Never thought I'd miss Twitter. Be a lot more efficient around here if people kept their PSAs to 140 characters or less.

What's a Twitter?

Twitter?

[dirtyword]

something about birds????

[text]

[yardbird]

I thought so at first but it doesn't seem to fit with what he's saying.

[text]

[dirtyword]

it makes no sense either way you slice the pie.

[text]

[sugarbear]

It's a social networking site. Nice and efficient, lessening actual interaction to the absolute bare minimum.

[sugarbear]

I'm guessing that's going to be the most asked question around here, huh?

[voice]

[falsehoods]

I know not what a "Twitter" is...I shall assume it has naught to do with actual birds and more to do with your technology.

[voice]

[sugarbear]

It's got a little bird logo on it or something. Could be.

[voice]

[falsehoods]

A logo does not make it an actual bird.

From context it seems it is something used to communicate. Is it like a Book of Faces?

[voice]

[sugarbear]

A Book of what--? Oh, Facebook. Like it, only without the humiliating pictures.

Unless they're the type to tweet every two minutes with inane details about their day.

[sugarbear]

Better than six hundred words whining about their day.

[text]

[rickon]

yes the star boat is full of bird people

text;

[onsilksheets]

I find it useful to just ignore them.

text;

[sugarbear]

Smart. Now why didn't I think of that.

twitter is actually one of the things I don't miss about life before this hellhole. I do not need to hear about how Stacy got a bad haircut, or how Jimmy thinks movie tickets are too damn expensive. cause that's all you get on that site. as opposed to this thing, where I can rant for as long as I want about how dumb twitter was.

text;

[sugarbear]

Everyone around here has a lousy haircut on account of there not being any hairdressers in space. Way too many characters, by the way.

[amethysts]

Who give you tattoos, dog boy.

Two questions: you get your robot armour from your brother and are you going to space training? I brought snacks.

[amethysts]

You're all prehistoric on this weird-butt boat.

there might be a hairstylist on board, it's been a while since I've asked, at least. and I was proving a point - who can get through a proper rant in 140? nobody.

[sugarbear]

I'm not sure what history you're reading, sweetheart, but we wrote the book on it.

text;

[sugarbear]

Use choice words. That always seems to work.

[amethysts]

I'm just saying Twitter went under in 2021. Everybody in my time uses Fronds. 160 characters.

[ text ]

[sugarbear]

Sure, cause the twenty extra characters makes all the difference. At least tell me chatspeak died out.
