Loving the chaotic evil energy at play here.
Play the Pornhub sound and watch every teen in the family get a Pavlovian response.
The cleanup is so messy though.
It's gonna be a sordid family affair.
I just wanna go up to the teens table and ask them what 6-7 is and watch their reaction

Hate seeing this punchable face. Don't normalize him.
Don't normalise him? He's the president...? I don't think a Lemmy boycott of reaction pics is gonna sway much.
Or the Truth Social theme to root out pedophiles
Absolutely here for the chaos
Pro tip: You can customize the notification sound ~~now, even on the free tier~~ at the OS level. Don't tell the conservatives.
My phone is on 24/7 silent mode so I'm not up to date, but isn't this something you could do on the OS level?
Ah, my bad! You're right. I completely forgot I set it via the notifications panel on Android.
I'm going to play the grindr sound if I ever come across you
come across you
Are we still doing phrasing?
Absolutely
If you have freedom OS, definitely
What person under 50 even has notification sound turned on?
That is legitimately thoughtful! That will keep plenty of users safe without them having to "closet" the app by muting it. It wouldn't have crossed my mind to do that. Nice job, Grindr!
What does that noise sound like?
Do different apps have different notification sounds? I'm a vibrate only person but I thought a notification sound was a notification sound, not some custom ring tone.
I'm a sounder. I'll take sounding over the vibrator every time!
Can someone pass the eye bleach? I need to unsee this comment bad
Best I can do is hand you a smooth bore flintlock pistol.
Ah yes, brain bleach.
ig it depends on OS? like maybe on IOS apps can choose their own sound? i always had a system wide notification tone on android
Android has a default notification sound, which you can change in the srttings, and most apps will not overwrite that. But apps have the option to have a different one. Snapchat for example has a custom one.
It's pretty surprising that an app like Grindr would make use of that option, I think they have a high amount of users that would like to avoid others knowing they use the app.
On Android some apps have their own notification sounds, too. It's very common with chat apps and other social apps (dating, language exchange, that kind of thing) and some very annoying games that earn a pretty quick disable or uninstall from me.

"brrrroink"
I have an uncle who's a homosexual "pray away the gay" ultra conservative Christian currently married to a woman. Scummiest most hateful bigoted abuser I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. He recently had a heart attack, unfortunately he recovered, but I would like to give satan another shot at the soul he's owed. Alas, I moved leagues away to get away from those people so no dice. Good idea to bank though.
Now I feel a need to know: does Grindr really have a custom notification noise, one that sounds different from any other app!?
Yes it does. The notification noise is actually linked in a couple of other comments in this thread. I'm ace so I've never used the app personally but it's rather distinctive to at least my ear and unlike any notification noise I've ever heard in a default Android environment. idk about Apple, but after hearing the noise myself I 100% believe that anyone who has used that app for any appreciable amount of time would absolutely recognize that notification noise immediately.
I've seen a buncha stories similar to this one about people freaking out thinking it's coming from their phone. I have to imagine it's some big unique thing that puts you in mind of half naked navy sailors swabbing the deck to show tunes or something with how often I've seen it refrenced

Fucking lol, I thought this would be a little two second clip of the grindr ring tone, glad I actually clicked
bluetooth speaker taped under someone's seat ought to do it
Like a political fart machine
Bonus points if you make this trick work during grace without everyone looking at you immediately.
that's the best time to maximize psychological damage.
or the pornhub drum sting lol
getting dragged to a conservative religious conference, will try
