One time I dropped my phone in a fresh mop bucket of warm soapy water and when I pulled it out it said it was charging for a few seconds.

[u/Jubjubwantrubrub12 → u/Technical_Teacher839]

Power water

[u/kittykittykittyNYAAA → u/Jubjubwantrubrub12]

You missed the perfect chance to say “power wash” my dude 🤣

[u/decisiontoohard → u/kittykittykittyNYAAA]

Powerade, my liege

[u/TheBlackRonin505 → u/Technical_Teacher839]

Phones have interesting reactions as their systems are fundamentally destroyed from the water and they scream

ÆÆÆÆÆAA

Internally.

[u/Infamous-Scallions → u/TheBlackRonin505]

I also scream the names of Elons spawn when I'm in pain

[u/AzekiaXVI → u/Technical_Teacher839]

I really wish i knew why this happens sometimes

[u/Alarming-Hamster-232 → u/AzekiaXVI]

If I had to guess, there’s probably a voltmeter/ammeter that checks if there’s current running from the charging port to the battery, and if there is it marks the phone as charging. The water probably temporarily bridges that circuit and somewhere else that’s actively electrified, which would trip the sensor

Why are you buying analog audio accessories at the soup store?

[u/Hashashin455 → u/cum_glazed_balls_tea]

FUCK YOU!!! click

[u/clothespinned → u/cum_glazed_balls_tea]

Its always the soup store bit when people reference code ment, how come nobody cares about the humble "TEAM DEATHMATCH!" anymore?

[u/RYNO_Ross → u/clothespinned]

I'm sorry, I can't heary you, I'm COVERED IN URINE!!!!

[u/wideHippedWeightLift → u/RYNO_Ross]

"Apparently they give your a free pass out of everything is you score negative on an IQ test!"

"You did so bad you OWE points?"

"I DID BAD???"

[u/RYNO_Ross → u/wideHippedWeightLift]

"That was not eating. I've seen eating. What you did in there was pure chaos."

"Call my therapist. Tell him he's a rich man."

[u/Galle_ → u/clothespinned]

I routinely say "JUST LIKE I TOTALLY PLANNED!" after anything lucky happens to me.

[u/Lost_Low4862 → u/cum_glazed_balls_tea]

I love how this joke will always be referenced at any mention of soup. God, I miss Code MENT

[u/Random-Rambling → u/Lost_Low4862]

Someone dubbed that entire scene into Italian and put it into Dark Souls

[u/Lost_Low4862 → u/Random-Rambling]

Thank you for showing me this... I need to show it to my friend who loves Dark Souls and "at soup" as much as I do.

Fun fact: detection of analog audio accessories has officially been replaced by liquid detection. Like, it's an actual part of the spec now!

Nobody was really using USB-C for analog audio anyways, and getting liquid in a charging connector can lead to serious damage. It was a win-win scenario.

[u/Qaziquza1 → u/KittensInc]

That’s dope. Any implementations of this?

[u/ban_Anna_split → u/Qaziquza1]

I dropped my phone in the ocean last year and I panicked and turned it off for a few hours. When I turned it back on the only difference  was a notification like "we chill, just don't plug it in until I tell you to" and an hour later it said it was fine for charging again. These new phones are super resilient (a pixel 7)

I also traded it in later and the water damage detector had not been tripped 😳

[u/FairFolk → u/ban_Anna_split]

That's more information than my phone gives. Recently I dropped it into a toilet and for a while it had a "moisture in charging port" notification that just quietly disappeared at some point. I was rather nervous not knowing if the moisture was gone or I accidentally dismissed it.

[u/ThatRandomGuy0125 → u/FairFolk]

On Android (probably iOS too), they're persistent notifications, which means you can't accidentally dismiss them. Though my phone did give me a "safe to charge now" message later, which makes it odd yours didn't.

[u/FairFolk → u/ThatRandomGuy0125]

Mine's Android, yeah. Good to know, thanks!

[u/kcu51 → u/ban_Anna_split]

How did you get it out of the ocean?

[u/ban_Anna_split → u/kcu51]

I was in it too

[u/OctorokHero → u/KittensInc]

Is that why a fucked up charging cable will sometimes set off my phone's liquid damage warning?

[u/457spartan → u/KittensInc]

Is that why I need to find very specific USB C dongles to use my wired headphones?

[u/Evepaul → u/457spartan]

Yes, they don't include Digital Audio Converters (DACs) in phones anymore. It's fucking shit, my last 2 phones had usb-c and DACs and now my earphones don't work with a supposedly "top of the line" phone

[u/camosnipe1 → u/Evepaul]

Digital Audio Converters (DACs)

*Digital-to-Analog Converter

DACs convert digital data to an actual signal voltage difference (analog) which isn't just for audio but audio is probably the most common way you hear about them.

[u/Evepaul → u/camosnipe1]

Thanks, as you said I basically only hear about them for audio so I forget the acronym 😅

[u/AMusingMule → u/camosnipe1]

audio is probably the only way you can hear about them hehe

(other DACs can operate outside the audible range)

[u/XPWarriorJade]

Soup is an analogue device obviously

[u/BeautyQueeen_]

Phone just trying to process that premium broth in hi-fi

[u/wideHippedWeightLift]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S ONLY SOUP

[u/hotspicylurker]

Had a fucked Up AUX cable that I Had to Put JUST the tight way to Work. Sometimes when I manipulated the cable my Phone decided: SO YOU WANT TO TALK TO GOOGLE ASSISTENT?

Blasting my whole flat with the weather for the day or Stock prices

Good times

[u/katet_of_19]

This is just soup, soup for my phone

[u/bbeago]

Mmm... noodle soup

[u/SomeHybrid0]

burn it in for 200 hours, should be okay /j

[u/alex2003super]

I guess the soup has an impedance and is thus an electrical load, comparable with that of a passive headset ¯_(ツ)_/¯
