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

[–] ohlaph 30 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] jettrscga 6 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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