Babylon Bee

quote:

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—In response to frequent and passionate requests from a handful of users, Twitter announced a new “Send Mob” feature for its popular social media platform. Now, whenever a twitter debate gets particularly heated, Twitter’s algorithm will automatically enable a “Send Mob” button, allowing users to send an angry crowd to their opponent’s location.


quote:

For years, Twitter has been at the cutting edge of tearing people apart for having different opinions from you,” Twitter tweeted today. “After a series of trial tests, we are pleased to release this new feature to the public, knowing that there could be no downsides whatsoever to enabling unbridled, impulsive rage!”


quote:

“Honestly, we didn’t really have any choice,” said Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. “Two or three blue-checked Twitter users threatened to deplatform me if we didn’t add this feature.”

Twitter says they are also testing a “Tar and Feather” feature, with eventual plans for a guillotine button.

If that were true, I'd actually sign up, and get a Twitter acct.

It would be like playing the old civilization game back in the day. You could basically try defeating your opposition with real life npc's..

A lot of people don't realize Babylon Bee is a satire website.

Says a lot that this story will get traction anyway

I know it’s hard to tell these days, but it’s satire.

If it was true, you could easily lure said mob to attack a fortified location manned by many baws with long guns.

This will unfortunately be repeated as fact within a couple of days like the faux paw patrol outrage.

Nah, but I'm wondering how long it will take Snopes or Politifact to "fact check" the Bee again.
