dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

they could have cell service for a call or text but not data and data would be needed for a map app. Although I think they could have thought ahead and downloaded an offline map of the area and maybe that would work with GPS and no data service.

But than again, GPS in the mountains might be not so good when you are in a valley or something

Mobile phone location data is almost never satellite GPS, they universally use cellular tower triangulation
