Is Wendy's still doing the sassy Twitter (now known as "X, formerly known as Twitter") schtick?

[–] ohlaph 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I believe it's called Ten now. X was too edgy.

It’s Threads, not better than mastodon but still better than Twitter, or at least I hope?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They mean twitter is called Ten, because X is 10.

...for context, Apple used to be very particular about pronouncing it “mack oh-as ten”. There is somewhat of a reason behind this, nobody will pronounce SuperBowl ⅩⅬⅧ as “eks-el-vee-triple-eye”.

It's Macintosh Oh-Ass Ex and I will never change.

I played enough fighting games to know it's "Cross".

If you hate yourself, open threads. It’s 90% Wendy’s ads.

To be honest this lemmy post is also a Wendy's ad.

[–] kismattic 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not my intention, I’m trying to make the point of not purchasing from them due to deceptive pricing but it is still essentially free marketing. Not sure how to bring it up without that being the case

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 7 points 1 year ago

I think calling it an ad is a bit dishonest tbf. If you're of the mindset that all marketing is good marketing, then companies suddenly cannot be criticised because it's advertisement.

yes I have seen a meme and now I have a need to go to the nearwst Wendy's, gonna just walk there real quick however many thousand kms that is

[–] kismattic 20 points 1 year ago

Yes! But now they’re also on Threads, I would’ve put this on Mastodon if they existed there

[–] jettrscga 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What the shit do they call "tweets" now?

Any name I think of sounds like an abomination from hell.

"Xeets"?

"Xits"?

"Musk droppings"?

[–] kismattic 2 points 1 year ago

This is Threads (Meta 😭). Would prefer to just be on Mastodon but I wanted answers from Wendy’s
