Yabba Dabba Doo! X Marks the Spot for Another Outage!

Great Gazoo Strikes Again?

Yabba Dabba Doo! Your pal Fred Flinstone here reporting live from beautiful downtown Bedrock! Now you know I ain't one for them newfangled gadgets but even I heard the ruckus this past Saturday. Seems like that Elon Musk fella's bird thingy X – you might remember it better as Twitter – went belly up! Like a brontosaurus burger dropped on the floor twenty five thousand folks were screamin' they couldn't use it! Can you imagine? No gossip no nothin'! A fella couldn't even tell Barney he was late for bowling without actually yellin' across the street.

8:30 AM? That's Sleepin' In Time!

Now the eggheads over at Downdetector – sounds like a detective agency run by dinosaurs if you ask me – say it all started around 8:30 in the mornin'. 8:30! That's sleepin' in time for a hardworking caveman like myself! I bet half of 'em were tryin' to order a post slumber bronto burger and found the X was deader than a doornail. Imagine the horror!

A Whole Hour and a Half of Chaos!

The whole shebang lasted 'til almost 10! An hour and a half of pure digital darkness! I tell ya back in my day if the slate carving machine broke we just grabbed a chisel and got back to work. These modern contraptions though... hoo boy. Give me a good ol' rock and hammer any day!

Elon's Elephants in the Room

Of course nobody from X wanted to tell ol' Fred what happened. Probably too busy blaming the outage on a sabertooth tiger chewin' on the wires. But this ain't the first time! Last March they had another whopper of a shutdown. Musk blamed it on a 'massive cyberattack'. Said it was attacked every day but that it had a lot of resources. I always says 'if you ain't got nothing good to say say nothing at all!'

Is it a Cyberattack or Just Dino Trouble?

Cyberattack my pet rock! Sounds more like a Great Gazoo prank to me! That little green Martian is always messin' with things he doesn't understand. Maybe he's tryin' to figure out how to order a bronto burger online too.

I'll Stick to Bowling

Anyway that's the long and short of it. This X thingy went kaput again. Makes a fella appreciate a good game of bowling where the only thing that crashes is the pins! Yabba Dabba Doo!
