Here is a deeper rabbit hole:
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??
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…
No, you don’t understand. Night City is a dystopia, so they use wrong manhole covers to show how corrupt this city is.
Finally, someone on Lemmy that’s media literate

They use the cheapest they could get on hand. That’s why it’s the one rated for pedestrians rather than vehicles on the roads, obviously.
Wtf, I like cyberpunk now??
You didn’t like it before? It’s epic.
