I’ve never actually read the books of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Never watched the movie either. Or the Netflix show. There was a Netflix show, right? Probably. There’s a Netflix show of everything.
Anyway, the reason I’ve never bothered looking into any of those literary experiences is that I already know that story. It’s the story I read every time I open up Twitter and scroll through for a moment. Twitter, and indeed the internet at large, is very little more than a series of unfortunate events.
And these ten are perhaps among the most unfortunate.
10. This person who apparently hadn’t heart of the twist
It’s not even the twist, really. It’s the inciting incident. You poor thing.
Oh no

8. This homemade fast food
The cardboard is fine. The paper is even probably fine. The styrofoam plate…why?

1. This person on a zero waste journey
Of all the weird things about this tweet, I think the most underrated is that apparently this person makes pasta for breakfast.
