Curse English idioms, I literally thought they were rebranding to Mud.

I mean, after X it looks downright sensible.

It’s a more down to earth name at least.

It’s because of the capitalization. If the title was “SanDisk’s name is now mud” this wouldn’t happen.

I mean I get what you’re saying, but a title is always capitalized, no?

I thought so too. I always capitalized my post titles on the old site until someone said I’m a dumbass for doing that and that it’s annoying. 🤷‍♂️

It wasn’t always like that. A shift happened on the internet like 10 years ago I believe.

I guess I was thinking that if Gwyneth Paltrow could found a company called Goop that anything goes these days.

I’m pretty sure that was the author’s intention.

Probably very deliberate, in the wake of Twitter’s disastrous rebranding.

find fringe idiom

capitalise all words

and… send

There. Easy clickbait.

Wouldn’t be the weirdest rebrand recently, honestly

I thought they were pulling a Facebook and rebranded themselves to avoid the bad press.
