We built a machine to fold the iPhone Duo until it breaks. Twenty days of 24/7 folding later, Apple's phone shows the first major sign of wear.

      If you’re opening and closing your phone 400,000 times in three weeks you should probably just get a fidget spinner

        That’s about 22 folds every waking minute. A fidget toy will only mitigate the problem. What you really need is therapy or even medication to fix a problem like that.

          Ok, fair point.

          But Apple could do better.

          What if I want to fidget the fucker.

          What if I want to fuck the fidgeter.

          But I digress, I just hope to shove my erect penis between the succulent, ridged folds and gyrate for a while for the sake of science.

          Woke fucking NSF cut off my research funding. Sorry. I’m currently processing some shit.

            Don’t feel silly, I just found out about this a couple of weeks ago. I’ve already saved a few thousand dollars—almost enough to buy more RAM for my boy Sam!
