I realise this isn't really tumblr, but this entire stream just made me laugh so much I thought it deserved a wider audience.

The fuckin community notes made me actually laugh

Could be a time zone thing. In the time zone of the novelty account the death could have happened on the previous date

The biggest "you had one job" fail since the interrupting MARTA bus.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 17 points 4 days ago

Looks like the account posted no in the morning and he died in the evening, at least by UTC. So it's not entirely wrong.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

Which is a huge blunder - seeing how it says "today" in the title.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 4 days ago

Yeah, why wouldn't you post it always towards the end of the day instead.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

To be fair, it's asking "Did Jimmy Carter die today?" not "Will Jimmy Carter have died today?"

Do these type of novelty account usually end up working in the end? Never having used Twitter myself, the only times I have ever seen them is times like this when they end up missing the relevant event, and screenshots of that end up on other platforms like this here.

I assume the owner set up a script to post "no" every day. Nothing more complex like trying to auto-read news posts to find a relevant one or something.

The owner just didn't see the news in time to stop the bot.

I admit this is the first one I've seen.

I might set one up for "the end of the world"

Has the world ended today?

No. No. No. No. No.

Because on the day the world explodes............. yeah, hold on........ I'm starting to see the flaw in this plan.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 8 points 4 days ago

Go ahead and do it!

When the world really does end, it's not like anyone will be there to snarkily post "yeah but it DID so you're wrong" so you get the last laugh, posthumously.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
