:Maybe, this Bill Gates video was released two days before this comic.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 21:22, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 
  
It's somewhat ironic, that the first statement of Cueball is less than 140 characters long. Also, the whole situation seems similar to that in {{w|Earth Unaware}} by Orson Scott Card ... or maybe I should not tell the ending of the book.

Note that this is a {{w|press conference}}. All questions are made by professional journalists, not by simple Twitter users. [[User:Xhfz|Xhfz]] ([[User talk:Xhfz|talk]]) 22:57, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 
 
Note that voting booths have only one character per message (sometimes only one bit), and nevertheless many people are interested in their outcome. I changed Twitter by "voting booth" and the following explanation becomes absurd.
 
:On a ''voting booth'' you can send messages with ''exactly one'' character. This means that there could not be much content in a single ''vote'', but often many people follow the people ''voting''. People who are not on ''democracy'' tend to react like Cueball and come to the conclusion that ''voting booths'' make press coverage more stupid, just because those messages lack many detail.

I mean, SpaceX could decide a clockwise or Anti-clockwise oribt based on a social media poll. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.184|141.101.99.184]] 20:34, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
