Let the AirDrop games begin!

If you’ve ever been to a crowded theme park, concert, or another fun event, you have probably been traumatized by a lovely technology called AirDrop, a feature allowing someone to send you a photo by request. While Airdrop can be very convenient when you get a request from a family member or friend, it can also be quite disconcerting when random people try to airdrop you photos. Let’s give an example.

You’re at a Harry Styles concert: people are screaming and singing all around you and you’re having the best time of your life. You’re recording one of Harry’s iconic ‘Satellite’ stomps on your phone when your video stops and you get the request: “‘Yo Mama’ would like to share a photo.”

News of this nature makes us pause, wide-eyed. We must remember, after all, technology has always been a pandora’s box of chaos.

Here are some of the best things that we have been airdropped. Yet, please remember, you do NOT need to accept anyone’s Airdrop EVER.

As we said, you do NOT need to accept an Airdrop, but if you do or accidentally do, take it with a grain of cloud. Get it?
