funny tweets

News of Twitter's new 'Super Followers' feature has people Super Pissed. For quite a long time, committed Twitter users have urged the app's developers to introduce an 'edit' function so that users can fix embarrassing typos instead of deleting and reposting a whole new tweet. Seems like a reasonable request, but apparently Twitter didn't think so. Instead they'll be introducing a monetization feature, which will allow users to charge their followers to see their best content. Thus, Super Followers. Sounds a little bit like Only Fans, doesn't it? But just because Twitter thinks your shitposts are worth anything doesn't mean its users agree. Historically, the main draw of the platform has been its simplicity. Unlike other community-based social networks, Twitter is a vast and singular public forum—the internet's Speaker's Corner, for better or worse. Twitter is aiming to move away from that by encouraging smaller, insular communities to form through monetization. 'Rip Twitter' ironically started trending on Twitter as soon as the announcement about the new features were made. We'll see how users respond once Twitter introduces the testing phase. In the meantime, we've collected some meme'd out reactions to the news.

Unemployment is at a pretty insane level in the United States right now. Things are especially bad for new grads (who don't even have a diploma) and are receiving rejections left and right. Instead of dwelling on the bad sh*t, why not laugh at these ridiculous interview scenarios? They're a great reminder that you could be doing worse.

We never thought we'd have to say this sentence, but the new USPS delivery vehicle design is absolutely adorable. Which is kind of surprising considering Oshkosh Defense was contracted to build the next-generation truck—you'd think it would look like a tank with canons that launch packages into neighborhood yards. Instead it looks like a cute cartoon version of the mail truck we all know and love, or the flying car from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The last time USPS delivery trucks got a make over was about 30 years ago, so it's safe to say they're due for a green new makeover.

Twitter is (mostly) smitten with the new design and it didn't take long for the truck to get meme'd. Not everyone is head-over-heels though—some would rather see something akin to Tesla's 'Cybertruck' (though we're not quite sure how practical that would be), and others care less about what it looks like and more about how environmentally friendly the vehicle is. We've collected some fun reactions to the newly released images of the USPS delivery vehicle. 

People should never underestimate the lengths someone will go to in order to get out of doing something. The effort may seem antithetical to laziness, but for responsibility-averse people, the result often remains satisfying. This advanced form of avoidance doesn't just bloom with adulthood. It's often a skill that is learned in childhood. And Twitter user @mfpiccolo recently gifted the internet with a thread that proves this scheming starts early. The story is about his niece, who like many other kids these days is attending class on Zoom. It shouldn't be surprising that the experience leaves something to be desired after enjoying ones education IRL. But while most kids have opted to slog through remote learning, this 8 year old decided to hatch a scheme that would leave her free from the oppressive bonds of online education. Her plan didn't just work - it stumped adults for weeks. The 17 tweet saga is so entertaining that Jimmy Kimmel had our little hero (and her mom) on his late night television show. But you don't have to take his (or our) word for it. The whole damn thing can be enjoyed below. 

If you're looking to have a leisurely scroll session full of spicy memes, you've come to the right place because we've got a pretty good collection of content just for the occasion. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the memes. 

Last year, an unfortunate conspiracy theory spread all over TikTok denying Helen Keller's disabilities and achievements. Welp, the truthers are apparently back at it as 'Helen Keller' trended on Twitter this week for all the wrong reasons. So where the hell did this theory come from? At the beginning of 2020, crass Helen Keller jokes were trending on TikTok, which might have inspired TikToker @mygrandmaslooselip to post a video claiming that Helen Keller wasn't actually blind. What might have started out as a tacky ploy to take advantage of a trending hashtag quickly became a full-blown conspiracy theory, mostly backed by zoomers claiming she was either faking her disabilities, that her teacher Anne Sullivan was fabricating Keller's achievements, or that she didn't exist at all. The truly hard thing to believe is that the conspiracy itself is real. Many of these TikTok videos have an air of twisted irony about them—maybe it's all just a bit. Though one shouldn't underestimate the idiocy of TikTok trends. Maybe some would rather believe a conspiracy denying Helen Keller's existence than admit they'll likely never measure up to the achievements and activism of a woman who lived with blindness and deafness. We should say that not all of TikTok is all gung ho about the conspiracy. Many have posted responses debunking the theories. For example, TikToker @diwhine posted a rebuttal video with captions that read, "This is the worst thing I've seen on this app. TikTok is so toxic. People are literally denying the fact that Helen Keller existed & discrediting her...She knew five languages because she wanted to learn them and she was given the tools to do that. She was able to thrive because people accommodated her. She was able to do all these things because instead of people saying 'oh, you can't do that, you're blind and deaf'—no, they said 'sure, we'll make it work."

It's not totally clear why the theory has recently had a resurgence, but Helen Keller denial discourse has made its way to Twitter after a history teacher uploaded a TikTok video of himself reacting to his middle school students claim that 'Helen Keller was fake' or that she was 'the nazi guy.' Even more theories have since circulated, claiming that Keller was a racist eugenicist and that Anne Sullivan owned slaves. Despite the well-documented fact that Keller was an outspoken socialist, feminist, and early supporter of the NAACP, Helen Keller deniers are calling for her to be 'cancelled.' We can't make this stuff up. Unsurprisingly, Twitter has takes on all this. While most write off the theories as baseless and inherently ableist, some have used ironic jokes to mock those who believe in the conspiracy. 

Everyday we're bombarded with news, tweets, and clickbait about that one politician who did some horrible thing, or that one millionaire celebrity who broke up with that other millionaire celebrity, and it can get pretty damn tiresome. We get it, these people are Very Important. Sometimes we just want to see some simple, funny content that resonates with us common folk. That's why we put together this big batch of comically relatable memes and tweets for anyone who doesn't give a crap about the latest hot news. These are memes for the rest of us. Memes for the people. 

Nine-to-five life can really suck the humor out of the day, and to all the silly souls out there whose natural playfulness and joy gets stifled by the man on the daily, we totally feel your pain.

Ever meet a person who thinks they are the premier authority of any given subject? That they call the shots of what's right or what's wrong. Well, the internet is full of these people, and they're commonly referred to as gatekeepers. They generally exert this "authority" over aspect of culture, such as gaming, or even institutions such as marriage or the concept of "maniliness." The practice is wholly obnoxious, and often downright offensive. The r/gatekeeping subreddit is filled with examples of these holier-than-thou types, and because we like to mock people like this, we've got some primo posts here to share with you. We hope these sad people get the comeuppance they deserve. 

There are very few jobs as thankless as that of a retail worker. Having to juggle your regular responsibilities and entitled people should be an Olympic sport. This Twitter thread from last week is proof that everyone needs to work retail at some point so we can avoid the horror stories these poor people had to endure.

If you hate laughing and having a good time, then run in the other direction immediately, because we only offer hilariously dumb memes around these parts. For all the people out there who need some quality procrastination-fodder, this collection of silly memes and funny tweets will surely be enough to distract anyone from their boring tasks for a good five minutes.

Happy Friday, friends and fellow freaks. Looking for a way to get into the weekend groove now that bars are closing early or you're in lockdown? Fear not! We're here with a massive gallery of memes, tweets, and shitposts for happy and relaxing perusal. Sure, they may not beat making real connections with your friends out on the town, but they're a decent substitute. And they won't make you feel worse.

The Onion has been dishing out satire since 1988. That's over thirty years. While they may have ceased to distribute an actual paper, their hilarious articles are very much in existence in the digital universe. And there are still stupid people who believe their (mostly) obvious joke headlines. 

We all have at least two versions of ourselves. The ambitious, idealized version who has dreams and aspirations, and the indulgent, evil self who favors procrastination and takes joy in squashing all your hopes and dreams by watching YouTube until 4am while eating Doritos and forgetting to drink water. There is a such thing as a happy medium—maintaining a healthy level of motivation and accountability without being too hard on yourself when you do indulge in a bit of mindless entertainment. Beating yourself up with self-deprecating thoughts only leads to more failure. That's why we savor and cherish our meme-scrolling sessions as well-deserved breaks, rather than feel guilty about it. Think of these memes as your reward for being a functional human. 

Some people never learn that if they say something stupid on the internet, chances are someone out there is going to destroy them with words, screenshot the exchange, and then immortalize that moment forever on Reddit. Not gonna lie, we love to see it. Who doesn't enjoy coming across a clever comment or comeback so spicy that you feel the urge to virtually high-flve the OP?

We've got a quality batch of witty retorts to stupid statements and those funny comments that get tucked away in long threads.
