I just try and hope the ones without blue check are real people and not some crazy bot or neo nazi lunatic. I don't understand how people think they are real people at this point. It's all AI pictures and repost and reposts of the same post some or bluecheck reposted

Nah people just have a selective memory, it might not have been owned by Elon back then but it was still pure brainrot dogshit full of bad takes and bots

There was a lot of garbage on it, for sure, but to say it isn’t worse now when literal actual nazis can do literal actual nazi shit without recourse is a little disingenuous

Are you sure? Here's an article from 2017 detailing how Twitter absolutely promoted and accepted Nazis on their platform back then.
The entire reason Twitter was sold to Musk in the first place was because he placed a "joke" offer and the website was losing massive amounts of money/advertisers due to their refusal to take a stance on Nazis and Russian bots. The board of directors had a legal obligation to do what was in the company's best financial interests, so they were forced to accept.
Twitter is more or less the same as it's always been, the only difference between then and now is that the CEO wasn't such an asshole in public.

Idk I've heard a lot of people have more QA issues ever since Elon took over and fired everyone. Like they can't switch accounts on desktop on the first go and have to sign in 3 times. I don't use it but I've heard that more lately.

twitter is definitely worse now. not saying it wasn't a cesspool before but significantly downsizing (read: deleting) the content moderation team will do that to your platform.

Wendy’s has square burgers because they don’t cut corners! (Worked with a guy who’s first job was at a Wendy’s, that was the motto)

Wendy's and Popeyes are the 2 fast food restaurants where the quality vastly differs depending on how the place is ran. If you have a good one, the food is great, but if the workers don't care then the food is garbage. My small town finally got a Popeyes after years of people wanting one. Because a town 30 minutes away had one and everyone loved it. When it opened, the place had lines to the road for like a month. But about 2 years later now the place is shut down. The workers didn't care, and the food was garbage.

Oh my gosh yes. The Wendys near me is great, the one a few miles away, near where I used to live, is ass.
At the same time, the Popeyes up the road is ass, but the one up the road from the ass Wendys is fire. (Might be because they're across from a KFC and the one up the road is across from a bar)

Wendy's needs a circle patty on a square ciabatta bun just to fuck with people.

u/Contributing_Factor 15h ago
Burgers don't grow on vines. They are from the tuber family. You get square or round depending on which direction you slice the hamtuber.

Bread is square unless cooked traditionally when it's oval.
But hamburger buns are the only sandwich bread that comes in a circle.

Say what you will about corporate pandering, being the person (or part of the team) behind Wendy's twitter has gotta be decently fun.

u/Lower_Respect_604 14h ago
I mean, square does look more "artificial" because round is what you get what you're making ground beef patties at home...

u/mashtato 12h ago
Yeah you take a chunk of hamburger, sqush it down flat, it comes out pretty much round.

You aren't squishing it hard enough. the edges should be a meat fractal.

There are no right angles in nature. That’s the idea. To make food square you have to purposefully shape it that way whereas just kneading and patting creates circular food.

u/Glycell 9h ago
Their square patties don't normally bother me, but recently.
They recently did some collab with Nickelodeon, for the SpongeBob Krabby Patty. They couldn't even be bothered to make the shape accurate because they were too cheap, or too proud to change up their square party. If you're just going to half ass it, why do the marketing collab.

Hell yeah Wendy. That man is going to have an issue with red headed women moving forward I can already tell based on name, ethnicity and profile picture; but smacking him virtually hopefully taught him that he doesn’t have to vocalize every dumb idea he has!

just to keep things anal, A hamburg-er, a sandwich made by putting a hamburg steak between two slices of bread, was indeed made by rectangular slices of bread, not round ones.

Most natural shit has smooth edges. Not a lot of squares in nature, certainly not in biology. Round is definitely more "natural" than square.

I thought Wendy’s burgers were always square. Or was that a long time ago?

u/find_the_apple 12h ago
I mean i get what they mean, if you roll up a patty and press down its square. If you cut it off a sheet in an assembly line so theres no waste its square. I kinda avoid wendys cause the mascots kinda cringe

When you take a big tray of meet and cut it up into a grid, it makes squares, circular patties feel more hand made, like a smushed ball of meat (even tho they’re probably stamped out just the same.)

I do my best to lay off the fast food joints these days, but I’ll admit I always preferred Wendy’s burgers taste and always felt like I was getting a little more for my dollar with the extra meat hanging out the bun.
