At least this one's the right dimensions...

It's never the correct font. You would think that if someone was going to produce fake iPhone conversations they would at least use the proper font!

[–]masedizzle 8 points9 points ago

And yet people keep upvoting these things.

It's not even like it's a hard font to match. It's fucking Helvetica for chrissakes.

[–]Willeth 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Helvetica costs money, and most people can't tell the difference.

[–]bradn 1 point2 points ago

Expand it to a bitmap font at the size you want to use and then the copyright doesn't apply (at least in the US - Europe is likely different). You can't copyright glyphs but apparently you can copyright the truetype "programs" that create them.

I don't even have an iPhone and can now recognise the incorrect font used for texting in these conversations.

It really doesn't matter if these are the right font or not.

  1. They are never funny.

  2. They are usually reposts.

  3. Who fucking cares about your personal interactions with someone via text message?

[–]tasko 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They care if it's related to carl sagan or steve jobs apparently. Sometimes they're mildly amusing but even the ones that some people upvote to the front page or close are kinda circlejerky.

[–]kabukisteve 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There's a website that can create these posts for you and it always uses this font. Easy way to tell if they're fake or not, as this one clearly is.

[–]uvpote 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You can tell most of these are fake because no one even talks like that through texting.

Seriously? Downvote this, guys. Fake iphone conversations aren't funny.

[–]yiyus 11 points12 points ago

Ok, I downvoted you, but I don't understand why fake conversations cannot be funny. I find it a quite convenient way to post jokes.

[–]hobofats 10 points11 points ago

I find it a quite karma whorish way to post jokes.

/r/funny

OH THE HUMANITY!

[–]hobofats 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

if their true intent were to just share the joke, why go through the extra effort of creating the fake conversation and uploading it to imgur?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

At this point, it's more of a format to post jokes in, like facebook conversations. Some jokes are better executed on those formats then in any others.

It's the same as making a self post claiming to have said/heard a friend say that. It's bullshit, but funny.

I don't really like them being fake, but the jokes are still amusing to me.

[–]WiiMachinE 0 points1 point ago

Every time someone complains about these types of posts it makes me think of this scene.

[–]Jackle13 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What exactly is karma whoring? Trying to get upvotes? Why is that bad? People will upvote the format that they find funniest. I suppose you could say it's the free market of reddit.

[–]flounder19 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

to run with that analogy, market's need regulation. Otherwise, people would lie about their products to the consumers. For example, a company could say free trade when it knows damn well that it isn't.

Fake iphone and facebook statuses like this are the immoral marketing strategies of a website where everything's made up and the points don't matter.

[–]youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah I'm with you. I don't understand why "karma whoring" is even a thing. Why would I care if someone gets more imaginary points?

Besides, I'll freely admit that I'm way more likely to click something from imgur than a self post. It usually loads faster and even if the joke sucks, the visual presentation is probably better.

[–]Akinera 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If it's not real then it can't be funny, just like if the singer isn't real then it's not real music. /sarcasm

You posted a picture of a text you sent, trying to make sure everyone knows you're hilarious? Also if you fucktards don't feel like trying to find the correct font, send a text to yourself (you can change the name to whatever you want) then delete duplicate portions of the convo and take your screen cap. FFS this isn't rocket science. Oh and before I forget: DOWNVOTED!

What looked like pushing...what looked like knocking down...was a safety precaution! In a fire, you stay close to the ground, am I right? And when I ran out that door, I was not leaving anyone behind! Oh, quite the contrary! I risked my life making sure that exit was clear. Any other questions?
