Twitcher: I’m gonna be handing out ps5s

Random person: and my axe

“You had people walking around with shovels, axes, and other tools from the construction trade”

It will honestly never amaze me these online “personalities” can even get this many poeple into one place

Anticorp,

It amazes me that there are this many people who even care about influencers to begin with.

Celebrity cults really need to die out…

People going crazy over what person X did have for breakfast is annoying and useless as it is but with influencers that shit reached a new level.

Also if people are occupied with that they have less capacities for more important things…

dingleberry,

And of course he won’t be kicked off Twitch.

Imagine acting like that over a $500 3 year old console? If $500 means THAT much to you, how are you going to afford the games to play?

Crazy.

arefx,

I think it’s a good commentary on the current economic situation in the USA, because I’m going to spend 500$ over fighting thru a mob of 2,000 for a free one any day, but clearly many people just don’t have that 500$ lying around.

Also, if you are one of the people with the money to buy one, just build a PC instead ;)

bionicjoey,

Black Friday mobs are a thing every year. A huge chunk of the US is living below the poverty line and is willing to supplement their economic situation with insane fanaticism

arefx,

True but a certain percentage of them are people with money who enjoy the madness. Not trying to take away from your point though as you are 100% correct…

Anticorp,

Black Friday isn’t about savings. Half the time the discounts aren’t even real. The people who go mad on black Friday go mad any time they’re given an excuse.

SomethingBurger,

how are you going to afford the games to play?

Good thing the PS5 doesn’t have games /s

That’s insane. What even was his plan to decide who get those PS5s? I guess if he had any plan at all or any foresight, this wouldn’t happen at all… or maybe that’s his intention. Hope he gets convicted.

crowd of roughly 2,000 converged at Union Square Park

New York Police Department declared a “level four” mobilisation, meaning roughly 1,000 officers were deployed to the scene.

Damn, I guess New York needed to show where the taxes money went

Czekajcie, czekajcie, bo ja znów przespałem coś ważnego w internetowym świecie.

Czy ktoś napisze mi co to Threads, albo da jakiegoś linka do poczytania po polsku?

W bardzo dużym skrócie, Meta (Facebook) uruchomiła swojego klona Twittera o nazwie Threads.

Ludzie w końcu przejrzeli na oczy i mają dość kolejnego z rzędu produktu od Facebooka. Dlatego Threads zaliczyło tak mocny upadek.

I bardzo dobrze.

marventh,

Ja tylko czekam, aż korporacyjne społecznościówki zobaczą jeden wielki spadek liczby użytkowników. Tak się dzieje jak wypychasz wszędzie gdzie się da reklamy.
