I hate the name "Threads" because all it makes me think about is nuclear war.
- EricE 3y agoMade me think of Dragonriders of Pern.
- andrewstuart 3y agoMakes me think of knitted jumpers.
- queuebert 3y agoI think about POSIX threads, but C is a formative part of my brain. Does anyone else have a general dislike of companies trademarking such generic, common words? It feels very tacky to try to associate themselves with everyday nouns and adjectives in an attempt to place their product in our brains at every opportunity. Might as well block the windows of my house with a giant billboard.
- flkenosad 3y agoYes. Trademarking is dumb in general. It's a power tool for the elites.
- bagels 3y agoApparently this is the title of a movie about nuclear war.
- hotnfresh 3y agoAn exceptionally harrowing one, yep. Content related to it is the first few results if I search for "threads" on Youtube (down a few results, videos mocking Facebook's "Threads" start getting mixed in) Viewable here (consider using the torrent): https://archive.org/details/threads_202007 https://archive.org/details/threads_202007
- GolfPopper 3y agoIt makes me think about all-devouring alien monstrosities that need to be burned with fire. It also plays a role in a popular series of SF novels by Anne McCaffrey.
- djmips 3y agoI think clothing. Nice threads bro.
