Did you know that X Corp. has a website for their hamster business as well?

And already the first instance I personally encountered for myself of a problem with the branding.

When scrolling and seeing the top half of the meme, in no way did my mind assume, in the first moments, that this was going to be about ex-twitter. It parsed X as "generic thing", a placeholder, a variable.

Yeah for me X by itself is the X.org and probably won't change

[–] Burstar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Yup. At least with Space-X the message seems to be 'a variable that changes things with the space industry'. 'X' is just... a meaningless letter. My favourite is the meme that tweets will now be called Xcretes.

Do you like X, and the band The Xx? Check out their X profile at xnxx.com!

I do, but it's time to move on to Wayland

[–] conneru64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

X has network transparency, that's why I can go to x.com. Bet you can't go to wayland.com!

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Bet you can go on wayland.social.

I'm having trouble getting views?

[–] ech0@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you tried showing your asshole?

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Another person who obviously didn't watch the video. That question is answered in the opening credits.

Woah, haven't seen that meme template in a long time.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

I have, and they're using it wrong! It's supposed to be a red mallard!

The App Formerly Known as Twitter does have a lot of porn. Maybe you're on to something here.
