Someday a few years from now, we will all inevitably meet a kid who asks "What's that?" when we mention Twitter. amirite?

people are still calling x twitter 2 years after the name change, so i doubt that'll happen a few years from now

The optimism is, the platform dies soon. So kids will ask what is it, like they ask about phone booths.

Where in the world do phone booths not still exist?

Arizona I found a phone booth wayyy out in the desert during a trip with friends and we all took pictures with it. It was the only phone booth I had ever seen in AZ. And I live in Texas now, and I have not seen one here yet that's not in an antique store.

I think they probably still are in a lot of places but nobody uses them anymore

Refer to it as "x" and they'll ask what's that right now.

In the movie Moana, the character Maui makes a joke about "tweeting". My kids already don't get it.

This is already happening. Young Kids watches nothing but TikTok and YT shorts on their phones, most are not even aware of the existence of other social media apps like Instagram or "x.com".

Why would they call it twitting in the future, when it was never called that to begin with.

Because language is fluid and constantly evolving

They're calling out the user for typing "twitting" instead of "tweeting"

I understand that

It was a bird app where people argued in 280 characters and billionaires did vibe checks on civilization.

Literally any of them will ask that if you mention it when they're young enough

Um, you can ask most elementary school kids that now and get that response.

Why would I ever talk about twitter or X with a child

It's going to be a cliche. You're just early in noticing it.

Twitter? Oh, that was like a giant global group chat where everyone was yelling at once.

It's very unlikely that all of us would meet the same kid. Even more so that all of would mention twitter to them.

Kind of scary that an internet platform can be owned by someone who uses it to shape the political minds of it's membership. Young minds will never form their own opinions, it is being spoon fed to them.
