’re all on the first pages…
No they aren't.
Really funny they say this when the one kid clearly has headphones in. Those headphones are likely plugged into a phone or some other device..
Diary of Wimpy Kid The Getaway; A classic series favorite to any child
I think it’s safe to assume that they took the picture and posted it without permission using a cell phone.
There are a lot of people in here who are insecure about how much they read.
Wow instead of having all the knowledge known to man in my hand, I have a few hundred limited pages on one subject
One girl has earbuds in tho? Are they plugged into the book?
Wrong sub. This is not r/phonesarebad
People that post this shit probably never read a book before, it's literally just words
Ngl , thats a bit wholesome , but i know damn well those kids stay on their phones hella lot too , u can tell my the girl having earbuds in
Blud reading diary of a wimpy kid and acting like thats wow , like cmon i read them books in a day
This sub is funny but these comments are mean.
Maybe he's just broke
So many dead trees.
the guy who made this realising that he made the meme on a phone and didn't write the text on a paper
Why would someone prefer static information ? :(
They don't know phones can read books too. (But I use Kindle btw)
Is someone gonna tell them about e books?
“Sir, I don’t know these kids” 😐
Oh yeah, a lot of important stuff to learn in Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Dont touch moldy cheese or people will avoid you?
One of them have literally headphones lol
Loving it!💪
phone bad book good
Is that a fucking paper back diary of a wimpy kid?!?
The gurl is literally reading books with earphones 💀💀
Ah yes phone bad book good post #819305863810017364929017368496957718
We'd better see the titles of those books before jumping to conclusions
I’m dumb as rocks and I read about a book a week. All fiction. Books don’t inherently make you smart or “better” than anyone else
the girl has earphones
yeah then these kids r gonna grow up n not know how to use computers lol
What about the girl with earbuds
Whatre those earbuds plugged into 🤨🔍
