For context, this was back during that stupid time when people could buy Xitter authentication.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 75 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Xitter

My apologies, but it’s Twitter for as long as that cock-sucking, ball-gargling, butt-plug-looking, fascist-asshole-of-a-non-tax-paying illegal immigrant piece-of-shit anal-bead-wannabe motherfucker who needs to get the Hell out of our goddamned country is alive and walking free.

[–] greenskye@lemm.ee 70 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Xitter is pronounced 'shitter' I'm pretty sure

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

That's how I will always pronounce it.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I like to call it ex-twitter

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (5 children)

The Gulf of America was really about Elon being salty bc we still call it Twitter, watch

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

This is not toward you at all, but what in the ever loving is he out of his goddamned mind to think his feelings matter to us at all?

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (4 children)

He's a desperate autistic nerd who has unhealthy attitudes about love and companionship, everything he does is a cry for attention. He's honestly one of the cringiest people imaginable to me. He 100% needs people to think he's cool, which is as un-cool as it gets. The man is failing middle school social dynamics. Hell, elementary school dynamics. He's just so rich he can barge in anywhere he wants and force himself on a conversation.

It's pathetic. He's going to go down as one of the biggest fucking losers in history.

And for the record, I've got nothing against autistic nerds. I may well be one myself, and I know many. But this tool embodies the worst of it run rampant with power, and should serve as a cautionary tale.

...I'm kinda glad Lemmy is small right now because I have reason to be more cautious with my speech on public media these days. Although, if course, this will be used to crucify me later if needed.

I get that you are trying to degrade and demoralize him, but please be aware that many of the insults and words you are using are offensive to various groups of people.. for example, my wife is a cock sucker, are you comparing my wife to this creep?

[–] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I choose this guys cock-sucking wife

Can you please not bring ball gags, butt plugs and anal beads into this topic, that's derogatory for these to be compared with that deformed mouldy balding shithead.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I second the motion. Sex kinks are ok as long as you're not hurting anyone, fucking the whole country without consent is not ok

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

Twitter.com still brings you to the website, i imagine the trademark is still registered

So it is still correct to call it that

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 3 months ago

I don't think Xitter authentication existed in 1954...

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

...isn't that still the case? They took it away, changed the color or something, and brought it back, didn't they?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought that was still ongoing? When did they revert the change?

You could buy Xitter authentication in 1954? 🤔

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

Can't people still buy the blue check?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 110 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was honestly surprised they casually acknowledged it like that

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)
[–] sowitzer@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Parody accounts. Both tweets are in fact real tweets. As we can see.

Actually strike that. I don’t know that. There are ways to alter pictures so I guess it could be fake in that they never were twated out by anyone on the site.

Chiquita is a bad exploiting brand

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago (3 children)

At this point you might as well just assume every corporation is shit and be pleasantly surprised when you look them up.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I mean, yeah, but Chiquita/United Fruit are on a whole different level. They're the ones who single-handedly destabilized a whole region, funding multinational death squads, coups and shit. That's the whole joke.

Edit: to be honest, anyone unfamiliar with this period should brush up on it. This was the last time the US truly functioned as an empire (or tried to), and the key arguments are going to be the same now as they were then.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That's the whole joke.

It's not very funny.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

No :( it's not. The legacy is very grim, and ongoing.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 months ago

Wanna hear a good joke?

Nobody speak, nobody get choked.

[–] oxytocin@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

It's still good to mention it, when they are mentioned. I mean, otherwise we just normalise that status.

It's been 50 years, Chiquita should treat itself

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] overworkedandundersane@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

It's been 30 years, Chiquita should treat itself.

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 5 points 3 months ago

Plot twist: A whistleblower denounces that Chiquita was the major Trump campaign supporter.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I miss the week where Twitter essentially allowed free speech for $15 before they shut it down after everyone immediately clowned on every single corporation and celebrity in existence.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If aliens could judge us, they'd say: "So you are telling me, that humans have killed each other for imaginary lines on the ground; in the name of feckless leaders who don't give a fuck about you; and bananas?"

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bananas are at least understandable, we gotta eat

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 3 months ago

Or hoard if you’re Donkey Kong.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago
[–] lennee@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

And thats why im not buying ur stupid bananas

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Oh, not since 1954, well excuse me! :P
