silly tweets

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.

It might not take much to wow our tiny brains, but we think these 280 character tidbits deserve some serious love. There are without a doubt people that can write a novel and completely fail to execute a tweet with grace and wit. Fortunately for your eyes, we've found at least 29 people who are more than capable of delivering short and sweet bits of comedy. 

As anyone who has been on Twitter knows, it's truly incredible what people can do with a 280 character limit. They can rant. They can rave. They can bully people over politics or write something beautiful that will make you cry. But our favorite tweets make us smile and sometimes (if we're really lucky) laugh. These tweets mostly fall into that category.

These memes and tweets are seriously helping us forget that it's already the end of September and both fall and Seasonal Affective Disorder are completely and atrociously imminent. If we're going to have to stay inside for the next 6 months, we're going to do it with memes.

Life is boring. Life is difficult. Tweets are not. These 280 character messages are a relatively easy way to communicate jokes, thoughts, and anecdotes. They're also a great way to eliminate boredom.

The final trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was released yesterday, and damn, we are feeling some feels. The intense trailer left us with chills and watery eyes, but many Star Wars fans are more preoccupied with a shot of a soaking wet Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) approaching Rey in a moody and stormy standoff scene on wreckage of the Death Star. To say that people are acting thirsty would be an understatement. While we don't see the appeal, the thirst isn't hurting anyone. You can read the mouth-frothing tweets and watch the trailer below. 

Listen, we can't pretend to be professionals, but we can almost guarantee that these memes will have no lasting impact on your mental health. They're not going to be your anti-depressants and they definitely won't solve your problems. But they might cheer you up for a brief moment. And you know what? That's something.

A couple tweets that boldly generalize men have inspired scads of parody memes over the last week or so. The original tweets, which claim that "no guy has all three" and then lists three positive qualities, were downright serious. The tweets they've inspired? Not so much. Twitter jokesters have applied the format to mock men in more creative ways, or to represent a character or aspect of their chosen fandom. A tweet listing lyrics to Full House is a great example.

Happy Tuesday, y'all! Nothing helps get rid of that beginning-of-the-week malaise quite like some super dumb memes and tweets. And guess what? They're right here for your scrolling pleasure. 

We're not quite sure what it is, but British memes and tweets just hit differently. Maybe it's the novelty of the slang or "cheeky Nando's" but we find ourselves chuckling at these Twitter witticisms constantly, and we want you to start laughing too. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of tea, and get to scrollin'.

Let's hear it for another terrible Tuesday! If you can't believe the week is dragging and you're already out of entertainment, this super-sized dose of memes and pics might be the answer to your problems. It also might not be, but hey, memes never hurt. 

At this point we've accepted that we're going to be paying for our unimpressive bachelor's degrees until we die. At the very least it feels that way. Every payment hurts, and what hurts more is that it's just a drop in the damn bucket. But at least we're not alone. These student loan tweets really speak to our debt-ridden and depressed asses. 

If you're enjoying a lazy Sunday scrolling through internet garbage, consider thumbing through this carefully curated selection of amusing and relatable tweets. They ain't gonna make you smarter but they'll definitely press pause on your Sunday scaries. 

Writer Bijan Stephen went viral yesterday after asking Twitter users to share some dumb ideas they think would actually make the world a better place. The response was impressive. Most suggestions, like forcing people to work in the service industry, are actually quite intelligent and valid. Those that aren't still veer towards clever and hilarious. We've put together our favorites and hope the thread keeps moving. Lord knows this world needs improvement.
