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
Ok. Thats why I'm not getting it. I just see WolfdadCigarette@threads.net
And thats it.
Ah! The threads.net tag, nice.
Doesn’t seem to have the option to change or set one
It appears to be on the feature todo list

Why is Voyager like this? People are missing out some brilliant user names.
Like your reference to the meme? It's a rather cool way to do it through emojis.
Can't say I came up with it. I think I saw it on /r/collapse first.
Ohhey a fellow Voyager user!
I was also missing out on all the fun :/ lol
You got me last week, I did a double-take.
Damn, that got me! I was about to comment being like "woah! We get threads here?" when I finally noticed.
I think Boobzilla is an excellent one
If every MBA on the planet were suddenly teleported to Planet MBA....would anyone really miss them?
Make sure not to unknowingly send the telephone cleaners too.
There goes the planet...
Or the advertising account executives.
You could make a religion out of that
Hail LinkedIn, full of grace.
hollowed be thy name...
Not sure if typo, but hilariously accurate
That was, in fact, the joke. :)
No, dont
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.
unrelated but "the homunculus of Twitter" is a good nickname for Elon
Now I'm having visions of the high priestess X'twitterquatl sacrificing Mayan children on a pyramid as lightning flashes in an attempt to animate their engine of destruction; The Homonculus of X'twitter.
I'll start believing brands are people when they start getting jailed for their (numerous) crimes.
i wish they would all act like the faceless industrial complexes out there
you don't see this from stuff like Caterpillar
Why are you on Twitter?
I’m allowed to hate things I’m not part of. My silent malice does little to dissuade folks from posting examples to lemmy
Show me where Walmart hurt you.
Points to the desolate wasteland of dead small businesses and underpaid workers subsisting on welfare unable to even afford shopping at walmart
You guys really need to have some effective government that will enact normal minimal wage and anti monopoly laws. But I wonder if the most people are poor then why they don’t vote for a party that represents them and wants to raise or set minimum wage (whichever applies)?
The logic says that everyone should vote for someone that will better their conditions and yet it looks like there’s some weird shit going on where only well off, rich people vote left (whatever left means in the specific county). It’s completely backwards
I vote left too and classic example of this and honestly I think I won’t next time cause it is not in my interest. Though centrist party here would probably be something like warren in USA
Actually I remember now why I find these comments jarring is because I don’t live in the USA so I don’t have this inherent hate for capitalism but it is understandable in that context or anywhere where people are stuck in quasi democratic situation of permanent superliberal gov thanks to two party system
People won't vote for them because they "can't win", and they can't win because people won't vote for them. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.
Consider 3 candidates running for president right now: Jill Stein, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump. Jill Stein has a platform of raising the minimum wage, healthcare guaranteed as a human right, and a bunch of other awesome stuff. Harris has almost no platform at all, but she has vibes. And Trump wants to have a Christian dictatorship and deport millions of people.
Stein is the only one of these 3 candidates who wants to raise the minimum wage, but she's only polling at 1%, and people don't want to vote for her because they're afraid that Trump will win.
I understand but still it is hilarious when people blame some Walmart of all things as a consequence. The evil Walmart regime
