5.5 million bots users multiplied by the number of minutes in a day. I wonder if that also includes the JavaScript trackers that live inside every Tweet This! embed button and embedded tweets.

When a forum page with a bunch of embeds sits idle while you're off doing whatever, you probably count as 40 user minutes per minute

Translation:
One of the poor schmucks who still work at Twitter managed to find a number related to Twitter that somehow trends upward, unlike all those numbers for things like profits and such. And since number go up = good, Elon decided to share this exciting news with us. You can practically tell that this is just a random number someone found on some computer that no one cared about before since most humans probably begin thinking in hours rather than minutes a bit before they get to 8 billion of them.

Mostly pseudo-random.
8 billion user minutes huh? That's what, if twitter has 200 million active users, about an hour per day per user?

Like in a vacuum I can see that as wow! but like if you think about how bot users in play in and how some people may leave a tab open skewing the numbers, its such a pointless metric.

Like saying the average person has 1.8 arms.

Not a Dickman, just a shape
The user minutes figure is useless without comparison

I remember working retail once and our head honcho put up this big sign (litteraly 8-10 Meyers wide) "300 million lost to shrinkage"

Like ok

Is that a big number? How much profit did the store make? Is that for the chain or this store? It's just "wow big number"

I kind of get it when he replies to and amplifies weird shitheads with a sizable presence like Ian Miles Cheong or Caturd or whoever, I even get it when he replies to randos who are licking his boots....but like, were you purposely looking for people who are as mad about LED lights as this guy?

Also, if you're not looking at the bulb, there are LEDs that produce the same color temperatures as incandescents... You could not tell the difference with a lampshade on.

Holy poo poo are they seriously trying to do 2010 era culture war poo poo over light bulbs? That's been done in the EU back then and we're fine somehow.

Also if Biden mandated heat pumps, they'd be whining about their natural-heat oil/gas heaters and how it raises costs for the poor chuds.
