The next gen is gonna be making fun of Gen Z by saying "formally Twitter" and Millennials are finally going to win.
It'll be the first win we ever had. We damn sure aren't winning in the housing market.
Hey, millenials. Show of hands, who has a house???
See, millenials HAVE hands. You just don't see them, because none of us have houses.
Only allowed to use it when wearing a penguin suit.
Until the company is dead
It is happening. If you look for news of, e.g. "Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses Harris", most outlets just say 'X'.
In my results, The Guardian, the BBC, The Independent, Fortune, MSNBC, The Washington Post and The Hill just used 'X'. Politico said 'on social media'. Only Forbes did the 'formerly Twitter' thing.
Until the public short message service no longer exists?
This could happen in a number of ways.
I keep seeing people call it "X, the Everything App" and ngl it's funny every single time
Seriously though, what is x.com and the x app? I just followed the link to google play and it seems'ish like it's just the twitter microblog, but I'm seeing things mentioned that I didn't think are part of twitter. I've never used twitter or any x products, so I'm actually in the dark.
I have been mentally keeping track how often I see "formerly Twitter" and I'm surprised that it's lasted this long tbh
I dunno. but I wonder if he owns xvideos.
I’m in favor of calling it X because it’ll die quicker.
My mind keeps coming up with tag lines for X….
X:
… where the fruits of piracy can be found
… - rated best for quirky images
… where you’ll find that special someone you realized you DON’T want to spend the rest of your life with.
Anyone got more?
...the best coffee shop for nazis. ...a modern dating app for the ugliest humanity has to offer. ...bro! ...this is what happens when you abuse ketamine.
I see a lot of outlets no longer saying formerly Twitter.
I like X.com only because I like X-Com
Yeah, its getting absurd by now. Maybe we should help with the rebranding a lil bit... In Polish I prefer to call it exTwitter, but in English I'd hope calling it just "formerly" will catch on.
Just call it the X social media site
