Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

must be an apple thing lol i have never had this happen
Yeah, USB cables that became defective for me either had a damaged plug in micro-usb times or they had internal breaks after intense and frankly pretty rough use.
Which brands do you say are longlasting?
idk basically any USB cable. It's rare that they fail for me in general, though I have a couple that have given out, and I've seen this happen to other people, but I've never had it happen to me.
Perhaps anecdotal, but I try to avoid unplugging by pulling the wire whenever possible and I also try not to bend it near the connector if I'm using it while charging.
I've had it happen with a few Lenovo laptop chargers. Razer mice though, were especially bad at this 10 years ago. Haven't owned a Razer product since then though, but I'd go through 2 cables per year because of this. Haven't lost a single cable since changing to other brands though.
Man, we had some dell WSD19 docks that were pushing like 90 or 120w through USB-C and those things would rarely last more than a year.
I think around 2016 is when Razer really went down the toilet. There was a time when they built good quality hardware, but they're just enshittified garbage with a flashy hue cycle now.
