Back in 2006 I had a website for a comedy project I was working on at the time. I had a menu on the side of the page. The menu was a whiskey bottle. Each of the links was 2 images. When you didn’t hover your mouse over it, it was a tan background with a black text (to immitate the look of a Jack Danials bottle), but when you hovered over any text, the black text turned blue. So signify “you’re highlighting this option”.

I needed some text with limited amount of space to link to socialmedia.htm All the page did was link to the facebook, the myspace, and the twitter of the group. So I did the best logical thing. I made the text say “MyTwitFace”. Which still makes me laugh, although it no longer makes sense.

You may have had this thought in the shower, but I don’t think that’s what this community is actually about.

Why should he?
Isn’t TikTok already spewing enough racism and bullshit?

estimated value of ~ $30-100 billion, depending on if key pieces of proprietary tech (essentially their algorithms) are included.
