It's Friday, ladies and gentleman. Thank god. The final bit of the race before we can go home, sit back, and chill for the whole damn weekend. And to start you off on the right paw, you guessed it, it's time for our weekly dose of the best cat twitter has to offer.

Every week, we collect for you the most meowonderful tweets from cat twitter. Cats are just the perfect example to learn from when it comes to chilling. They know how to do it right. And so, as much as we want to know what's going on in the catniverse on twitter, chilling doesn't involve scouring the twitter sphere for cat tweets. The solution for that is us doing it for you. So, lay back, snuggle under some blankets with your kitty, and let us present to you the best of this week's twitter's cat world. 

Anyone can tell you that The Cheesecake Factory is a building full of paradoxes. It's like it's telling you with all its heart that it wants to be fancy with all the lighting and the columns, and then you sit down and drink out of a plastic cup. Cheesecake is great, but the place itself really makes you think "how does this place still exist?" Maybe it fits the bill of "a place people can agree to go to." @MaxKreigerVG got extremely deep about America's gaudiest Cheesecake vendor.

While Chuck E. Cheese has gotten attention for filing bankruptcy and for their sneaky Pasqually's Pizza debacle, we think this Twitter thread involving the chain is far more interesting. Twitter user @Professor_Palmer took to the social media site to announce that for the past few weeks he's been conducting secret behavioral studies on unsuspecting Chuck E. Cheese game players. The experiments are rather simple, and involve adjusting the use of lights and sound in an attempt to better understand what draws people to - or away from - arcade games. The results? Human beings are really, really, easily manipulated. While this isn't the most shocking insight on our kind, seeing Cary Palmer spell it out in such a fun (and thorough) way has been incredibly informative. And very entertaining. 

Thanksgiving doesn't always go well. In fact, sometimes the only thing that's good about Thanksgiving is the food, and even that isn't a guarantee. And no one knows that better than these people...

We love a real edgy, spicy shitpost as much as the next memelord, but sometimes the normie in us craves something a little more basic. Like memes about shopping when you're broke, or getting chastised for ordering oat milk, or being into the smell of fresh cut grass. It's totally okay to do both. Be a basic normie with a handful of mainstream interests and an unhinged doomer edgelord who trolls Reddit at 4am. We support you either way.

Jeb Bush woke up today thinking, "What is America?" That's when he ran out and bought a gun so that he could Tweet the most 'Murica Tweet that has ever been posted with complete sincerity. The obvious stream of memes followed but, unfortunately for Jeb, it was really hard to top the original punchline/genuine attempt at a heartfelt, patriotic Tweet. That isn't to say they aren't worth reading, some of them may even inspire you to clap.
