X (formerly known as Twitter) 

A name stuck for eternity.

#24 · · read

I love how the internet still calls X not just X.

Instead, the internet calls it "X (formerly known as Twitter)".

I really, really, really hope it will forever be called that. Why? Because I love the irony.

A multi-billionaire buys a platform that is beloved by the internet. Aforementioned multi-billionaire starts playing god. He disrupts the internet that we know and renames a thing that we have known and loved for decades.

He might believe that people will just accept this and start calling it by its new name. X. Instead, the internet keeps on calling it Twitter.

Or to be exact:

X (formerly known as Twitter).

Dear internet: please never change. 😂
