Wait is "Tim Onion" a silly joke riffing on Tim Apple (think that's his name) at Apple?

[–] troybot@midwest.social 30 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Yes Tim Apple, the inventor of the Apple computer

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Not Tim Cook, the inventor of the Cook apputer?

Lol yeah, except the Apple guy's name is actually Tim Cook. But then Trump called him Tim Apple and it became a meme.

Hmm nah, "Tim Cook"? I don't think that's right, pretty sure it's Tim Apple...
