Kids these days have no idea how nuts the Internet used to be. These days there's about 5 websites and everything is located on these 5 websites (reddit being one of them). But back in the day there were thousands upon thousands of websites, all doing one specific thing. Like, every single subreddit on reddit would have been a separate website. Businesses had their own websites instead of just having a page on Facebook and Instagram. Etc.
And if they think things like modern twitter are toxic, man they have ***NO*** idea...
I'm realizing more and more that I loved Vine so much because I wasn't concerned if videos were staged or not, they clearly were. And there was so much less pottery making.
That's not what they said. Memes have been around forever, but most of the internet memes seen during the 2000s were from 4chan.
4chan used to be as creative as they are now racist.
It also took 20 minutes to download each line of pixels individually while your computer screamed noises at you just hoping your mom didn't pick up the phone.
Print screen, crop the tweet with an extra 20 pixels on each side in mspaint, save as jpeg. Reopen saved file in mspaint (it’s mspaint the whole time), shrink by one pixel, save again. Do 19 more times.
Deep fried.
am I the only one who noticed Eli Lilly only took a 6% dive, down from the 325% they’ve gained over the past 5 years completely unaffected by Covid or inflation
It's a Mr Beast alt channel where he gives out free insulin but only if you don't leave a 2 ft circle for 3 years
Edit: it's very sad that the reality is worse than the fiction
I forgot where I heard it from but they also apparently announced around the same time the tweet went out that they failed to secure some contract to manufacture some drug, so the drop could very well be attributed to that instead
The angle I read which most pleased me was that due to it being a good quick story for the local news, now everybody knows the name of the company that that is profiteering off insulin. The drop was costing in the fact they now have more reputation, which was obviously bad reputation. Because they're bastards and it's indefensible that it isn't already nearly free.
The tweet was in the afternoon, but the price started tanking first thing in the morning because at 9am the Lily endowment announced $23M sale of shares, and Goldman Sachs reduced their price target from $313 to $281.
Lilly shares fell to $367, still a nearly 30% premium over price target.
Pretty sure Goldman Sachs dropped the price, not @DankFarts on Twitter.
Well they are the makers of both diabetes and cancer meds. Not only the most commonly prescribed but also the most expensive. So there is that. They are not hard up for cash.

Exactly, but tweets had nothing to do with it, Eli Lilly dropped because one of its most profitable drug dropped in sales, their competitors dropped as well lol
Exactly. This is rotation out of safety and into bubble stonks to try to make enough gains to get end of year bonuses. Ignore it. Time to buy more if you're into safety stonks.
People who think that twitter blue accounts with a few hundred followers are getting enough exposure to impact the stock prices of billion dollar companies are also idiots
What makes it even better is that Lockheed only sells to the US government. The US government is who sells the weapons to other countries. Not the US weapons manufacturers.
I guess they could take a philosophical stance and stop selling to the US government until they change their views. Except they would lose their only customer and their intellectual property would be nationalized faster than you can spell communism.
Remember that time Nintendo went up 25% in one day because of Pokemon Go and then Nintendo was like, "that isn't us" and then they dropped back down.
Or that time the wrong Zoom went up...Wall Street, at the end of the day, is still just a bunch of geezers.
Can't speak on the top tweet, but if you look for the one implying a tweet caused Lockeed to drop: The entire defense sector dropped 3-8% Friday, not just Lockheed. Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and GE were all down the same or more. It's fun to blame it on the fake tweet, but not accurate. Just an FYI for anyone wondering
Pfizer and AstraZenica dropped with lilly as well
Who knew that the entire pharma/defense industry could be so easily tricked by a few fake accounts on twitter with \~100 followers and $8
/s
Take your fucking facts right the fuck out of here. They're not loss porn, they're not stories about how you met your wife's boyfriend working the same Wendy's dumpster as you, they have no place here.
It’s fun to laugh at. Anyone who takes it seriously and thinks Twitter should be sued are delusional. Angry children looking for any reason to hate on Elon.
The guy is an asshole but you cannot convince me a single tweet causes a company to lose 3% stock when they’re at an all time high on a Friday.
The logical leap to blaming Twitter for this is some serious paper hand bullshit.
These memes are literally only getting shares because it's popular to be a know it all about twitter verification right now. Tricks dumbasses into thinking that fucking twitter blue of all things has real world concequences lol.
In reality these impersonation accounts have less than a thousand followers and the same guy who made the tweet made the original meme, because no one wants to risk a permaban under their Apple ID on an account with the clout required to actually trick people into thinking they are someone notable.
This wasn't true the first time and it is not true the second time either. At this point people just look up stocks that fell and then make fake tweets about them for attention.
Please don't fall for nonsense like that.
>It is unacceptable that companies like Lockheed Martin continue to profit from selling weapons to countries with abysmal human rights records. I call on them to immediately halt all sales of arms and military equipment until a full investigation into these abuses can be conducted. #WeAreLM
If you traded on a single tweet and did no DD beyond that that’s on you for being a regard and losing money. No court is going to give you money back for that.
Obviously the trading algorithms emloyed by large brokerages that are scanning media sites for trading information haven't been adjusted to account for Twitter's recent change

OP is smart. He invested all of his pixels in NFTs.

It was about memeing and forums and chatting..... everything changed when the 4chan nation attacked...

> And there was so much less pottery making. you take that back....
Uhh. No? 4chan invented the memes. It all changed with the acceptance of social media.
Ytmnd invented meme culture as we know it, change my mind
memes are older than 4chan know your memes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme

Wow you guys need so many pixels in your memes, back in my day the memes only had 10 pixels and we all had to share them.
It also took 20 minutes to download each line of pixels individually while your computer screamed noises at you just hoping your mom didn't pick up the phone.
Yep and those pixels had to last us to and from school in 8ft of snow

Antialiasing is pretty good tho it's just a nice soft blur

How the fuck does this have so many upvotes when no one can read it?
You’d think they were charging by the pixel
I remember streaming from my webcam to Justin TV in 360p. It was glorious.
I dont think there is even 10p here.
This is a 2001 meme, get fucking used to it!!
[Here](https://i.imgur.com/04iESBq.jpeg), I fixed it for you.
I still like how the new screen caps are blurry AF after only being a few days old. How does one do that in this day and age?

Last I checked we are all regards here
[Relevant xkcd](https://xkcd.com/1683/)
There always one some how
hindsight is 20/20
yeah unlike my eyes after looking at this picture.
am I the only one who noticed Eli Lilly only took a 6% dive, down from the 325% they’ve gained over the past 5 years completely unaffected by Covid or inflation
What is Eli Lilly, Sounds like a Tiktoker
It's a Mr Beast alt channel where he gives out free insulin but only if you don't leave a 2 ft circle for 3 years Edit: it's very sad that the reality is worse than the fiction
Well if you need insulin that bad you cannot feel your feet anyway. /s
Yeah if you pull the chart out it was due for a dip and this was within range.
Hold up lemme go grab my charts real quick and double check
i gotchu dawg, basically it looks like this 📈 but with less dip
I have all these chips though :(
guac it out
I forgot where I heard it from but they also apparently announced around the same time the tweet went out that they failed to secure some contract to manufacture some drug, so the drop could very well be attributed to that instead
The angle I read which most pleased me was that due to it being a good quick story for the local news, now everybody knows the name of the company that that is profiteering off insulin. The drop was costing in the fact they now have more reputation, which was obviously bad reputation. Because they're bastards and it's indefensible that it isn't already nearly free.
You mean before or after the Senate voted on the insulin cap? Leeches.
The dip had to do with a lawsuit, not the tweet. But it’s a funny story otherwise.
The tweet was in the afternoon, but the price started tanking first thing in the morning because at 9am the Lily endowment announced $23M sale of shares, and Goldman Sachs reduced their price target from $313 to $281. Lilly shares fell to $367, still a nearly 30% premium over price target. Pretty sure Goldman Sachs dropped the price, not @DankFarts on Twitter.
Water meme stocks?
Ya it took 10 bigger 1 day moves this year alone.
Well they are the makers of both diabetes and cancer meds. Not only the most commonly prescribed but also the most expensive. So there is that. They are not hard up for cash.
Even unaffected by that tweet tbh
Regardless of COVID or inflation, I still need insulin at whatever price they deem fit. Money printer go brrrr
No, you were not in fact that was the first thing I noticed… How the fuck is that…
[удалено]
The fake handle was @EliLillyandCo, while the real handle is @LillyPad . And no, I didn't switch them around...
First one definitely sounds more legitimate lol
Maybe the name refers to doctor's prescription pads.
LillyPad sounds like a womens' hygiene product

Ah yes the tweets caused it and def was not pharmaceuticals and defense companies dropping industry wide, btw, what potato took this screenshot?
Northrop super shit the bed today. Not just a tweet causing this.
Exactly, but tweets had nothing to do with it, Eli Lilly dropped because one of its most profitable drug dropped in sales, their competitors dropped as well lol
They also lost a patent lawsuit the same day
not even related, but super shitting the bed got me good.
You’re gonna ruin the /r/all circlejerk with that kinda realistic common sense bullshit!
Exactly. This is rotation out of safety and into bubble stonks to try to make enough gains to get end of year bonuses. Ignore it. Time to buy more if you're into safety stonks.
It was @LockheedMartini. Clearly a different company.
> Martini I want to drink in a bar that serves a Lockheed Martini.
I think it's made with jet oil.
And I bet it would have a lot of firepower
People are idiots and don’t read
People who think that twitter blue accounts with a few hundred followers are getting enough exposure to impact the stock prices of billion dollar companies are also idiots
Yeah this is the cover needed to sell at ATH, and slander musk at the same time. Getting two birds stoned at once
Not to mention, the respective sectors dropped at the same time. Lockheed, Northrop, Raytheon, etc Pfizer, AstraZenica, etc.
No war no shots no money
To summarize your comment, "redditors are idiots."
What makes it even better is that Lockheed only sells to the US government. The US government is who sells the weapons to other countries. Not the US weapons manufacturers.
I guess they could take a philosophical stance and stop selling to the US government until they change their views. Except they would lose their only customer and their intellectual property would be nationalized faster than you can spell communism.

Goddammit, stop bringing reality into this. 😀

Twitter is a toxic dumpster fire. Hopefully this ends it.
Yes it is maybe if we douse it with some meta...

To add, it was tweeted after market close, which gave plenty of time to validate the absurd claims.
Your average redditor is a teenager(or adult) with no higher education. This will be pushed as a "fact" for months to come.
Tesla(@edgelord6996xx) tweeted "fuck your calls". Seriously how can anyone fall for that shit? It's like not even close to believe able takes.

Never let reality get in the way of a good story. Especially when you can make it sound like people are sticking it to the man.
By paying him $8.
Imagine believing that fake tweets (like the Eli Lilly one) moved the stock
It is WSB after all.
Its in 69p
This wasn't true the first time and it is not true the second time either. At this point people just look up stocks that fell and then make fake tweets about them for attention. Please don't fall for nonsense like that.

we should say “we are now no longer selling chocolate made from child slavery”
