Wait is "Tim Onion" a silly joke riffing on Tim Apple (think that's his name) at Apple?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Yes Tim Apple, the inventor of the Apple computer

Not Tim Cook, the inventor of the Cook apputer?

Thanks, really worried for a few there that I was cracking up

Lol yeah, except the Apple guy's name is actually Tim Cook. But then Trump called him Tim Apple and it became a meme.

Hmm nah, "Tim Cook"? I don't think that's right, pretty sure it's Tim Apple...

(tries to save face by pretending to double down on the "silly joke")

I really wasn't with the initial comment elsewhere. Oldish brain full of too much stuff shortcutted a real vague memory straight to "yeah that guy Tim Apple" lol
