A funeral for voicemail - The Oatmeal

Hahahaha, have my upvote.

Yea, we don’t bother at work. You know I called, don’t waste your time listening to a message. If I called, it was urgent, get back to me as quick as you can.

Otherwise I’m gonna send you a message to setup a call.

Yeah I love voicemail. It’s an easy way to tell if I need to return a call or it was a scam

[ilovethebomb@lemm.ee]

I want to sit down with the person who brought voice notes to Hinge, and ask them why the fuck they thought dating by voicemail was a good idea.

That drawing style remind me of the card game with the explosives and the kittens.

If you’re a usual person, then “boo-hoo, people are so scared to be blocked by you”.
If you’re a moderator or something, you’re evil and unfit the position.

cries in Lemmy

[the_real_monte@sh.itjust.works]

That’s because The Oatmeal made that game

[empricorn@feddit.nl]

That’s me. I’ve been typing out all your messages and you don’t even seem to appreciate it! My fingers hurt…

I love getting transcripts and then returning the call that goes to their voicemail.

[bearofatime@lemm.ee]

Why thank you!

Voicemail is dead, long live the voice message.

[hmonkey@lemy.lol]

How do you screen phone calls without voicemail?

[whithom@discuss.online]

I do love the oatmeal, but everything he does now is just for money. He’s probably just got a team of writers at this point.

[bdonvr@thelemmy.club]

I get tons of spam calls and basically zero spam voicemail ‍️

Plus with most carriers being able to transcribe voicemails I don’t even need to listen to them.

[stinky@redlemmy.com]

Private or unknown number? Assuming my phone is on. Please think.

[emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de]

What makes you say that? The website seems way less ad heavy or monetized than most webcomic sites. I dont even see a link for a patreon or any sort of paywall. Theres one trailer for his netflix show but thats barely even self promotion, and doesnt come close to the shameless levels of nearly begging that a lot of webcomic artists do.

[spacenoodle@lemmy.world]

Your phone will show the phone number of the person who left the voicemail. Please think.

Not every number is private or unknown. Please think.

[dumbass@leminal.space]

Are these people just raw dogging phones calls?

[monument@lemmy.sdf.org]

I send all unknown calls to voice mail. I’ve had my carrier disable voice mail for my phone line.
My providers all use email or are ‘known’ by my phone. … I hope.
