What is wrong with straight people? Are they okay?

What is wrong with straight people? Are they okay?
Why are y’all taking this seriously?
There’s no hope for any who do.
there are a non zero amount of straight guys who saw this and will never tap their card ever again
Doesn’t make this any less of an obvious joke
There is nothing more fragile than the masculinity of “bros” who worship masculinity.
For true contactless payment I do neither. I just hover my card / handset near the reader.
Is there something I should know about myself?
Yes. That you should be waving it over the reader and saying “you don’t require payment” loud enough for the cashier to hear
this isn’t the credit card you’re looking for
It makes you tripple gay
When I was a cashier, there was definitely a subset of people - usually the same people wearing maga hats - who did refuse to use the tap. They believed it was insecure. I looked it up, it’s slightly more secure than the chip (if only because contactless systems are not yet susceptible to counterfeit card reader attachments).
It was pretty annoying too, because I was frequently stationed at a register that had a broken chip reader. Some people would get frustrated very quickly and, like, start rage-jamming the card into the machine repeatedly. It’s kind of scary how many people go from 0-60 unhinged at checkout.
After learning about the security aspect, and because of that broken reader, I made it a point to educate everyone I could about the tap. A lot of people aren’t even aware their card can do that stuff.
I exercise ultimate security by just having no money. If anybody manages to open the Pandora’s Box that is my bank account, best of luck to them.
I’ve set up a cognitohazard in my bank account. Anyone who looks into it is disassembled into their component parts and sold off to appease my rampaging bank fees.
It’s more secure to have a card that can’t do the tap
Do you have evidence for this?
Yes, I work with the things. Skimmers can steal a bunch of personal info and possibly vault your card (although that would tie the charge down to a payment processor and could flag the risk mechanisms, so it’s not likely to go on for long)
But you can charge people smaller amounts and set it up to not require a pin, then it’ll return back the name on the card and a bunch of other stuff, like the last 4 digits on the card, card issuer, and expiration date
I’m sure you could walk through a busy city and get enough names to make that sellable to scammers, or leave skimmers around long term
How is it more secure? Surely needing the card + pin is more secure than just carrying the card its self.
So from what I remember, the chip and the tap use pretty much the same authentication systems under the hood. They’re pretty identical in that way. The pin number and how that’s implemented is kind of a joke, because every card reader has ways to accept a payment from a card without even needing the pin (usually). Still better to use a pin of course, and that’s something the tap supports too.
Like I said before, right now a common threat to chip cards is spoof devices that criminals try to surreptitiously install onto legitimate card readers. Like a hardware keylogger basically. So - and as far as I know, this might not even be true anymore - the one main advantage the tap has over the chip is that it is not susceptible to these spoof reader devices.
i only ever tapped my card---- despite some times where it didnt work-
anyway - this is almost certainly a joke kinda post ~ ~
If I pay cash, does that make me nonbinary?
No, it makes you suspicious. Only criminals pay in cash, and the FBI wants to ask you a few questions.
The FBI can ask as many questions as they like. They’re over there, and I’m over here.
Depends, do you gayly slide it over or do you slam it on the counter, breaking it?
How does one slam a bill on the counter breaking it?
Ohhhhh… Were you talking about breaking the counter?
The bill collides into the counter with such force that both immediately disintegrate into a cloud of hot plasma.
Hot damn
How does one slam a bill on the counter breaking it?
Forcefully. /j
No dad it’s not hormones I just accidentally tapped my card at the store and instantly grew a set of boobs.
This pairs well with my draft article “Penetration fascination slows wireless charging adoption”
Paying for things is feminine. You should punch the cashier and shout “this is mine!” like a real man.
/s, obviously
Pay the iron price
Instructions unclear, my penis is stuck in a card reader and I have a lifetime ban from Chipotle.
Can someone make a shitty shop of a card reader with a card in it and a aheago face please?
Sure thing
I hear the newer versions now like it in the receipt hole.
Also: who needs AI…a text prompt leading to the creation of a new image. You’ve seen it here folks.
Topic, I love you it’s perfect!
Thank you, its beautiful
Is this satire?
Given the wording “confident and penetrative thrust”, I think it must be satire.
I checked out the Twitter account. I think it’s clearly a joke, but the guy is a big Trump supporter so I’d say he does ultimately believe the rhetoric behind the joke. Therefore, not satire.
I overestimate people…
I fucking hope so
But I suspect it isn’t.
As a straight person, I can safely say “no”. Please send help
broke: tapping your card
woke: thrusting it
bespoke: not making any contact with the terminal to assert dominancebespoke: not making any contact with the terminal to assert dominance
Doesn’t tapping fall under that?
Tapping implies making contact, in my brain at least. Tap = sound = contact
And if you hover instead of tap?
That’s edging.
Kinky
