[Description: Screen shot of a tweet from twitter use at-JoshMankiewicz, Josh Mankiewicz. It is in turn a screenshot of a tumblr post from user polyhymniaagain. The text of the post is "It boggles my mind that somebody paid 44 billion dollars to become the permanent main character of twitter. Say what you will but when Wiliam Randolph Hearst owned a newspaper you could not get away with calling him a little bitch in it. You wanted to call William Randolph Hearst a little bitch you had to go to the trouble of making Citizen Kane."]

not to post a screenshot a tweet screenshoting a tumblr post but the fact that this was posted by the grandson of herman mankiewicz, actual screenwriter of citizen kane, sure is something

11 best autofill texting games for when you're so bored you could cry

Predictive text is at best a time saver, and at worst a life destroyer. 

Most phones now have some function that predicts phrases or words while texting. Apple, for example, uses predictive text "based on your past conversations, writing style, and even websites you visit in Safari." The idea is to make it easier and quicker to send messages, but the algorithm is often finicky or downright embarrassing.

However, some clever people have created prompts to turn this tool into a fun game that often says a little too much about your texting habits. 

Play this texting game with your friends, but just be aware what it may reveal about your phone habits.

1. "I drink"

The term "drinking problem" doesn't begin to cover some of the things predictive text told them they were consuming. 

"I drink" then hit the middle predictive text: I drink a lot and I have to poop till the end and I have a dollar on the battle of my heart for the rest and my life will never stop the game.

— CinnamonToastKen (@cinnamontoastk) July 4, 2018

I drink cactus and I will be there at the same time as the other one

— Toromaniac (@BerryToro) July 4, 2018

I drink my water bottle of vodka in the car so I’m glad I did it but I wanna do you..... oh god

— Hayley (@HayleyTries) July 4, 2018

2. Horoscope mayhem

Hank Green prompted his followers to let predictive text be their zodiac guide. The results were as disastrous as you could imagine. 

PREDICTIVE TEXT HOROSCOPE: (Your Sign), this month is a great time to (predictive text), but watch out for people who (predictive text.)

— Hank Green ⌨️📗2️⃣👍 (@hankgreen) March 20, 2018

Libra, this month is a great time to go to the store, but watch out for people who ate a bit of the investors.

— M(illenial)inda (@melinda_staup) March 20, 2018

Aries, this month is a great time to go get back with ya dude, but watch out for people who love ya dude.

— Emma Singer (@emmaunaltered) March 20, 2018

3. "I'm marrying an"

This prompt led to more than a few marriages to inanimate objects.

Type "i'm marrying an" and let your keyboard reveal it i'm marrying an idiot

— 🧞‍♂️🧞‍♂️ (@YassMaryam) January 15, 2019

I'm marrying an avocado.

— ◟̽◞̽ Larry enthusiast 💚💙 (@1Dupdate28) January 19, 2019

I’m marrying an alien instead of a zombie warrior with a great way to get my hair done.

— Tomb Svalborg (@tombness) January 21, 2019

4. You zodiac sign plus "and that's why"

A lot of these tweets were strangely on brand for the different signs.

Stealing this from Russian twitter: Type “I am a *your zodiac sign* and that’s why...” and let your autofill finish it. I am a cancer and that’s why I am so sorry I didn’t know what to do

— CAKE MOM 🔪 (@motherofcakes) March 1, 2019

i am a pisces and that’s why i am baby

— mei (@swtchbIde) March 2, 2019

I am a Scorpio and that’s why y’all are still in the hospital... 👀

— Christina Parker (@c_parkr) March 1, 2019

5. "Sex is"

Several people ended up being told that sex is "a great place to work" by their phones. 

type “sex is” and let ur keyboard finish your sentence mine: sex is your favorite place in your mind

— ‎ ‎ً (@grandegoalsx) February 25, 2019

Sex is a good place to work for a week and a half a week ago and we have a problem with the heating and heating and heating and heating and heating and heating and heating and heating 😂😂😂😂 wtf

— Adrian (@InCarldibleHulk) February 25, 2019

sex is not allowed in a taxi

— 𝐦𝐢𝐚 💍 fb or i unf (@notearstocryy) February 25, 2019

6. Epitaphs

This thread is the perfect blend of morbid and hilarious for the dark humorist in your life. 

How about we use predictive text to write our own epitaphs? Write “Here lies [YOUR NAME]. [preferred pronoun] was...” and let your phone finish the rest. Mine is: Here lies Alexander Zalben. He was clearly not wrong.

— Alex Zalben (@azalben) January 1, 2018

Here lies Stephani Adair. She was going to call you after work today and will not be able to.

— Stephani (@stephani06) January 1, 2018

Here lies Josh Mankiewicz. He washed the whole house.

— Josh Mankiewicz (@JoshMankiewicz) January 1, 2018

7. Introduce yourself

Some were spot on, and some couldn't have been more wrong.

my name is Eve I was born in the UK my age is a bit more than I expected I like to see whales (im crying wow) pic.twitter.com/vQpMz4mebA

— 🕊️ (@soulpunkps) February 14, 2019

— Marshal Ustinov (@marshalustinov) February 14, 2019

My name is Jocelyn I was born to be the best My age is literally just too many hours I like to see what you gotta do about it

— Castrator Ginsberg (@Jostle_in) February 16, 2019

8. Predictive valentines

Turns out artificial intelligence isn't as romantic as we thought... shocker.

Time for predictive valentines! Type "Roses are red" and let predictive text finish your poem. (It's free verse.) Mine is: "Roses are red and white and yellow in the essay that I am referring to as the main source for this." Extremely romantic!

— Wren Wallis (@invisibleinkie) February 10, 2019

Roses are red wine beer and cheese fries for lunch.

— Travis Vigneau (@Daily_Fails) February 12, 2019

Roses are red and white in the middle of the recent change in Federal law regarding Marijuana Hmm ok

— Gwenagain (@gwenthing) February 11, 2019

9. "Hey look ma I made"

We're sure many mothers were less than impressed by these responses. 

type “hey look ma i made” then let predictive text determine the rest hey look ma i made you happy and proud to have a wonderful life

— 💀mama rae💀 115 (@anathema_hxlsey) February 4, 2019

Hey look ma I made it home early so I’m just sitting in the middle of the floor.

— Giana🌱 (@melsrockcandy) February 4, 2019

hey look ma i made my afternoon look like a beautiful man wtfff???

10. 2019 goals

If these are any prediction of how 2019 will go then no one is safe. 

How about we predictive text our 2019 goals? Just type “In 2019 I am going to” and then mash that center button. Here’s mine: “In 2019 I am going to the store.” Seems legit.

— Alex Zalben (@azalben) January 1, 2019

In 2019 I am going to go back to the house to get my money and then I will be back. Um ok....

— Mirna Valerio (@TheMirnavator) January 3, 2019

In 2019 I’m going tomorrow to get to the hotel room for a few days and I will have a schedule and then I just got to go go (this is my life lol)

— Barclay Stockett (@BarclayStockett) January 3, 2019

11. "You should follow me on Twitter because"

Most of these are not good reasons.

Type "you should follow me on Twitter because" and use predictive text to finish the sentence

— 🌻Elle 🐈 Gato🌻 (@ellle_em) January 6, 2019

You should follow me on Twitter because you have a good idea of how long it takes to get a couple of things from the science store. 😂

— Anita Pearson (@pommyanita) January 7, 2019

You should follow me on Twitter because you are unable to find the receipt and I will send you a cheat list for your kindness. 😅👍

Happy texting!

Smith and Wollensky Steakhouse - Columbus, Ohio

A unique and very special episode with a funny and entertaining interview with our favorite Dateline NBC reporter, Josh Mankiewicz! (@JoshMankiewicz) Coming to you from Smith & Wollensky in Columbus, Ohio, the One Hit Wonder is a nod to Dateline, Haddaway’s “What is Love,” or “Baby Don’t Hurt Me.”

Sal and Bob are huge fans of Dateline, and Josh’s reporting, so they ask questions they think other fans want to know the answers to. Josh talks about why Dateline is so compelling, quoting his colleague and fellow Dateline reporter Dennis Murphy, that “It’s not about the murder. It’s about the marriage.” Josh talks about the “CSI Effect,” which highlights how today’s jurors are affected by crime science portrayed on television, saying that OJ would probably be convicted today.

Bob asks if Josh has a favorite episode that resonated with him and gave him personal satisfaction. Josh shares one where a wrongfully convicted man was helped, in part, by Dateline’s dramatization of the facts, and was ultimately cleared of wrongdoing and freed from prison.

Sal and Josh talk about how there's an art to the interview process, and how families of murdered loved ones want to tell the story of the victim, and how Dateline helps them do that. Josh talks about the challenges in interviewing law enforcement officials. People have asked Josh if he’s scared when he interviews murderers, and his response is that he is not. Partly because it’s in a prison where the fight has gone out of the killer, and partly because the murderers want to tell their story, too.

All the guys laugh about Bill Hader’s impression of Josh, and Sal wonders how Dateline gets the “pensive” shots of the guilty drinking coffee by a window. Josh says one of the trickiest parts of the show is to keep the secret of someone’s guilt or innocence until the right time in the story. They wrap things up by agreeing to meet for a steak dinner at The Golden Steer, The Met, Michael’s Gourmet Room, Manny’s Steakhouse, or somewhere else road warriors meet. What a fun, entertaining, and insightful episode with the very gracious and funny Josh Mankiewicz.

Watch Dateline on NBC: FRI 10/9c SAT 8/7c, 9/8c
