Pretty cool! Might be worth explicitly mentioning that the volume needs to be all the way up for best effect.

A phone is ten to twenty hours of minimum wage, and probably a few hundred kilograms of CO2. Not to mention the stuff stored on it. Of course I'd pick it up.
$145 before taxes are removed for working 20 hours. It would take 97 hours of untaxed minimum wage work to purchase an iPhone 12 mini.
I guess it shows that I only buy used crap phones.

#63I read the title figuratively:
like when something is good quality it blows something out of the water.

Likely inspired by the Apple Watch feature. I’m surprised Apple didn’t build this into their phones as well. Good job!
You're technically not supposed to submerge your iPhone; it voids their warranty. (It drives me mad that they do this in their advertisements, but I guess showing people doing things that would void their device's warranty is not false advertising…)
Only if the white water indicator inside the SIM card port turns red or pink, there’s an O ring around the sim tray to provide the water resistance

#65NSFH warning! Take the title literally. I interpreted the title as "Webapp that creates natural water sound using your phone", so I clicked the play button without realizing this is NOT a water sound. This is a tone that is played which expels water that got into the phone from the speaker, using the outward pressure created by the tone. Really cool idea.

Neat!
Today I Learned, it's Gregorian Chanting and not Georgian Chanting, and it has nothing to do with the country of Georgia.

If you're wondering how effective this is, the Slow Mo Guys has filmed it working in slow motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIEwy8rPik4
Kinda genius, but also kinda make me think that the Apple Watch is useless near water? Lots of people here have said they prefer the Apple Watch to a more dedicated fitness watch (like a Garmin FR 945), but looks like that's only possible in dry conditions.
It can do fitness tracking while swimming, but the main input is a touchscreen so it's not really made to be operated while wet.

#67Now I'm tempted to hold my phone under a stream of water to test this out.

#68> So you've dropped your phone in the toilet, Would you guys pick it up? I am not sure what I would do. Edit: of course, I would not let it clog the drain. I mean would you use it afterward.
Kids orient you to poop in a whole new way. I wouldn’t even think about it. Grab it, wash hands, wash phone, wash hands again.
Fresh kids poop has nowhere near the harmful bacteria adult poop infested toilet water has. Also hope you scrub those fingernails as well and make sure no small open wounds on your hands.

Thanks for that. It seems like they get stripped out by HN, and I don't know a workaround

I feel a bit foolish now. Not sure why I thought that percent encoding wasn't mapped before it was routed by the web server

I was out at a bar and one of my friends came back from the bathroom and said their was a phone in the toilet. We asked what she did and she said she tried to flush it. Since that doesn't really work, the phone was still in the toilet. My wife went in to the bathroom with the girl to get the phone and before my wife could reach in, the girl tried to flush it again! The phone still didn't fit down the toilet so my wif…
Was the flusher drunk too?
Oh yes.
