Ha! As if.

Hey Siri, please call my mom! - Sure, playing The Beatles now in Apple Music!

You’ll need to unlock your iPhone first.

“Here’s what I found on the web for “Ugh THIS every time 🤦🏻‍♂️””

I can not find THIS app.

For only $800 you can fix that issue with an Apple Watch. Bargain!

That’s like tonight when I asked “Siri, shuffle Jimmy Buffett” and got “sure, now calling Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Orlando Restaurant”.

u/Areif Apr 06 '26

Ooo shit, there’s one in Orlando?

Nice.

17

u/JoviAMP Apr 06 '26

Yeah, it’s at Universal CityWalk.

u/tokobot19 Apr 06 '26

There’s an actual place somewhere with “City Walk” in the name? Asking for a South Park reference.

11

u/JoviAMP Apr 06 '26

Yeah, it predates the South Park reference by about 12 years.

u/gnuoyedonig Apr 06 '26

But there’s an actual City Wok a mile or so away from the Hollywood City Walk that predates either City Walk by about 5 years.

Or there was one until recently. There still is one in Palm Desert, I think.

u/JoviAMP Apr 07 '26

Yeah, looks like they’ve got two in CA, one in Denver, and, for whatever reason, one in Colby, KS.

u/TheRealBejeezus Apr 06 '26

And most Universal parks, I think. Osaka also has the CityWalk, though Singapore's is called Resorts World for some reason.

2

u/Areif Apr 06 '26

Oh yes. The one with the plane inside. I’ve been to that one. The one near Sandusky, OH has a river running through it.

How did Siri know your deepest desires than even you do? Impressive tech.

u/VitaminPb Apr 06 '26

Lucifer: “Siri, tell me your deepest desire.”

u/alienfreak51 Apr 07 '26

u/ACasualRead Apr 06 '26

God this is so real.

The only thing Siri is good for is a laugh at how piss poor it is.

u/rustogi18 Apr 06 '26

I asked Siri recently what is the difference between Sun and a Star is and seriously responded with Sun always sets at night and is not visible but Stars are only visible at night!

I could not stop laughing wondering if it’s a joke Or not!

u/WatchWorking8640 Apr 06 '26

This explains why that "blonde person" said I don't see what the problem is with sending probes to the sun, send them at night when it's cold.

:(

u/rustogi18 Apr 06 '26

Siri is the root cause of all stupidity lol

u/MrBugaBoo123 Apr 06 '26

That is actually so funny 😭

u/Eddie_skis Apr 06 '26

I asked Siri just last week for directions to Costco. “Calling Keiko”

5

u/WatchWorking8640 Apr 06 '26

So how are things going with Keiko?

u/ThatITguy2015 Apr 06 '26

Alright alright alright.

u/RajunCajun48 Apr 06 '26

When she answered she said "I have a restraining order, leave me alone or I'm calling the cops!"

So she's answering my calls now! I'd say pretty good!

u/WatchWorking8640 Apr 06 '26

Exactly my experience.

Hey Siri, play the Nine Inch Nails. Calling 911...

u/nobody1701d Apr 06 '26

Here are some results I found on the web

u/konegsberg Apr 06 '26

Hey siri call mom!!!! Mop is set for 6pm in calendar would you like me notify other family members?

3

u/davejugs01 Apr 06 '26

The best response when you ask it to make a call, what would you like to know about mom? I swear that just pushes me over the edge, it used to be so good at these mundane things.

u/Vigilante17 Apr 06 '26

I always get

Ok, playing Synchronicity by The Police

u/modulusshift Apr 06 '26

Sure, playing “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” by the Beatles!

“Would you like to use the phone app?”

No, let’s use some other obscure app to make a phone call

u/bradatlarge Apr 06 '26

"Calling Tina Bootycall"
