It's all about the phrasing.

Other things that suffer from this have been listed in memes.

"Butt dial." Vs. "Booty call"

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." Vs. "Sorry Daddy, I've been a bad girl."

Although you can make it menacing again if you just State the amount of time and give them a thumbs up.

"1,440 minutes" 👍

"Take one of these every evening for the next 40 years"
