I always take off my watch when I’m fucking. Feels weird with the algorithm watching.

Why is there a watch that can tell when you’re fucking? Only thing it needs to tell is time.

Eh, people have choices in their watch wear, and you’re welcome to have a fully analog watch. Lots love those. A digital watch can be convenient in multiple ways. Personally I keep my phone silent and so both alarms and notifications usually come over my watch. I also have it watch my sleeping habits, my pulse, and my blood oxygen levels at night.

My watch AFAIK doesn’t have this part, but apple watches can warn you or others if your heart rate is out of range, which can sometimes catch certain issues if the person is susceptible. Of course that gives up some privacy but some people accept that trade off.

I understand fully people not wanting or trusting that stuff, but it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist. Just because I don’t like pickles I don’t believe they shouldn’t exist.

If you take your watch off then it can only be because you’re fucking. The algorithm knows.

Sure. It can know that I am, but that doesn’t mean I want it watching.

What am I missing here? Why “not my family?” Did they mean like “oh no, not my family! How embarrassing for them to see!” It just reads really strange.

It’s a newer type of phrase/way to start a sentence. It’s kind of like a way to call attention to or put extra emphasis on the action taking place.

For example, say I got to an ice cream store and try 10 flavors. I could say “not me trying every flavor before getting a single scoop.”

It kinda adds a sarcastic or lightheated feel to the sentence.

I like your ice cream example, but I’m going to be an old man and say I hate this new phrase lol it reads terribly how they used it.

I’m a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.

So it goes with language, always evolving. It can be hard to keep up, but the kids are just having fun.

It’s a variant of the sarcastic “that couldn’t be me”

e.g.: “Goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before the final exam? That couldn’t be me /s.” -> “Not me goofing off for a week and then cramming the night before”

They put their watches in “wrestling mode” then their parents get notified of when they stopped “wrestling”

Not is the correct word.

If it’s not their family getting the notifications then who is?

How are they going to someone else, And how do we have a picture of it?

This is so confusing

It’s slang grammar. The family are getting the notifications.

The “not” just shows that it is embarrassing for oop (see also the crying emoji).

Imagine oop covering their face with their hands and saying “oh no! Not this! Not my family getting these notifications!”

I think it’s a typo it is meant to start with “Now” instead of “Not”
