I just love how literary no one involved even acknowledged the existence of Threads lmfao.

Literary or literally? (hint: neither are correct.)

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 week ago

literally is objectively correct in this context

In the secondary, new-age definition of "literally" yes that's true.

We lost the war for "literally". It's now just an emphasis word. The definition is mind bending:

1)in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

2)informal; used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

On the bright side less people use "absolutely" incorrectly than before.

Sure, but where in the image do you see someone acknowledge the existence of Threads?

I used to see people having some sort of threads number on their instagram profile, now sometimes i forget that even exists lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

It's the same number on every Instagram profile
