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 is pretty much the perfect joke farm for anyone hungry for some quick laughs. In can be a bit of a challenge weeding out the latest on this batshit year (sometimes we just want some simple, solid jokes), but don't worry because we've done all the work for you. These recent tweets are curated for anyone who's in the mood for a healthy chuckle without having to click on #metoobin or #internationalassday.   

We had a great time on Twitter today checking out the latest comical observations and quips about life. Fitting thoughts into a virtual box with a 280-word capacity is harder than it looks, so when the wordsmiths of Twitter manage to craft a good joke with brevity, we're impressed! We hope you enjoy this collection of Twitter gold as much as we did. And since we're all about memes around here, we threw a few random ones into the mix. 

With all the chaos going on in the world, Twitter can be especially exhausting these days. It's like an endless river of bitterness and anger. But once in a while, if you manage to escape the current and rest along the bank, you can come across a heartwarming picture of a cat, or a dumb dad joke, or that clever quip you wish you'd thought of first. We can't get enough of those funny tweets that don't demand a lot brain energy. Hopefully this compilation of Twitter winners will fill your day with good vibes.

It takes a savvy comic mind to pack a quality joke into Twitter's 280 character limit. Not everyone's got the chops. Their one-liners fall flat. Their tweets smack of try-hard desperation. Not these tweetsmiths. These writers and shillers of amusing observations have managed to find that harmonious sweet spot of humor and brevity. 

Remember that "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie" meme? Well, these tweets perfectly exemplify the format, albeit in the form of character-restricted twitter gems. The jokes are a perfect example of how you can pack twists and turns into short shows of absurdist comedy.

A staggering 3.3 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits as the response to the coronavirus outbreak has escalated. Many Americans are now struggling to put food on the table, let alone pay rent. In places like New York, the $1,200 stimulus will barely cover a month of housing. As renters try to figure out how to keep shelter over their heads, some landlords are giving their tenants a break. Others, like comedian Jesse Case's landlord, instead opt to send vaguely threatening emails. 

In the email in question, his landlord Kerri threatens to evict him if this month's rent is not paid. As Jesse had already mailed his rent check, he decided to go full Karen on her ass. And we're 100% here for it.

Whether you're trying to avoid responsibilities or engage in some dopamine-producing activities, this batch of entertaining memes and tweets might be what you're looking for. They're not going to save the world but they might save your spirits for a little while. And we'll cheers to that.

It never ceases to amaze us that Twitter users are able to pack clever comedy into a 280 character limit. We try to fill our feed with funny writers and comedians to make our timeline a little more palatable. So we figured we'd share the wealth of tweets with you. If you like what you see, give these funny folks a follow. They deserve the recognition. 

The process of scattering a loved ones ashes is generally pretty sacred and emotional. Today, we've learned that's not always the case. A desperate (and desperately amused) individual took to Facebook to beg for advice on how to dispose of her father's ashes after her mother informed her that his remains had completely solidified into a brick of human ash. After OP's mother had to take a CHISEL to said brick, they decided to avoid their unusual plight by asking the internet for advice. The commenters delivered something, but a whole lot more comedy than wisdom. And we're honestly more than okay with that.

Some of our favorite memes imagine situations in which arguably normal sh*t is met with an absurd and humorous response. This new Twitter meme definitely falls into that category. Since last week, Twitter users have been imagining what would happen if their cards were declined at therapy, or (even worse) during surgery. The responses, which are generally outlandish, make for some solid comedy and just a few nightmarish scenarios. Here are our favorites. 

Whether you're being contacted by a scammer or someone who received a fake number at a bar, wrong number texts are often hilariously happy accidents. While some people may get nasty, some others offer up a lot of opportunities for trolling. These erroneous communiques fall into everyone one of those categories. 

When we're really bored we often find ourselves scrolling Twitter for way, way, too long - thus exposing ourselves to the takes of some of the most terrible people on the internet. We wish that we could somehow enjoy the website without having to hurt our brains with negativity and political diatribes. Sometimes, though, you have to be the change you wish to see in the world. Hopefully this gallery will be a safe way for you to enjoy Twitter without the pain.
