I’m sorry, but due to cultural norms the name Twitter is rooted deep within our modern language.

- [THE DARK URGE] Imagine feeding Elon to a large flightless bird.

Narrator: You imagine throwing a burlap sack over his head. His underlings would be displeased about it, but he wouldn’t put up much of a fight himself.

I started a DU playthrough and laughed almost as hard as I alt-F4ed the first time I picked one of those fantasize options and saw what happened. 10/10 addition
grue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What game has “THE DARK URGE” dialogue options? I was imagining Fallout before, but this makes me think it must be some newer one.
SinkingLotus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I very quickly learned not to trust the Dark Urge to stop at imagining the act.

I’d delete my save if I hit this option, just to be sure.

The problem is, is that if you engage with anyone outside of the internet, they have no fucking idea what you’re talking about when you call it “X”.
It’s so fucking stupid of a name. Even worse than Facebook changing to Meta.
You can ask people to call it “X” all day, every day, but you can’t just change the name of your brand/product to a single letter, that people use every day for other things, and expect it to work out for you.
homura1650@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Facebook the product is still Facebook. The only name that changed was that of the company that owns Facebook, which makes sense as that holding company also runs other products like Instagram.
Google made a similar move in 2015 when it created Alphabet to hold the non Google parts of Google.
In both cases the renaming was on the coorporate side. They made no effort to loose the old trademark, and continue to operate under it today.
The only high profile case that comes to mind that is simmilar to Twitter is when Comcast rebranded itself as Xfinity in 2010. In that case, it worked because: A) Comcasts reputation was way worse than Twitters and B) people don’t have that much of an option anyway. In the otherhand, the rebranding failed in the sense that everyone still knows them as Comcast.
Pinklink@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I honestly thought Comcast just bought xfinity at some point. Also fuck xfinity
mgiuca@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Largely true but as a small aside, Google is still a company (within Alphabet). Alphabet is purely a corporate structure, and all branding still has Google on it. Whereas Facebook is now only a product, Meta is the company brand with its own logo and products named directly after it (like Meta Quest).
visak@lemmy.world 1 year ago
In defense of Zuckerberg – and there’s something I never thought I’d say – they changed the name of the company so that they could introduce new brands. They were not dumb enough to rebrand the successful products. It’s just now Facebook by Meta.
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
Oculus quest, though I guess it wasn’t actually a success

When I go to x.com I end up on twitter.com
So Elon says it’s X but my browser still says it’s Twitter

That’s funny, when I do it I end up on nitter.net
zikk_transport2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Just listen to musk and do what he says - stop calling it twitter.
We can brainstorm other names. For example, latelly I’ve been preferring twatter. xD
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
I personally prefer xitter, pronounced as shitter
mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 1 year ago
GTA IV had a Tw@t Internet Cafe so I’ve always kind of thought of it like that.
Threeme2189@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m partial to Twixxer myself
Savvy95@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I like calling id xD
thechadwick@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m so tired of these woke CEOs and their snowflake whining over misgendering their companies. There’s the name that a company is assigned at birth, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to change the way I’ve always called them (for my whole life and ALL of god-fearing Christian history) because some liberal snowflake CEO one-day wakes up and simply declares, “twitter is now X” ffs.
The facts of the
birthincorporation certificate, DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS little pissant mUsK… GET OVER IT!/s since satire is dead.
HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Mr. Pibb, Dr. Robotnik, Sierra Mist, I’m not using your woke “Pibb Extra, Dr. Eggman, Starry” nonsense!
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wait… Sierra Mist rebranded? I missed that
Nepenthe@kbin.social 1 year ago
Oh, that's what that was about? I honestly just assumed Starry was some crap knock-off that the restaurant just happened to have that day. Not really sure what the motive would be or why they'd think the reaction to a rebrand of a nearly 20yr old product would be any other assumption. I'm going to disagree with them.
lennybird@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ugh, it hurts that there are losers out there who say this shit unironically.

“The Chaser” is a satire site. You’re getting really angry over something that never happened.

Legend says if you say Twitter 13 times inside of a Tesla at 4:20am, Elon Musk will appear inside the car
MentalEdge@lemmy.world 1 year ago
More likely that the autopilot kicks in, locks the doors, and drives into a lake.

That’s going to happen anyway when he enables The Code, he just has to wait for enough people to buy them to save the climate he’s actively helping destroy with rockets, then he gets all them tree hugger no good hippies in one go!

X is a fucking stupid name
ilickfrogs@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, X is a letter. But it doesn’t matter what you call a shitty product, it’s still a shitty product. I’ll also keep calling it twitter.
acausal_masochist@awful.systems 1 year ago
More Fun In The New World was great though.
xcxcb@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Sure Elon, I can provide this service to you for just $8/month. It’s great value honestly, I have expenses to continue to run my life and just $8 will happily contribute towards that.
happyhippo@feddit.it 1 year ago
Double that and you can rest assured that the X I will pronounced will be verified to have come out of my own mouth. Not someone else’s, mine.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m bad at math, but Elon Musk is worth $229 billion dollars, which I think is enough to give every person on Earth $8 a month for a while.
focusedkiwibear@lemmy.world 1 year ago
lol so funny this guy thinks we’re just gonna stop calling it Twitter
kamen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Can I call it “Twatter” instead? It seems way more fitting.
Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Xitter with the ‘x’ pronounced as ‘sh’.
Yendor@reddthat.com 1 year ago

Aganim@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No. I’m exercising my Musk-given right of ultimate free speech and will continue calling it Twitter, just because I feel like it. Musk would be proud for me standing up against censorship. Oh wait…

I think he’s a fucking idiot asshole bigot, but it’s still fun to watch him make the dumbest decisions ever for attention.
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
… And all of this could have been avoided if he just renamed it “Twitter by X”, so make Twitter part of the X super-app that he wanted to build.
Skitburd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
… hold on this mf has TEN kids
which… one? we’re not talking about Grime’s baby are we?
Nerrad@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Damn, I’ve been doing it wrong! I thought X was pronounced TEN.
Boi@reddthat.com 1 year ago
No. In fact we should continue to make fun of it. It’s stupid. Twitter was a hellsite before Elon. Now it’s dying due to his stupid decisions. He’s foing the things I used to joke about doing if i owned a website

newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m gonna call it Twitter even harder now.
kinsnik@lemmy.world 1 year ago
i’m going to stop calling it twitter when twitter.com redirects to x.com, and not the other way around
at that point i would stop talking about it, because X is just too stupid
BrudderAaron@lemmy.world 1 year ago
His obsession with the letter X is like that middle school kid who used to talk about how many girlfriends he got and how good he is at being a bad ass…
Basically, he’s a less likeable version of Zane from Hypnospace Outlaw.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you want him to fail, help him destroy Twitter’s brand.
Call it X.
I has worst brand recognition, terrible brand loyalty, and if only highlights that the product has changed for the worse.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
