Crafting a good social media post is harder than it might seem. Just browse your feed, you’ll quickly come to the realization that most of the things people put out there for millions to see are, at best, drafts and, at worst, should have never seen the light of day.
There are a lot of very good reasons to not go on Twitter (now called X, one of those reasons), so we’ve gone to the effort of finding some of the best, most hilarious posts of October from there. Get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comment section down below.

In 2006, a group of podcasting company employees had a revolutionary idea. What if we created a platform where people could broadcast their mundane thoughts to the entire world, but, and, here's the kicker, with a strict character limit that would make being eloquent nearly impossible?
Out of this novel idea, Twitter was born, initially as a side project at a company called Odeo. Jack Dorsey, sketched out the concept of a service where you could share short "status updates" with groups of people. The first tweet, sent by Dorsey himself on March 21, 2006, read "just setting up my twttr."

it is the same brain. Just stuffed with FB, BP tik-tok, insta, ... No space left
The name "Twitter" came from the idea of phones buzzing and vibrating with short bursts of information, like birds chirping. It was meant to be trivial, fleeting, and inconsequential. Mission accomplished, some might say. Initially, users were unsure about how to approach it. The platform asked one deceptively simple question: "What are you doing?" This prompted millions of people to share riveting updates like "eating a sandwich" and "watching TV."
First, there was the 140-character limit, a constraint borrowed from SMS text messaging standards. This limitation turned out to be secretly genius. It forced people to be concise, made the platform accessible, and created an addictive challenge: How can I be clever, funny, or profound using fewer characters than it takes to order a complicated Starbucks drink?
Second, Twitter tapped into humanity's eternal question: "Does anyone care what I think?" The answer, it turned out, was "Not really, but we'll follow you anyway." The follow/follower dynamic created a beautiful delusion where everyone could pretend they had an audience eager to hear their hot takes on everything from politics to what they had for breakfast.

I would love if they added a social networking element where you could "friend" people you know so you could share recommendations when you watch something you think they'd like. And, likewise, you'd have a "recommended by friends" list on your home screen.
The platform really gained momentum during major events. The 2007 South by Southwest festival put Twitter on the map when conference attendees used it to coordinate meetups. Then came disasters, elections, and celebrity meltdowns, Twitter became the place where news broke before traditional media could even find their cameras. Suddenly, everyone from your neighbor to the President of the United States could broadcast unfiltered thoughts directly to millions.

My parents gave me grief for years about reading with a flashlight after lights out. It was only a few years ago that it occured to me to wonder whom was supplying the batteries. Good one, folks, good one.
Celebrities and brands realized they could "engage" with fans without actually having to engage with them. Politicians discovered they could bypass journalists entirely and communicate directly with voters, a development that would later make everyone question whether this was actually a good idea.

The good thing about needing to eat cholesterol lowering margarine vs butter is that at least it's easy to spread. And the olive benecol isn't half bad either.
Perhaps Twitter's greatest achievement was democratizing the ability to shout into the void. Previously, if you wanted to yell your opinions at strangers, you had to write a letter to the editor or stand on a street corner with a sign. Now you could do it from your couch, in your pajamas, at 3 AM, and somehow convince yourself this was meaningful discourse.

No matter the Game, my mum always wins. She pretends to have forgotten. Asks after a while. Acts surprised at this amount of skill and luck. She is so cute.
The platform created entirely new forms of communication: the hashtag, the retweet, the ratio (that unfortunate moment when your tweet gets more replies than likes). It gave us Twitter threads, where people could write essays despite the character limit, because humans are remarkably stubborn when it comes to working around arbitrary constraints.
In the end, Twitter became popular because it perfectly captured something essentially human: the desire to be heard, combined with the attention span of a goldfish. It was narcissism meets brevity, and the internet couldn't get enough.

Those filler TV shows that were put on the schedule on days when audience viewing numbers are normally low. Back in the day, all the reruns were on Friday nights, and all the holiday-specific shows("It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and "Circus of the Stars, Christmas edition") were shown on the night of the holiday.

Same here, but it also contains jute twine, pine and spruce cones and bark. Twigs bleached by time, twigs carved by insects, twigs polished by water. A jar of beach sand and rocks, so many rocks. Small, smooth, big, rough, glittery and speckled rocks. Touching and especially criticizing the content is strictly prohibited.

My mom sews, so she has a hoard, including the newest addition: Moose leather. We've already made all the dragon-based jokes.

OK, tip 1 for aspiring drivers, the pedals are located on the floor. It is challenging (though not impossible) to operate them with your feet on the driver' seat.

In the baseball movie, Major League, Bob Ueker announces the games for radio. Charlie Sheen's character can throw incredible fast balls but has little control (and needs glasses). One of the funniest lines is when a powerful but very wild pitch is thrown, which Ueker announces as 'just a bit outside.

If you didn’t realise when 2 of you were staring at a white pole instead of a lens, I don’t really think it was on the photographer to warn you.

Tom Stewart - I can't respond to you directly because so many people have downvoted you. Do you ever read your own comments before you send them? I taught special ed students for a while and I would have flunked you out of my class. You don't understand capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and basic 5th grade literacy. What exactly does "This shows to come that" mean? How does anyone spell the word successful as "scucesfull," assuming that was your intent? What does "what all one of you didn't notice" mean? I know that you are angry and scared because you are worried that your white-boy world could somehow come crashing down, but please - do you MAGAts not know how much you embarrass yourselves with your basic illiteracy? P.S. Congratulations on reaching minus 185 votes on BP. It's not a record, but it shows how your fellow Pandas feel about you.
