They don’t teach this in school, but if you stick one finger in your belly button and one finger in your ear, it takes you back to factory settings.
@adhdeanasl Which ear? Does it matter?
@wendynather
The ear you use matters
@adhdeanasl
@wendynather @adhdeanasl
Right ear: factory reset
Left ear: Recovery mode
(or was it the other way round?)
@lothar @wendynather @adhdeanasl
I think left ear might be self destruct.
@adhdeanasl and heard it was your ass and your ear. But different models have different modes of operation.
@cybeej @adhdeanasl – no, that takes a screenshot.
@adhdeanasl Good to know, always wanted a reset button!
However, first please make sure you have backed up all your favorites and bookmarks otherwise it may take a few decades to recreate them.
@adhdeanasl how long does it take? Asking for a… friend…
@adhdeanasl Don't I wish it was that easy. LOL
@adhdeanasl Great! Now can we get my huge novelty New Year’s sunglasses to stop flashing “2020?”*
*(That being the last year most of us went outside our home for a New Year’s party)
@adhdeanasl We used to terrorize our credulous youngest brother telling him we could detach his legs by pressing his belly button
Wouldn't want that to happen to me - thanks for the warning! I'll refrain from simultaneously picking my ear and scratching my bellybutton from now on.
But I can think of one or two people who might benefit. Wonder if it works if I try it on them?
Only one way to find out, I guess...
@adhdeanasl
If you use the left ear, it resets you to metric.
@DenOfEarth We should all do this immediately, then
"Okay lol I'll give it a try. What could go wrong?"
*Presses belly button and ear at the same time, holds for 10 seconds*
*Suddenly crawling on the floor screaming with poopy pants*
"Well, fuck, I should have known not to take advice from someone on the Internet."
@adhdeanasl Oooh I definitely don't want those
@adhdeanasl unless the mods keep
@adhdeanasl i was almost tempted to try that lol
@adhdeanasl does it matter which finger, and in to which ear you stick it? Does left do one form of reset, and right another? Does your pinky do a softer recet than say your middle finger? how about your thumb, straight in, and your pinky in your ear. Does it matter what finger you stick in your ear? #AutisticalQuestions
@adhdeanasl Thanks, I did this and now I work in a factory.
Dale Arden: So that's why they let us escape; Klytus thought he'd wiped out your memory.
Dr. Hans Zarkov: But do you know why it really failed?
Dale Arden: I can't imagine.
Dr. Hans Zarkov: As he was sticking one finger in my belly button and one finger in my ear, I started to recite Shakespeare, the Talmud, the formulas of Einstein, anything I could remember, even a song from the Beatles.
Dr. Hans Zarkov: It armored me, girl; they couldn't wipe those things away. You can't beat the human spirit!
@adhdeanasl
Is there some button that can keep the settings but take the hardware back a decade or two?
@adhdeanasl@beige.party Definitely to be avoided, then, because the firmware had serious bugs on delivery. You don't happen to know the combo for bootloader and screenshot?
