This isn't a logo. It's a cry for help from a severely distressed mind.

I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills.

That's 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit.

I honestly don't think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life.

Edit: more mind bogglery!

The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)

I love revisiting comments like these every 4 years.

Then why are they even still there?

Sunk cost fallacy or misplaced hope are other options outside of Napoleon complex.

$50 per year to change an icon.

Eh.. It has its place (especially if dude is going to set me up like that), and can be ignored if it's not your cup of tea.

Prurient banter has been a part of online forums since BBS message boards. It's how most people I know communicate IRL and online: Bullshit, bullshit, nugget of wisdom, picture of cat.

Not everything needs to be THUPER THERIAL, but it can be (and has frequently been) overdone because a lot of people don't realize that self-censorship is a hammer to be swung heavily.

Because we will never reach a billion users and exist for 200 years like yo momma.

What do you mean that Mastodon promotes the discussion of complete ideas with room for context and citations?

I'm just here to be force fed hyperbole at a rate slightly slower than would pop a blood vessel in my brain.

Preface: I have no opinion. Have not installed, and will not install because I don't need it.

If you have to ask, it's probably worth investigating further.

The first thing I would do is search around for any mention of the app name and variants on the word "password".

Never install anything that you don't trust, and dissociate from your "real" email/identity for those that you aren't sure about. Whoever owns the software potentially owns your credentials.
