Lol it’s probably one of the most famous weather delays in history.
If they knew their history, they wouldn’t be repeating it.
You should put that on a bumper sticker!
History is written by the whiners.
This feels like a joke that anticipates the community notes as a punchline. I don’t frequent Twitter, but I have to imagine this is a burgeoning genre of comedy tweet
I haven’t seen it used that way yet, but seems like a clever meta. Honestly community notes might be the only good thing on the entire platform. My favorite is when there are community notes on ads.
If it is in fact a joke, this format has been around forever, it just has a new implementation here.
Sure agreed; anyone who has seen Arrested Development has seen this basic dynamic play out a few dozen times, and that’s just one example.
you don’t even have to know history to know this. you just have to watch the first episode of band of brothers
Never take advices from people wearing suits
Funny half related story. For a bit in my mid-20s I was a manager in training for enterprise (shit company, shit job, do not recommend). I’m this position, we were required to wear a suit, even while cleaning the cars. One day a dude came off the plane looking for a car, I was helping him and giving my speil and he pretty politely stopped me and said something to the effect of, that’s nice and all, but I don’t really trust dudes in suits. A little caught off guard, but attempting to be friendly, I said cool and let him do his thing. It still sticks with me. Something about a suit can say, I‘ve decided to look presentable so you believe me. Not sure if it’s a positive or negative, but he‘s had me thinking for ten years.
That’s why you should wear a waistcoat instead of a suit 😎
I’ll stick to my loincloth just as it sticks to me. Really helps bring out the free thinker in people
Free thinker or free tinker? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Never underestimate the power of a sweater-vest.
At one of my first jobs, they had a policy that you couldn’t meet clients without a suit and (company) necktie. Since we mostly accompanied the sales department to sit there and shut up unless specifically asked a technically question, we took to calling it the “liesuit”. After all, it’s what you wore when lying to your customers.
Should’ve pulled a Saul Goodman and started attending with flashy suits.

A suit says “I’m a businessman, and therefore a dishonest man.” That’s why all politicians and the majority of preachers wear suits.
Community Notes is the Ron Howard Narrator of Twitter.
Not just Operation Overlord (which I’m betting this jamoke doesn’t even know), but all kinds of military operations were postponed due to weather and other reasons. It’s how strategy works. I assume the extent of guy’s military expertise stops at shouting racist slurs while playing COD, and I even say this as a not-actually-an-expert type of person.
Plus, if we look at times when they didn’t cancel when they should have, we get things like Challenger exploding on live TV.
Word, good example. That one traumatized me, I was four years old when I saw it go down, and had a terrible fear of countdown timers (e.g., microwave oven timer) for quite a while after that.
I mean tbf, he did say ‘cancelled,’ not delayed.
There was a window of opportunity where the tides were low and the weather was right. It’s completely possible that if those two things didn’t come together, it just couldn’t happen. The English Channel has some nasty weather, too.
For those wondering, they needed the tides to be low in order to avoid beach defenses.
Things like D-Day can get postponed because of things like fog, too, let alone just what this guy meant by “rough weather”.
Fun fact: the “D” in “D-Day” stands for “day”.
I wonder what the h in h-hour stands for
Horse
Howitzer
Harambe!
Ours out for Harambe
Yeah but what does the other one stand for?
Same, the full term is Day-Dayay
Day day sounds like chai tea
Day of days!
Community notes can be used as a good narrator.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
