Everyone's got 20/20 hindsight, but many are blind when it comes to predicting outcomes and sharing takes that stand the test of time. It's not always fun to look into the past, especially when you're the one with the embarrassingly wrong analysis immortalized forever on subs like r/agedlikemilk. For us passive observers on the other hand, this stuff is mad entertaining.

When the world's countless problems wear us down and our faith in humanity starts to erode, it's good to acknowledge and remember the random acts of kindness carried out by our fellow humans throughout the years. Even the tiniest little shows of compassion can affect someone's life in a huge way. These examples of humans being good inspired us to get our heads out of our own asses once and a while and exercise empathy towards others as much as possible. Try not to get a little choked up (we swear we didn't). 

Twitter's been an absolute nightmare of late between the election, the pandemic, and the unholy areas in which the two intersect. We're sick of the politics, and we're willing to bet that you are, too. To help you enjoy the good parts of Twitter, we've put together some amusing (and often sadly relatable) tweets that will remind you of the good parts of the site. Stay safe out there on the internet, y'all. There's so much to avoid.

Twitter can be exhausting sometimes having to sift through the same not-so-hot take regurgitated over and over again. Just hand over the good jokes, amiright? We've curated a pretty good selection of hilarious tweets by the comedy novices and experts of Twitter to save you from the scroll fatigue. If you're in the mood to see some witty zingers and silly 280-character stories without wading through the monotony of Twitter, this is the gallery for you. 

We're proud to say that it's not often our card gets declined. Usually it's because our bank has mistakenly flagged a purchase as suspicious due to travel or (gulp) overspending. The few times there's been an issue, baristas kindle wave away apologies and we walk away with a free coffee. But what if they weren't so kind? What if the people who provide us with paid services actually decided to get...revenge? 

The "Imagine Your Card Declines" Twitter meme explored this theme back in early September, but Redditors have been expanding on it by adding amusing images. Most of the "Credit Card Declines" memes imagine folks such as tattoo artists or therapists "undoing" their work as a consequence of nonpayment. They're obviously ridiculous, but seem to be pretty damn appealing to the internet. We've put together some of our favorite examples of the format, but you can read more about its origins over at Know Your Meme. 

Was "reading more" one of your failed New Year's resolutions? Well, we're going to let you in on a little secret: you don't have to buy books to indulge in the creativity of wordsmiths. Turns out that you can consume clever witticisms all over the internet. You just have to know where to look. Fortunately, the subreddit r/brandnewsentence makes that mission a little easier. It's a veritable hub of quirky writing that's been harvested from Twitter, Tumblr, and even the dreaded hellscape that is Facebook. We've put together some of their finest examples of creative writing, but there's loads more where these came from. Hell, they may even inspire you to get a little more funky with your own posts. Go crazy. We're here for a good time, not a boring time.

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. 

NY Jets wide receiver Eric Decker asked fans to tweet their #jetsdiehardfan stories. What he got was a look inside the minds of exasperated fans of the struggling team. Here are some of the best.
