This feels like a joke that anticipates the community notes as a punchline. I don't frequent Twitter, but I have to imagine this is a burgeoning genre of comedy tweet

[-] Nahdahar@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

I haven't seen it used that way yet, but seems like a clever meta. Honestly community notes might be the only good thing on the entire platform. My favorite is when there are community notes on ads.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh I didn't expect that to be a thing on ads. It's clear nobody is in control at Twitter, any sane social platform would have killed that on ads.

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

If it is in fact a joke, this format has been around forever, it just has a new implementation here.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

Sure agreed; anyone who has seen Arrested Development has seen this basic dynamic play out a few dozen times, and that's just one example.

Lol it's probably one of the most famous weather delays in history.

[-] ysjet@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

If they knew their history, they wouldn't be repeating it.

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 53 points 10 months ago

I don't know who this is, but since he never studied war history or paid attention in school I know he's probably a right wing grifter piece of shit

This makes me think it might've been a satirical comment... but it's impossible to know...

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

if only there were an indicator of sarcasm that can be easily added to a comment to avoid making people angry...

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I hope you're serious. I literally can't tell!

[-] HUMAN_TRASH@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Probably wanted to make people angry

[-] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

this is the main reason I've been slowly removing sarcasm from my personality. it's not fun when so many people are (understandably) not in on the joke, or worse when you realize someone you were joking with was actually being completely serious. I'm just tired man, feels like half the worlds gone insane

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 10 months ago

you don't even have to know history to know this. you just have to watch the first episode of band of brothers

Community Notes is the Ron Howard Narrator of Twitter.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

I mean tbf, he did say 'cancelled,' not delayed.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

True...but because it's not something you cancel... Like you can live without a game... I don't recommend cancelling the killing of Nazis but maybe that's just me.

There was a window of opportunity where the tides were low and the weather was right. It's completely possible that if those two things didn't come together, it just couldn't happen. The English Channel has some nasty weather, too.

For those wondering, they needed the tides to be low in order to avoid beach defenses.

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 17 points 10 months ago

Not just Operation Overlord (which I’m betting this jamoke doesn’t even know), but all kinds of military operations were postponed due to weather and other reasons. It’s how strategy works. I assume the extent of guy’s military expertise stops at shouting racist slurs while playing COD, and I even say this as a not-actually-an-expert type of person.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Plus, if we look at times when they didn't cancel when they should have, we get things like Challenger exploding on live TV.

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

Word, good example. That one traumatized me, I was four years old when I saw it go down, and had a terrible fear of countdown timers (e.g., microwave oven timer) for quite a while after that.

[-] occhineri@feddit.de 15 points 10 months ago

Never take advices from people wearing suits

[-] wintermutehal@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Funny half related story. For a bit in my mid-20s I was a manager in training for enterprise (shit company, shit job, do not recommend). I’m this position, we were required to wear a suit, even while cleaning the cars. One day a dude came off the plane looking for a car, I was helping him and giving my speil and he pretty politely stopped me and said something to the effect of, that’s nice and all, but I don’t really trust dudes in suits. A little caught off guard, but attempting to be friendly, I said cool and let him do his thing. It still sticks with me. Something about a suit can say, I‘ve decided to look presentable so you believe me. Not sure if it’s a positive or negative, but he‘s had me thinking for ten years.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

A suit says "I'm a businessman, and therefore a dishonest man." That's why all politicians and the majority of preachers wear suits.

[-] Nei@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Community notes can be used as a good narrator.
