People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Ironically, it's a very old term for a powerpoint presentation. Presentations used to be done with actual photographic slides in a projector. They were stored in a deck of slides.
I only know this from Mad Men.
It's a carousel of slides, you heathen.
Carousels came later :P
It looks like you're right. Apparently, some dude on Madison Avenue cooked up that name to help them sell.
Carousels are only the round ones.
Chu Chu Chunk.
So what he’s saying is everyone in his company is 90 and he was fooling them into thinking he’s 90 too
The implication of the OP is that using "PowerPoint Presentation" makes the guy sound old, but "slide deck" is an older term, so is OP saying that he's younger than everyone else in the meeting? But then why would he complain about that?
It's a really confusing post.
Well, he didn’t say “old.” He said “now everyone knows I’m 40.” Maybe 40 is young by comparison.
But you’re definitely right, it’s confusing framing
Wait until they hear about film strips.
This is a great little fact, thanks.
