The dumbest thing I've seen today: this tweet
-

Well duh, as some great linguists have taught us, the word "irony" means whatever the fuck you need it to mean.
-
-
Irony in 90% of cases is a catch-all phrase for "obviously clever in some way, I just don't know why"
-
-
For those of us too tired to get the context between the two tweets (which could be referring to the article), and can't follow the links, can you TL;DR;?
Or is it just the standard random internet comment?
-
That's not even in my top 100.
-
Irony... What, he means to say "Edison is bettur than Tesla, omigoood!"? Because... What?
He... he does realize that we use both AC and DC to this day, right? And that AC is enabling him to run all those DC devices because it's efficient to transfer it, right? And... and...
Sorry, I started thinking there. Happens when I see that much stupid, the brain starts trying to compensate.

I'd say "that's the joke", but honestly, it was only when you pointed it out that I got it.
Well, it's kind of... a funny coincidence?

I assume @DoubleSuper1 also thinks that this is the greatest piece of writing in the history of mankind: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla

I do have to admit some liking of that due to personal bias. The guy was my homie after all (born and lived in my patch of the planet before moving to Austria and then US).
-
I think that due to the retarded pop culture thing with the Edison vs. Tesla thing, people somehow got the impression that Edison would be opposed to electric cars because Tesla (the company, not the person) supports them? So it's kind of like they've developed this knee-jerk that whatever anything associated with the word "Tesla" does, Edison would do the opposite.
Of course it makes zero sense to believe that Edison, a man who devoted his life to finding new uses for electricity, would be opposed to electric cars.
That's the best theory I have as to the "irony" right now.

There's no missing context, except the photo attached to the first tweet is a photo of Edison examining the motor of an early electric car.
The second "irony" tweet is a direct response to the first tweet.

It reminds me of that incident a few years ago, when a Microsoft employee took a photo of a UPS truck unloading a bunch of Mac Pros at a Microsoft building's loading dock. There were a million "point and laugh" social media posts, "hahaha M$ sux they buy Apple computerz which are gud!"
None of those retards apparently realized that Microsoft builds Mac software, too. So, uh, maybe they actually need to own a few Macs to, you know, compile and test it? Fucking idiots.

I'm going with the "it's a photo of Edison, and the company is named Tesla, and it's kinda funny because those two are like the sworn enemies or whatnot".

How ironic! Next you'll tell me that Microsoft used to sell their own version of UNIX.
-
They even wrote Internet Explorer for UNIX ...

This event inspired me to go look at my twitter, which has apparently been hijacked by Russian spammers. I use a random generated long password, and have no applications installed. What the fuck.
Used a 'free' service to delete the tweets and revoked access to the account, but I just realized that on granting access, and revoking access, neither one prompted me for permissions.
This also remind me of an issue I believe the implicit grant flow the twitch app uses has when you're logged in to the other site in question. I think there is credential hijacking going on if you're logged in to the app on the same browser.
I changed my password, but I don't think it's going to solve the issue if the implicit grant is in fact what happened.

This really isn't all that dumb.

Yeah, that was my assumption, and it's chuckle worthy. Not hilarious or anything, but then again, I don't know what else blakey saw that day.

This could be a good catch-all topic. To wit:

All of the responses are amazing.

Huffington Post reporter Ryan J. Reilly made an unfortunate mix-up on Twitter while reporting about the events in Furguson, Missouri:

No surprise that a HuffPo writer gets it wrong when it comes to firearms.

Evidently, the process for writing about firearms policy is to learn that guns go bang, and guess from there on out.
