In a world where tech keeps shrinking (but our collective shame over online shopping sprees does not), this episode tackles the curious rise of mobile phones smaller than a Bourbon biscuit. Why are retailers selling these absurdly tiny devices—perfect for texting, calling, or discreetly challenging prison security rules—without showing how they’ll fit into our lives? I’m diving into the unspoken logistics of fish finger-sized tech, the ethics of coy marketing, and why every product photo should come with a diagram of human anatomy. Spoiler: It’s less about nostalgia, more about… commitment. Plug in, chuckle nervously, and pray your search history never faces a jury.
