Iâm 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 wouldnât 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 â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
What game has âTHE DARK URGEâ dialogue options? I was imagining Fallout before, but this makes me think it must be some newer one.
SinkingLotus@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
I very quickly learned not to trust the Dark Urge to stop at imagining the act.

Define âway too muchâ please

The problem is, is that if you engage with anyone outside of the internet, they have no fucking idea what youâre talking about when you call it âXâ.
Itâs so fucking stupid of a name. Even worse than Facebook changing to Meta.
You can ask people to call it âXâ all day, every day, but you canât 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 â¨8⊠â¨months⊠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 donât 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 â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
I honestly thought Comcast just bought xfinity at some point. Also fuck xfinity
mgiuca@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠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 â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
In defense of Zuckerberg â and thereâs something I never thought Iâd say â they changed the name of the company so that they could introduce new brands. They were not dumb enough to rebrand the successful products. Itâs just now Facebook by Meta.
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oculus quest, though I guess it wasnât actually a success
tty84@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
When I go to x.com I end up on twitter.com
So Elon says itâs X but my browser still says itâs Twitter
jarfil@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
stebo02@sopuli.xyz â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thatâs funny, when I do it I end up on nitter.net
zikk_transport2@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Just listen to musk and do what he says - stop calling it twitter.
We can brainstorm other names. For example, latelly Iâve been preferring twatter. xD
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
I personally prefer xitter, pronounced as shitter
mostNONheinous@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
GTA IV had a Tw@t Internet Cafe so Iâve always kind of thought of it like that.
Threeme2189@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm partial to Twixxer myself
Savvy95@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
I like calling id xD
thechadwick@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm so tired of these woke CEOs and their snowflake whining over misgendering their companies. Thereâs the name that a company is assigned at birth, and Iâll be damned if Iâm going to change the way Iâve 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, âtwitter is now Xâ ffs.
The facts of the

Mr. Pibb, Dr. Robotnik, Sierra Mist, Iâm not using your woke âPibb Extra, Dr. Eggman, Starryâ nonsense!
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Wait⌠Sierra Mist rebranded? I missed that
Nepenthe@kbin.social â¨8⊠â¨months⊠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 â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Ugh, it hurts that there are losers out there who say this shit unironically.

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 â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
More likely that the autopilot kicks in, locks the doors, and drives into a lake.
ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thatâs going to happen anyway when he enables The Code, he just has to wait for enough people to buy them to save the climate heâs actively helping destroy with rockets, then he gets all them tree hugger no good hippies in one go!

LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
And if you say Twitter 69 times inside of a Tesla models S3XY at sharp 4:20am, Elon Musk will cum inside the car
regalia@literature.cafe â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
X is a fucking stupid name
ilickfrogs@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
No, X is a letter. But it doesnât matter what you call a shitty product, itâs still a shitty product. Iâll also keep calling it twitter.
acausal_masochist@awful.systems â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
More Fun In The New World was great though.
xcxcb@sh.itjust.works â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Sure Elon, I can provide this service to you for just $8/month. Itâs great value honestly, I have expenses to continue to run my life and just $8 will happily contribute towards that.
happyhippo@feddit.it â¨8⊠â¨months⊠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 elseâs, mine.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm 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.
fasterbynight@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
If you call 3 months âa whileâ
focusedkiwibear@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
lol so funny this guy thinks weâre just gonna stop calling it Twitter
kamen@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Can I call it âTwatterâ instead? It seems way more fitting.
Leviathan@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Xitter with the âxâ pronounced as âshâ.

Aganim@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
No. Iâm 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 waitâŚ

Boi@reddthat.com â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
No. In fact we should continue to make fun of it. Itâs stupid. Twitter was a hellsite before Elon. Now itâs dying due to his stupid decisions. Heâs foing the things I used to joke about doing if i owned a website

kinsnik@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
iâm 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 â¨8⊠â¨months⊠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 assâŚ
Basically, heâs a less likeable version of Zane from Hypnospace Outlaw.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world â¨8⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâve said it before and Iâll say it again. If you want him to fail, help him destroy Twitterâs brand.
Call it X.
I has worst brand recognition, terrible brand loyalty, and if only highlights that the product has changed for the worse.
