Temu Knockoff Sparks Compute-Envy Skirmish

Poteto asks a bot for bangers about the Temu knockoff of Tibo; Tibo smells fear, Poteto names dots, and the thread escalates to reset schedules and compute shortages before fizzling into a link.

THE PLAY-BY-PLAY · EDITORIAL

Poteto opens by asking @bot for bangers about the Temu knockoff of Tibo. Tibo replies, "I smell fear." Poteto asks how he knew it was about dots; Tibo calls it the only thing she talks about and claims to recognize the obsession. Poteto counters with "Maybe you should let me poast while you focus on your 28 days of resets." Tibo says it will be "even more blissful to manage both." Poteto lands "If only you had the compute," and the exchange ends there—no winner, no further escalation, just a link dropped later. The crowd, meanwhile, takes the bit too far: "I smell love," dating advice, and a room request.

The crowd has notes.
