How else are people at Trader Joes going to hear Cannibal Corpse?

And if they object, then they deserve their hammer smashed face :)

The song “You Suffer” by Napalm Death is the perfect text notification tone.

My message recieved-ring tone is Sergeant Doakes saying "Surprise motherfucker!".

The real question is why would you have it any other way?

[-] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Obviously you're referring to James Doakes (from the tv show), but I'm now picturing Albert Doakes (from the books) trying to say this. It's much more amusing.

🎶 Doofenschmirtz Evil Incorporaaateeed 🎶, that's why, and that's the only justification needed.

Had an old on and off girlfriend - fantastic body, great sex, mad as a box of minions. Not a healthy relationship and 1.5 years later going nowhere. When she’d call, the iPhone would ring with Alan Parsons Project:

Don't answer me

Don't break the silence, don't let me win

Don't answer me

Stay on your island, don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone

Worked a treat.

I don't understand ever under any circumstances having your phone on anything but vibrate.

[-] PatMustard@feddit.uk 15 points 10 months ago

Because maybe I want to be alerted when my phone goes off?

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Why doesn't vibrate alert you?

If you're being physically active you might not notice the vibrations, it also makes it easier to find when you're aloof and set it somewhere random. If you're dressed in multiple layers you wouldn't notice it, also might not have pockets.

[-] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 10 months ago

What's your point? I'm not going to answer anyway so not even noticing just skips a step

On call schedules, in your gym bag. I imagine the vast majority of them are less attached to their phones and develop habits of leaving it in the other room for a while.

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 4 points 10 months ago

Are you kidding? Vibrate is way worse.

[-] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

No it's not, are you also kidding?

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 7 points 10 months ago

I'm always kidding, but no. Vibrate is way worse ^to me^

Since I own a smart watch my ringer is set to silent 99.99% of the time. A tiny buzz on my wrist is all I need, also no notifications for any type of social media to minimise screen time.

My in-laws on the other hand are both max volume ringtones with vocal-kind of people. It frightens me every time I'm driving with my father-in-law and his phone starts blasting the theme song from the series Outlander on max volume.

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Sing me a song of a past that was gone? Seriously odd ringer choice

[-] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yes and also yes

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 10 months ago

If you have a ringtone in public, you are my enemy. You get a pass if it's because you have an on-call type of job for emergencies. But I'll think you're my enemy because I won't know that.

[-] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Because mine is the Muppets singing Ode to Joy. No further explanation needed.

[-] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

One of my co-workers is a stoic boomer who's in charge of a huge division of the company. His ringtone is the original Mahna Mahna and it cracks me up every single time.

Back when I had a flip phone, I realized that I could use any MP3 as a ringtone. So I used a song from a rhythm game that started with a woman yelling "Attention!"

It was super effective.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

..people still have ringtones?

I had " Diggin on James Brown" by Tower of Power because its a great track, and the friend I assigned it to introduced me to the Music of Tower of Power.

IDK but it's funny to see people jump out of their skin when my mother's phone goes off.😆

[-] uid0gid0@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

My ring tone is the theme from the old Addams Family tv show, and my text notification is the Zelda opening chime.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Trololo guy. Why? Life is absurd.

[-] valen@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Does nyancat have vocals?

Does this count? My reasoning is: BECAUSE I AM MIGHTY AND YOU ARE WEAK
