It may be obvious to some, but this is a fake tweet and the only post today is some early bird pricing for a conference: https://xcancel.com/nvidia/with_replies

Other than the Nvidia stock price, the joke is that the contents of the tweet were something the Intel CEO did tweet after a similar stock plunge! https://xcancel.com/PGelsinger/status/1820129317122080977?lang=en

Just for the context, they lost 16% yesterday, which is one day after the prayer, which tells you about the efficacy of those

[-] Tillman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It’s a joke tweet making fun of the Intel CEO fwiw.

[-] imouto@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thoughts and prayers I guess

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Wdym? It stopped it from dropping further

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 74 points 2 months ago

I have to say it...

X is not a valid name for anything, and will never fit grammatically as a proper name. It doesn't matter how long somebody insists on using it.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Yeah that's why it's a common variable name and it's partly because its a common variable name

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

it took til this comment to make me realize it wasn't "NVIDIA X" like that was a product

[-] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

It's a valid name for the chemical accidentally used by Prof Utonium to create the powerpuff girls.

[-] cadekat@pawb.social 3 points 2 months ago

That's "Chemical X" which is fine.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

It was originally a can of whoopass

So. That’s what chemical x is.

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Then explain "X, a Jesus". He did some cool miracles and shit.

Nvidia:

Cylons:

They're only one step away, people, and I'm not even sure about the 🚫 on red scanning visual sensors.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Not all Cylons have the scanner. Some are sexy:

[-] sga@lemmings.world 4 points 2 months ago

i have no idea what cyclon or scanner is, but man sure is dope

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

In Battlestar Galactica, humanity has fled earth after a hostile takeover by AI. On their last remaining ark fleeing to a habitable planet are Cylons, AI disguised as humans, some not even aware they ARE cylons. Fantastic show.

finally got around to finishing that, it was pretty good, my only beef was

spoilerwhatever the hell Starbuck was after she came back? Also, they introduced the concept of cylons 'casting' visions, but evidently that wasn't what Gaius was experiencing? then what was it? Seemed like they were pushing the idea of christianity in a freaking science fiction show, and it completely turned me off the last season.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Better than the hyper-mormon ending to Ender's Game~

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Wait did I miss something I read that like 10 years ago...

Also, I used to think the message board propaganda thing that the siblings did that radicalized more than half of the voters was far fetched and a little corny. Turns out that was the most realistic part.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I mean books 3 (Xenocide) and 4 (Children of the Mind), as well as his The Memory of Earth series.

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Oh I only read the 1st book

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

They should have stuck with the fan theory that Cylonism could spread like an STD rather than... Whatever the ending was.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah another contender of 'fantastic show that produces an absurd ending that kind of ruins it'. But it was a wild ride the whole time, and I enjoyed it.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah. What was the deal with those flying motorcycles anyway?

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

A scanner is a machine that creates a digital version of a physical object, most commonly a piece of paper. But that's not important right now.

[-] sga@lemmings.world 1 points 2 months ago

i know what paper scanners are, but yes, my question may imply that i want to know what a scanner is in general

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

So say we all. Rawr

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

He probably still has the spine scanner, we just never saw it because the BSG producers are cowards.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I thought that was Josh Gates at first.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago

Hoooly shit, what?

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago

It’s fake, and a joke, but based on a real tweet the Intel CEO made when their stock crashed too.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Aaaah ok.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 20 points 2 months ago

Today we mourn, tomorrow we moon. Buy the dip at 11:59 PM.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

And then Trump implements tariffs on Taiwan and it craters again.

[-] far_university190@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

No way, tarriff only for west taiwan.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Nobody tell Elon Musk about ComStar because he'll use stuff like this to Kickstart Word of Blake

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Wobbies are bad news, people. Everyone gets nuked or murdered by cyborgs.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Can we at least get cool mechs? Or will reality continue being this shitty dystopia with nearly all of the bad and none of the cool?

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 7 points 2 months ago

bought the dip yesterday, i'm currently up 5.25% on Nvidia

[-] Onionguy@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Is NVIDIA praying on the shitter?

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Get in line, Nvidia
