Well, Dank can join the Roman Legions now. He can serve alongside Biggus Dickus

Not going to lie: I got a good belly laugh out of that. This is why I love Dank.

He's the most consistently funny person I'm currently aware of. Name someone funnier.

Instructions unclear.

Dick stuck in Twitter.

Honestly, name changes should have always been disabled on verified accounts. They completely invalidated its entire point.

I know they stopped being actual verification forever ago, but still.

But then how else would some Hollywood cumbucket let you know RIGHT AWAY how virtuous she is, if she can't have fagflags and slogans right in her username?

Why would he want to change it, he’s already got the perfect name.

Because he accidentally called it a parody.

Elon should charge $8 per name change.

I never understood why twitter made it so easy for people to change their names.

Reddit is having a little orgy over how $8 accounts are breaking the rules by changing their names and profile pics to mock Elon Musk and/or Tesla.

Well what should happen is that if you change your name, you lose the blue checkmark and have to reverify.

Elon Musk has somehow managed to mismanage twitter worse than adult daycare people.

It's like he's trying to singlehandedly validate the idea that rich people are always born into it instead of by their personal merit.

Twitter still works exactly as well as it did two weeks ago, plus every communist on there is incredibly agitated and several hundred of them have deliberately paid $8 to get themselves banned. The companies pulling their ads because communists told them to doesn't reflect poorly on Elon.

These forum antics were lame before the 2008 Facebook culture shift, and they're lame now.
