Wintermute (the author of that tweet) was the name of the admin of the original german lemmy instance “feddit.de”. At some point Wintermute said they would go on vacation, I think to somewhere in asia. After that they were never heard from again and the instance decayed and we all had to move to feddit.org eventuall.
Now… what if Wintermute fell down a manhole cover??
I am aware. Ive even been there. But in the show (Seinfeld) it’s a Burmese prison. Jerry even says ‘hey isn’t it Myanmar now?’ And Peterman says ‘you may know it as Myanmar, but it’ll always be Burma to me’, with the impression that he’s been there many times before. He then starts speaking the language then admits he was just making up jibberish

Wintermute is the name of a character from William Gibson’s Neuromancer novels, so it’s fairly common. But the German angle does add a bit of spice…
Holy shit
