minus-square🔍🦘🛎@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoEven if the number was chosen completely arbitrarily, why would it warrent a “yikes”?
minus-squareunmagical@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoPretty sure the “Yikes” was because the number was obviously not arbitrary and the tech reporter didn’t know that. If it were truly an arbitrary number it likely wouldn’t warrant a “yikes.”
minus-square🔍🦘🛎@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year ago…what? Lol Say the chat size increased to 317. Why would the tech writer say “yikes”? Just because it’s not divisible by 5 or 10?
minus-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThe tech writer didn’t say yikes. The first person to post it did, then someone else reposted while keeping the original poster’s reaction.
minus-square🔍🦘🛎@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoAh yeah I see that now. Still a bizarre reaction from the randim tumblr user, but that’s just typical tumblr stuff.
