- A: Did you get that thing done that you wanted to? The research project on caterpillar symbolism in punk band album art? B: No! The friggin golf ball discourse waylaid me all day! A: Golf Ball? Oh is this the thing people were tweeting about? B: Yeah some guy bragged about giving his kids single golf balls as birthday presents their whole lives. He had this whole thread, and then he got ratio'd and everyone started weighing in on the classist implications and so on. People were sharing sad stories about their childhoods, "buckle up" threads were spiraling out of it all... there were a lot of angles to it. You didn't see ANY of this? A: I saw some people tweeting about golf balls but I didn't know what it was in reference to. so I ignored it. ... B: HOW??? (remote)
