Panic! At The Tesco posted:stan = people or things you idolize Not to be pedantic, but for clarification, "stan" basically means "stand up for" as a verb, but as a noun the stan it's the idolizer. Also, ratio is usually used with a negative connotation because posts with a lot of comments usually means the post is poorly received, so people are "ratioing" it.

"Stan = stand up for" would fit really well in the stuff you can't believe you just figured out thread.

Stan is for Stan Lee, a man who was notoriously upbeat and excited about things.

Alternatively, I could also see it result in Musk neuralinking to Twitter and becoming the Lawnmower Man of vapid bigotry before his batteries catch fire and he can't use the escape hatch because it doesn't have an unpowered safety latch.

Don't forget this is a group effort! KitConstantine posted:Counterpoint: the last time he did that hyperloop happened I had entirely forgotten hyperloop existed until you just mentioned it. A friend of mine (who also got sucked deep into cryptocurrency) was convinced that hyperloop was inevitable, not just because of Elon, but also because it showed up in one episode of Westworld.

Ratio specifically means when someone comments on your post and that comment gets more likes than your original post I don't even use twitter and I know this smh

Because it means people will stop posting links to tweets people have made of bad takes to get attention which is functionally the same as ignoring them which some people are just incapable of doing.

I was under the impression that ratio referred to a disproportionate number of likes versus retweets and comments, the implication being that if people are replying without also liking, they're presumably arguing against your tweet. It's obviously unreliable, but I think it's still the closest thing to an at-a-glace numerical metric for judging (dis)agreement with tweets. Similarly, in the time since YouTube hid the dislike counts, I feel like I've seen people repurpose ratio to compare a video's views with its likes, which is even more flawed than the bespoke Twitter system because now the presumption is that everyone actually bothers voting on everything they view.

OP, Musk is going to let DonalD Trump back on Twitter and then people will flock to it to watch DT’s finger diarrhea horror show in real time. Still not going stop Twitter from losing money.
