@gdkar when you think about it a gun is just a sword but like it throws its own blade at the target multiple times
and if you think about that a bullet is just a really tiny fast moving sword
and if you think about THAT, a sword is really just a gun without its own propulsion system
ergo
the sun is a deadly lase-hfjksdkljafhskdjf i have no idea where i was going with this
@najimi@hellsite.site @monorail wait hold up hold up
... okay so truth is apparently it WAS a bot, but in 2011, it was bought by a buzzfeed employee and run for two years to promote some kind of AR game through viral marketing. immediately after it was revealed, the horse_ebooks account stopped being posted to.
Ironic. a spambot that evaded detection by not mass following and @ing people was so beloved, that when it was taken over, it lost its soul, and people noticed the drop in quality
@najimi@hellsite.site @monorail oh dang it also turns out that horse_ebooks wasn't actually a bot, it was a buzzfeed employee apparently, so it was all manually cribbed and posted stuff.
@najimi@hellsite.site @monorail horse_ebooks' greatest triumph was having an account that did nothing but make comics out of its generated tweets, horse_ecomics.
... I kinda miss those comics tbqh. they were silly and fun.
