Lately, a lot of smartphones have been exploding. Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 keeps blowing up, and there’s a rumor going around that one of the new iPhone 7’s may have combusted in the box.
Here’s the thing, though: an exploding smartphone may be exactly what I’ve always wanted. Sure, the US government might have announced a massive recall of Samsung’s devices (something about “serious burn hazard”), and you can’t use them or even charge them on airplanes. But I realized that, more often than not, I would be happy to see my smartphone blow up, burning itself and/or the people around me.
Here are a few times when it would be absolutely great:
Anyway, the more I think about it, having an exploding smartphone will be super useful! Ideally it could explode more than once. Maybe I’ll buy several. If it goes well, I might even consider an exploding washing machine, too—great for that moment when you realize your entire wardrobe is terribly uncool.
