TIL: “acme” means “highest point of something” and not just Wile E. Coyote’s favorite place to shop 😂
@joshuapsteele Even as a kid I wondered about Roadrunner economics: Wile E Coyote is constantly ordering stuff from Acme though he obviously has no money. What’s the business model here?
@JohnBrady How do you know he has no money? He has business cards, maybe he does consulting on the side.
@dwalbert … and he must have a postal address too. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes, apparently.
@JohnBrady These days I just presume Wile E Coyote is funded based on a business plan that says he’ll be applying AI to the pressing issue of capturing road runners, and that the money comes from private equity firms counting on all the publicity to flip their investment to bigger fools in a couple of years.
