Democracy Was a Mistake

asking internet to do democracy = boaty mcboatface

He nailed his own grave by telling them to do something. They'll 100% go wing

Luke: "It's because they think it'll be horrible" Linus: "That can't be the only reason!" So cute seeing a YouTube star's first day on the internet.

A series of Linus and Luke just trying weird phones for a month in the style of the intel/amd gpu switch videos would be great

Luke gets the Fairphone, Linus gets the wing

After over a decade of doing this, Linus should have damn well seen this coming from light years away.

He actually got Lucky. The Unihertz Jelly Star was also quite far up in the rankings.

Linus was really like "with these rules there's no way I can lose" to THE INTERNET 😂

I love how Dan delivered that argument. The organs of younger phones.

Linus expecting his community to take this seriously and not immediately try to make it a joke is actually so funny

Oh I did vote Fairphone and saw it winning. But LG Wing might be too funny NOT to support. I'm going to go change my vote.

Okay, but the Wing is genuinly a Phone I was strongly considering at one point. I think the only reason I didn't get it was because of like carrier support or something like that (or possibly price).

Linus hasn't watched Internet Historian's video on polls.

I'm sitting here thinking, "Wow, that sucks that Chrome OS is becoming the default for the next generation of kids." Then Linus mentions the year of Linux on the desktop, and I'm immediately like, "Oh, maybe this could be a good thing."

Am I the only one that unironically kinda likes the LG Wing? It's more interesting than most other phones out there

The fairphone definitely didn't feel like the interesting option. We already know what to expect and we can pretty much already imagine the video it will result in, which will be something like 'love the repairability but would've benefited from a few modern features'. Meanwhile, who knows whether by using it Linus could find an use for the LG Wing, or get used to its shape. It'd definitely make for a way more interesting review & retrospective because it has chances, though still weak, of deviating from the expected 'this is bad and that's all there is to it' video.

If people can see the numbers before the vote closes, they are more likely to tag along joke votes, same if you can vote on multiple options.

Luke's story about his dad at the altar is one of the funniest LTT moments I have ever heard. I genuinely laughed out loud completely uncontrolled at work. That sounds like something I would do. Thanks, Luke.

I voted for the LG Wing. Didn't even do it as a meme, I just legitimately thought it was a really unique and interesting phone. I also had an LG V20 as my second-most-recent phone and liked it.

Honestly, I want to see Linus daily drive the wing. The phone is unique and cool and deserved some more recognition.
