I hope this leads to many other companies using their abandonment of Xitter as a way to dunk on them in a viral way.

Can we start saying shxitter now?
xitter is pronounced "shitter"
Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?
Daily reminder that the X in Xitter is pronounced 'Shi' like in Chinese
It took me 3 tries to realize she wasn't saying "We took a moment to locate our nearest shit."
Well, you never really think about where the nearest shit is to you
I did as I flew back from Malaysia with a really bad food poisoning. I had to re schedule my flight and whole booking the new seat I made sure it was in sprint reach of the nearest shit...er.
That was a fun trip
But i do think about where the nearest xitter (shitter) is.
it might be behind you
It was inside you all along.
music swells
Why is this the first time I'm hearing X-it? That's pretty good.
You probably haven't heard "X-it" because everyone still calls it Twitter.
I still call it Twitter because it pisses Musk off. Not that he is on Lemmy, but principal of the matter.
As far as I'm concerned, Twitter is dead and X never even existed.
When will the Musk-child sue them?
Dude, you've failed your reading comprehension.
My favourite urban legend is that there’s a special desk at the Vienna airport for people who accidentally flew to Austria instead of Australia.
Not quite as fun but my mum works for postal services in Austria and there's a special stamp for mail accidentally sent to Austria instead of Australia
The volume of missent mail has certainly gone down in recent years due to both communication moving online and international post adopting more precise adress systems, but 10-15 years ago you could get parcels with multiple "missent to Austria - missent to Australia" stamps on them due to some incompetent people not realizing where it should actually go.
Talking about incompetence...
My wife ordered something from Sweden years ago and apparently there's a city in the US with the same name as ours, so it was sent there. Then to Jamaica, because... Who knows. Then to Germany, where customs wanted to have taxes collected, because it came from the Americas. We told them to send it back to Sweden. Four years later, DHL wrote a letter asking for money for the effort handing it over to customs.
Same the other way around. And for the Koreas
I've had 'missent to Australia; try Austria' hand written on a parcel, so I didn't know that!
Imagine the shenanigans if a small town in Australia with a small airport was named Vienna
Autocorrect.
