Itwas hilarious watching your Facebook feed transform into what looked like a script from 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. While multiple articles still claim that this selection is a possibility, it's not. If you access your language settings on Facebook, the "English (Pirate)" option is no longer available.
It hasn't been available on the app for a while now, but now you can't even access pirate language on a desktop. Why? Well, apparently the pirate feature is now in beta mode which means it's not available to every Facebook user.
Heads-ups!! Almost every account is being cloned. Your picture and your name are used to create a new facebook account (they don't need your password to do this). They want your friends to add them to their facebook account. Your friends will think that it's you and accept your request. From that point on they can write what they want under your name. I have NO plans to open a new account. Please DO NOT accept a 2nd friend request from "me". Copy this message on your wall.
WARNING!! Some hackers are now taking your profile picture and your name and creating a new FB account. They then ask your friends to add them. Your friends think it is you, so they accept. From that moment on they can say and post whatever they want under your name. Please don't accept a second friendship request from me, I have only one account. Copy this on your wall to keep others informed.
New scam on Facebook ... There is now "Pirates" who copy your profile picture and asks for friendship in your name with a new account. Do not accept any requests in my name since this is my only account ... Thanks to all ... Copy this post to the wall ... Recommended to all your contacts
Please be careful: some hackers have found something new. They take your profile picture and your name and create a new FB account. Then they ask your friends to add them. Your friends think it is you, so they accept. From that moment on they can say and post whatever they want under your name. Please don't accept a second friendship demand from me, I have only one account.
It is true in a general sense that some scammers have engaged in Facebook cloning, a process in which the scammer creates a new Facebook account using a profile picture and similar name taken from an existing user, then sends out friend requests which appear to originate from that user. (The requests often claim the sender has just set up a new Facebook account or was locked out of his previous account.) The end purpose of such scams varies: it may be to send Facebook users links to malicious websites that propagate malware, to perpetrate phishing schemes, or to collect personal information from users that can be used for identity theft.
However, contrary to the example texts reproduced above, Facebook cloning is not a "new scam," nor is there any evidence that its occurrence has increased greatly in recent days. (It also isn't a "hack," as the scam requires no special privileges nor breaking in to any Facebook accounts to accomplish.)
In general, Facebook users should always be cautious with friend requests: attempt to verify their validity before accepting them, be wary of additional requests from persons you have already befriended, and take care about what information you share with friends on Facebook.
Avast there!As ye know, today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but was ye also aware that Facebook have a pirate tongue option in ye olde language option list? Nay? Then follow this here map to pirate-speak treasure!
The BEST site to use for shipping. Best international pricing and just so user friendly. I used to use Shipping Easy. They forced you to put $10 in your account at a time. At Pirate Ship you just pay for the shipping cost (I put it directly to my CC) and that's it. Honestly makes my life so much easier when selling online. They also have the fastest and most friendly customer service I've ever seen for anything. I hardly leave reviews but I had to for them. Thank you guys for everything. ?
I have been telling all my small business friends to "Become a Pirate"! Better rates... easy label printing, and address storage of previous customers! Yargggg ye fellow pirates save me a lot of Loot
Honestly, I don't know where my business would be without Pirate Ship. I've literally saved thousands of dollars, countless hours, and many a headache using this service but the best part is their commitment to customer service. They're always friendly, funny, and absolutely dedicated to solving your problem even if they're not at fault. In fact, I've modeled my own customer service after their approach and it's been so successful with my own clients. It's such a simple formula but so often overlooked by other companies. I'm excited to see this company evolve and thrilled to be part of their journey. Sail on, swashbucklers!

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers of Albany, Oregon,[1] who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate (that is, in English with a stereotypical West Country accent).[2] It has since been adopted by the Pastafarianism movement.[3]
The holiday resulted from a sports injury. During a racquetball game between Summers and Baur, one of them, in pain, said, "Aaarrr!" and the idea was born. The game took place on June 6, 1995, but out of respect for the observance of the Normandy landings, they chose Summers' ex-wife's birthday, as it would be easy for him to remember.[1][4]
At first an inside joke between two friends, the holiday gained exposure when Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to the American syndicated humor columnist Dave Barry in 2002.[5] Barry liked the idea and promoted the day,[5] and later appeared in a cameo in their "Drunken Sailor" Sing Along A-Go-Go video.[6] Michigan filk musician Tom Smith wrote the original "Talk Like a Pirate Day" song in 2003.[7][8]
Talk Like a Pirate Day is celebrated with hidden easter egg features in many games and websites,[9] with Facebook introducing a pirate-translated version of its website on Talk Like a Pirate Day 2008[10] and publisher O'Reilly discounting books on the R programming language.[11] In September 2010, Reddit added a pirate theme to their website.[12] In September 2023, The Yorkshire Party, a regional political party in the UK, recognized International Talk Like a Pirate Day to highlight issues faced by coastal communities, including erosion and pollution.[13]
