usually by naptime mines down to like 30-40% and the nap is about right to get it back to ~80ish. Mines pretty old though I guess it’s different with newer ones and fast charging.
Yeah, but even without network time updates your device’s internal clock is probably accurate enough to be able to tell if 2 years have passed or not. If it has an error of ≥2 years per 2 years, you need a new clock.
No. Many certificates are only valid for a couple months to years into the future. Many websites wont work if you set your system time to +5 years, because most certificates won’t be valid for that time.
It would depend on how long the joke goes on and to what extreme.
“5 minutes super confused, until I look at my phone” = okay
"An elaborate prank where she changed all the dates that lasts 20 minutes = okay
“A day of being told my family died, world ended, etc” = not okay.
As someone who doesn’t like April Fools’, I see your point. This plays with the trust of their relationship. However, if the trust is solid and there is a mutual understanding of how they can play with that trust, it’s probably fine.
I guess it depends on the couple, e.g. how frequently they joke in a similar manor, what they know about their trigger points or if there is a hidden struggle for power. I think for most couples this would be a harmless prank both can laugh about and kiss afterwards.
Honestly I would be angry too. But then after I would have completely woken up I would laugh about it. And think of a payback. Maybe even something involving a moist, cold sponge.
My brother-in-law once put a slice of bread on my sleeping sister’s stomach, and when their dog (a very gluttonous beagle) started chowing down, woke her up by shaking her while shouting “the dog is eating your flesh!”
He’s great. There’s a reason he became my best friend after they married.
Am I the only one that would probably be gaslit into believing it and be really really pissed off when I learned the truth?
The year can be easily checked online and you usually keep your phone besides you on the night stand
Are you an idiot? After 2 years my battery would be dead.
The girlfriend would keep it charged, dummy
You don’t plug your phone in during your naps?
No, I don’t want to overcharge it.

I just had my battery replaced, so it works like new.
I’d think it was funny because without a lot more evidence I wouldn’t believe it true.
Don’t get me wrong some pranks are dick moves, but, this… nah
Or after you spend a few minutes waking up and realizing you’re in the same clothes, in the same spot, and none of your stuff has moved.
Funny thing, you probably couldn’t actually. None of the current TLS certificates would be valid in a couple of years
Yeah, but even without network time updates your device’s internal clock is probably accurate enough to be able to tell if 2 years have passed or not. If it has an error of ≥2 years per 2 years, you need a new clock.
The premise was that the spouse set the phone clock into the future. That has nothing to do with how accurate the RTC is (usually <10s/day)
Websites can renew those

Yeah but I’m dumb

Idk, I think I’d be impressed by the effort for that last one
I straight up wouldn’t buy it, but, if I did, I’d love it.

Oddly specific… Tell us more about this moist, cold sponge.
It’s very versatile. It can be used as a threat, a sudden shock or long term torture. I’m not comfortable going into further detail.

I think it’d be funny. But different strokes for different folks, I reckon.
Yes, yes you are. And I sincerely hope for the women around you that you’re single. That’s not healthy and you should probably seek counseling.
Ah yes another psychiatrist diagnosing people through a single comment online.
Jumping to conclusions on little to no evidence is a bigger red flag than a person who blindly trusts their partner when abruptly shaken awake.
We can’t all be perfect like you
