It happens to the best of us; you’re scrolling your feed, surfing around your webzones of choice, opening the same three apps over and over, and then you see it – a tweet that absolutely stops you in your tracks.
“Who comes up with this?” you think to yourself, “What miracle of man has such a marvel made possible?” Then you spread the gospel of that tweet, retweeting it, screenshotting it, tagging friends, sticking it in the group chat, doing whatever you possibly can to ensure that others also understand how great this tiny bit of internet is.
There is a celebration, the moment passes, you see another wonderful tweet, and the cycle begins anew.
There are worse ways to spend your time. In celebration of the kind of joy that comes from that phenomenon, here are 14 tweets that made us stop and take notice recently.
14. Everyone’s a critic
This applesauce is so chunky, a snake is tempting me to eat it.
He looks like he criticizes the taste of breast milk. https://t.co/3rZ3BksO0f

13. Next stop: nowhere
Your mom sounds absolutely brutal.
my mom saw my new tattoo and said every new tattoo is a stamp in your disappoint passport and you’re running out of pages

12. I want a new drug
I, too, often get sidetracked by pizza while trying to do my job.
today at the airport one of the drug dogs set off a false alarm and officers rushed over to find out the dog had alerted them for a piece of pizza. the handler just patted his head and goes “it’s okay buddy i know pizza always confuses you” and gave him his treat anyways ???

10. High steaks
Ah yes, a warrior’s death.
I don’t want to die of the coronavirus. Some stupid glorified flu. I want to die choking to death on a piece of perfectly cooked steak as God intended

9. The 11th commandment
Don’t forget to ask them 90 times a day if they are, in fact, a good dog.
I'm pretty sure if you see your dog do a stretch and you dont say "oh big stretch!" then you're going to hell

Time to whine and dine.

5. Wastin’ away in Margaritaville
It’s like we’re living in some kind of reverse prohibition.
A bar in my neighborhood is delivering entire liters of their premixed margaritas for $25 and you get a complimentary roll of toilet paper with your purchase and it’s really starting to feel like there are no rules anymore

3. Booty calls
It’s my number 2 asset.
Sometimes when I catch a guy staring at my butt, I’ll smile, give it a little pat, and say, “That’s where I poop from.”

2. Cat-astophe
“Unidentifiable Viscera” is my new band name.
Husband: why's the bathroom door open
Me: the cats like it
Him: why're blankets everywhere
Me: the cats like it
Him: why's the kitchen filled with unidentifiable viscera
Me: the cats like it
Him: why're the arcane symbols carved into the wall weeping blood?
