A hundred years building to that one second of complete and utter failure.

I realise this isn't really tumblr, but this entire stream just made me laugh so much I thought it deserved a wider audience.

Could be a time zone thing. In the time zone of the novelty account the death could have happened on the previous date

The biggest "you had one job" fail since the interrupting MARTA bus.

Looks like the account posted no in the morning and he died in the evening, at least by UTC. So it's not entirely wrong.

Which is a huge blunder - seeing how it says "today" in the title.

Yeah, why wouldn't you post it always towards the end of the day instead.

To be fair, it's asking "Did Jimmy Carter die today?" not "Will Jimmy Carter have died today?"

Do these type of novelty account usually end up working in the end? Never having used Twitter myself, the only times I have ever seen them is times like this when they end up missing the relevant event, and screenshots of that end up on other platforms like this here.

I admit this is the first one I've seen.

I might set one up for "the end of the world"

Has the world ended today?

No. No. No. No. No.

Because on the day the world explodes............. yeah, hold on........ I'm starting to see the flaw in this plan.

I must be missing something, cause "CJ" to me is the Press Secretary from The West Wing, and I don't remember her having to follow a train.................

Unless this is one of those weird episodes they never broadcast? ("Bartlett and Cregg, PI" ?)

I thought it was just a reference to the fact that big smoke says the same line every time you fail which was incredibly infuriating if you fail multiple times in a row.

"REALLY BIG SMOKE!? THAT'S ALL I HAD TO DO!? FOLLOW THE TRAIN!? ALL YO BITCH ASS HAD TO DO WAS SHOOT THOSE MFER'S YET HERE WE ARE"

Then that piece of shit betrays us.

Big Smoke is THE asshole through the game so him repeating that line fits very well.

I still like the theory that he only took so long to order so the other gang had time to get there

GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

See -- that makes more sense.

Although now I kind of want to see the former President and his ex chief of staff solving crimes and chasing trains................
