This is what I hate about the homunculi of twitter company personalities. “Hahaa, did you see the way Walmart clapped back at IBM?“ Humanizing vast, faceless companies puppeted by sociopathic business majors triggers every rage response that my body can muster. Please, shut the fuck up
[Off-topic] Your display name is hilarious. It reminds me old viruses with double extensions, like hotpix.jpg.vbs
Thanks, I always hope people get a little giggle out of the momentary confusion. I’m surprised whenever people are legitimately fooled. Just click my name, I’m @gullible, you silly billies!
I assume its not showing your set name on voyager?
I don’t want anyone to miss out on the fun. WolfdadCigarette@threads.net@sh.itjust.works should be what’s visible. Out of curiosity, does voyager offer the ability to change your display name?
Shows like this on jerboa
Ah! The threads.net tag, nice.
Doesn’t seem to have the option to change or set one
Why is Voyager like this? People are missing out some brilliant user names.
You got me last week, I did a double-take.
If every MBA on the planet were suddenly teleported to Planet MBA....would anyone really miss them?
unrelated but "the homunculus of Twitter" is a good nickname for Elon
People propagate this though. Company twitter accounts posting derivative meme shit is what people reshare. Most people consider Apple/Tesla/Pelaton/Nintendo to be their buddies and love it when their buddy seems like a down to earth, regular guy. It's cringe.
I'll start believing brands are people when they start getting jailed for their (numerous) crimes.
But they were all of them deceived, for another meme was made...
Sorry beforehand for the intrusive politics, but it's kind of unavoidable for me in this case.
This is almost a textbook example of the Marxist concept of alienation. Once a brand takes over a meme, people are alienated from
I'd say the outcome is alienation; the process as the comic demonstrates it is a kind of recuperation, the process through which ideas (especially subversive or dangerous ones) are neutered and commodified.
I swear I can find an applicable Marx excerpt for almost anything. His work has strengthened my anti-capitalist conversations a ton.
Well, that's what you get when an old style journalist has a knack for philosophy. I heavily recommend his texts, even to non-communists - not as some sort of political proselytism from my part, but because the content is useful/interesting even if you aren't a communist, you know?
I went to my city's pride parade 10 years ago and this past year, huge difference. Everything is commercial and expensive now and it's just full of corporate floats
Waiting for the CEO of Disney to try to sell the Live Action remake of Coco by exclaiming that "his name Jeff" and then fail to understand why nobody liked that, to which he'll respond by cancelling something popular on Disney+ and greenlighting the worst fucking thing ever to take its place.

Is email a meme? Was the telephone a meme?
Don't walk away guys! Use that shit, send me more spam! I love spam! Yes I would like a cruise to the Bahamas. Yes I would love to make over 2 million from the comfort of my home while loosing weight using wegovy! Please send me that virus! Oh you wanna serve your own email server to get out of Gmail? Nah, that's impossible! Pay them 15 bucks a month! It's worth it!
RIP email, and part for the soul of the telephone... telephone, we hardly knew you! First with your spin dial. I did 1 call with spin dial. Then your 3inch stroke push buttons, then your 0.01" stroke push buttons, then your virtual capacitance glass buttons...and then puff! He was gone.
I think they died as memes.
Does anyone remember a similar comic about Twitter a decade ago?
This is the way things go. If enough people come to one place order use one medium, it becomes a target for businesses who will squeeze it to death. Enough people listening to radio and this broadcast is brought by... New site that people start to use? Time to insert some corporate messages.
Old fags remember rule: don't share memes with normies, it will kill a meme.
Please, watch out for context.
In 4chan there's context to interpret your usage of "old fag" as "site veteran". But we are not in 4chan - here it's simply a slur targetting a marginalised group of people.
Old what now?

or maybe kindling
Nothing, don't worry about it.
