Honestly, that's just bananas.

Oh brother this guy stinks!

Take your upvote e.e

Wait till they post something about Planters... Waggles eyebrows

If aliens could judge us, they'd say: "So you are telling me, that humans have killed each other for imaginary lines on the ground; in the name of feckless leaders who don't give a fuck about you; and bananas?"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Bananas are at least understandable, we gotta eat

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

Or hoard if you’re Donkey Kong.

For context, this was back during that stupid time when people could buy Xitter authentication.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I thought that was still ongoing? When did they revert the change?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

I thiiink there are multiple checkmarks now. General bought blue check marks and gold verified? I think...?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago

I don't think Xitter authentication existed in 1954...

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Xitter

My apologies, but it’s Twitter for as long as that cock-sucking, ball-gargling, butt-plug-looking, fascist-asshole-of-a-non-tax-paying illegal immigrant piece-of-shit anal-bead-wannabe motherfucker who needs to get the Hell out of our goddamned country is alive and walking free.

I get that you are trying to degrade and demoralize him, but please be aware that many of the insults and words you are using are offensive to various groups of people.. for example, my wife is a cock sucker, are you comparing my wife to this creep?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago

I choose this guys cock-sucking wife

Twitter.com still brings you to the website, i imagine the trademark is still registered

So it is still correct to call it that

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Xitter is pronounced 'shitter' I'm pretty sure

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

That's how I will always pronounce it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I like to call it ex-twitter

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (13 children)

The Gulf of America was really about Elon being salty bc we still call it Twitter, watch

Can you please not bring ball gags, butt plugs and anal beads into this topic, that's derogatory for these to be compared with that deformed mouldy balding shithead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

I second the motion. Sex kinks are ok as long as you're not hurting anyone, fucking the whole country without consent is not ok

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago

as opposed to this stupid time when people can do that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

...isn't that still the case? They took it away, changed the color or something, and brought it back, didn't they?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You could buy Xitter authentication in 1954? 🤔

I was honestly surprised they casually acknowledged it like that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Parody accounts. Both tweets are in fact real tweets. As we can see.

Actually strike that. I don’t know that. There are ways to alter pictures so I guess it could be fake in that they never were twated out by anyone on the site.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

I have not tried it on Twitter, but it's extremely easy to use a browser's console and change any text on a webpage, so I'm not surprised it's fake

[–] [email protected] -1 points 13 hours ago

A parody account posting something that's perceived as coming from a non-parody account falls under my definition of "fake." What I meant was, Chiquita didn't post either tweet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

Well, that's the internet for you

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago

Fuck Dole and every family that still holds power from the coup.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Chiquita is a bad exploiting brand

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago (3 children)

At this point you might as well just assume every corporation is shit and be pleasantly surprised when you look them up.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I mean, yeah, but Chiquita/United Fruit are on a whole different level. They're the ones who single-handedly destabilized a whole region, funding multinational death squads, coups and shit. That's the whole joke.

Edit: to be honest, anyone unfamiliar with this period should brush up on it. This was the last time the US truly functioned as an empire (or tried to), and the key arguments are going to be the same now as they were then.

It's been 50 years, Chiquita should treat itself

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

It's been 30 years, Chiquita should treat itself.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Plot twist: A whistleblower denounces that Chiquita was the major Trump campaign supporter.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

I miss the week where Twitter essentially allowed free speech for $15 before they shut it down after everyone immediately clowned on every single corporation and celebrity in existence.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 16 hours ago

Loo-seeeeeeee!!! You got some splainin' to dooo!
