Two minutes ago, I decided to clean up the post-Reddit mess on my phone.

I uninstalled RIF, because I use Wefwef now.

I uninstalled kbin, because I use Wefwef now.

Lots of icons disappeared from my launcher. Oops.

In my haste, I failed to notice that kbin is not an app, but actually a browser app like Wefwef. So I did not uninstall kbin - in fact I uninstalled Firefox! And with that, I lost all my launcher shortcuts, all my open tabs, and all my browser apps ( including kbin but also including Wefwef).

I really don’t know all the stuff I lost that way but hey, if. I don’t miss it then maybe that’s okay?

      The name is so off-putting.

      edit:
      I’m one of the more whimsical dudes I know and I don’t mind disagreement so I’m pretty open to whatever - but please tell me why jubjub.wingdang is something you want to see several hundred times a day.

      Am I missing something? Does wefwef actually mean something, or is it just typical techbrand nonsense? We have gone PAST Idiocracy at this point.

      For some background… I’m a grumpy fucker. wefwef can do better. This is an interview about how the brands in Idiocracy were designed.

      I’m sick and tired of bullshit neosyllabic names that a baby would make:

      • Goo-gle
      • Et-sy
      • Zyn-ga
      • Kag-gle
      • Hu-lu
      • Ven-mo
      • Ya-hoo

      I don’t want to “eeh-ohh” or “lee” your goddamn name:

      • Branch.eeo
      • Keen.eeo
      • Card.eeo
      • Cook.eeo
      • Fluent.eeo
      • Parse.lee
      • Visual.lee

      Dropped vowels are equally annoying to me:

      • Flickr
      • Tumblr
      • Grindr
      • Scribd
      • HatchetHaro

        It’s just a name, so does it really matter? Sometimes people just want to make a good app and sometimes they want to be funny and name it something entirely nonsensical. Maybe you don’t like the name, and that’s okay! I love that name for precisely the same reasons, and it’s just fun to say.
