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

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 27 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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!

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I assume its not showing your set name on voyager?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 months ago (4 children)

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?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Shows like this on jerboa

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Ok. Thats why I'm not getting it. I just see WolfdadCigarette@threads.net

And thats it.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Like your reference to the meme? It's a rather cool way to do it through emojis.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Can't say I came up with it. I think I saw it on /r/collapse first.

[–] PopShark@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Ohhey a fellow Voyager user!

I was also missing out on all the fun :/ lol

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

You got me last week, I did a double-take.

[–] MinFapper@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago

Damn, that got me! I was about to comment being like "woah! We get threads here?" when I finally noticed.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I think Boobzilla is an excellent one

If every MBA on the planet were suddenly teleported to Planet MBA....would anyone really miss them?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Make sure not to unknowingly send the telephone cleaners too.

[–] Molten_Moron@lemmings.world 3 points 4 months ago

There goes the planet...

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 1 points 4 months ago

Or the advertising account executives.

[–] Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You could make a religion out of that

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hail LinkedIn, full of grace.

Not sure if typo, but hilariously accurate

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

That was, in fact, the joke. :)

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 17 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I'll start believing brands are people when they start getting jailed for their (numerous) crimes.

[–] AShadyRaven@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

i wish they would all act like the faceless industrial complexes out there

you don't see this from stuff like Caterpillar

I’m allowed to hate things I’m not part of. My silent malice does little to dissuade folks from posting examples to lemmy
