Where else to mourn Twitter than on Twitter?
Here’s a sampling of the dark #RIPTwitter humor.
Titanic farewell
There were plenty of references to the ill-fated Titanic’s sinking.
“Absolutely refuse to say goodbye,” one person wrote.
“I am the band on the Titanic.
I will just keep tweeting my dumb little tweets until we are all underwater.”
Absolutely refuse to say goodbye.
I am the band on the Titanic.
I will just keep tweeting my dumb little tweets until we are all underwater.
Twitter has a very Titanic-like feel tonight.
It is dead in the water.
The engines have stopped.
The electricity is on.
The ship is listing.
A few lifeboats have been lowered.
Nervousness will soon yield to panic.
“I’ve got a two day headstart on you, which is more than I need.
If Twitter crashes and you’re gonna wanna find me, the hell you will.
I’ve got a two day head start on you, which is more than I need.
Breaking bad
One tweet mimicked Walter White of Breaking Bad fame, making a final statement.
JUST IN CASE this site goes down, my name is Walter Hartwell White.
I live at 308 Negra Arroya Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87104.
To all law enforcement entities, this is not an admission of guilt.
European twitter is sleeping through all of this.
“Hard to imagine turning it around.
I mean the 2022 Packers what are you talking about?”
it’s surreal and sad seeing it unwind like this.
hard to imagine turning it around.
I feel like I’m at a dinner party in the Midwest.
Well remain on here till the bitter end.
Will the last tweeter just turn out the lights?
“The person who does the last tweet should get a prize or something<” one tweet read.
The person who does the last tweet should get a prize or something.
As of midday Friday night, Twitter was still operating, and the jokes about it were still flowing.
