“Best And Worst Of Twitter”: 33 Screenshots From X That Are Funnier Than They Should Be
There is so much noise and content on social media these days that it takes something really different to make you stop scrolling and stare. Sometimes it's a random, chaotic tweet so ‘out there’ that someone else just has to screenshot and reshare it elsewhere.
For your amusement (and confusion!), we’re featuring ‘The Best And Worst Of Twitter 3,’ an online group that shares some of the weirdest and funniest posts that people have ever made on X. Somewhat ironically, the group itself is on Facebook. Scroll down to step outside of your comfort zone for a good laugh.

The downside of X, as many people who have visited the platform recently might tell you, is just how polarizing and toxic it has become since Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in 2022. It’s not a very pleasant place to spend much time in.
As The New Statesman stresses, Musk’s X-integrated AI chatbot Grok was recently used to create inappropriate deepfake images of real women and children without their consent.
The chatbot was, eventually, amended after mass outrage.

Same. You can try to put it off, but then there is more to do the following days. 🥺😢
However, as Le Monde points out, French prosecutors suspect that Musk may have allegedly encouraged controversy over deepfakes on X to “artificially” increase the value of his company.
This is in reference to the merger between Musk’s SpaceX and xAI, which is to be listed on the US stock market in June 2026.
The Paris prosecutor’s office got in touch with the US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission with its concerns.
In response, Musk insulted the French prosecutors as mentally deficient.

I do this already. Im the crotchedy old codger in this town, dagnabbit!
According to Le Monde, X’s chatbot, Grok, was used to generate around 3 million inappropriate images, mostly of women, but around 23k of children, in 11 days, based on data from the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
“The billionaire posted several messages in which he expressed delight, using numerous emojis, about his AI engine's ‘undressing’ capabilities,” Le Monde reported.
As previously mentioned, Musk caved in and amended the chatbot amid the controversy.
Another change (for the better) recently made on X is reducing payments to users who post clickbait and recycle news stories. As reported by the Guardian, this is done to prevent social media users from “flooding the timeline” with low-quality content.
Currently, the social network gives a share of advertising revenue to creators with at least 500 verified followers who generate at least 5 million views over a 3-month period.
According to X’s head of product, Nikita Bier, aggregators had their payouts slashed by 60%.

I can't speak for chaps in general, but in Mr Auntriarch's case, it's because he's a grumpy old git. But he likes cake.
“It became abundantly clear: flooding the timeline with 100 stolen reposts and clickbait every day crowded out real creators and hurt new author growth,” Bier wrote. “X will never infringe on speech or reach – but we will not compensate for manipulation of the programme or our users.”
The Guardian notes that several right-wing influencers and conspiracy theorists have been demonetized recently.
As per Bier, X is supposedly trialing new tools to identify the original authors of content and allocate a portion of revenue to them. This is done in order to encourage higher-quality, original material.

There are many differences between social networks like the controversial X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, owned by Meta. Not just on a technical level, but on a cultural one, too.
Initially, Twitter (back when it was still Twitter) focused on people sending out short messages as tweets. These days, however, if you’re a verified user who subscribes to X Premium, you can share tweets up to a whopping 25k characters in length. Regular (aka unverified) users can only send out tweets up to 280 characters, ‘TweetDelete’ explains.
Facebook users, on the other hand, can share posts that are up to 63,206 characters in length.

Kind of like my step-grandma. I call them the Tesco Kardashians. Well, in their case she marketed them into other people's wallets. But hey.
As per ‘TweetDelete,’ X tends to prioritize organic tweets and reward “proponents of relevant topics that drive the conversation on the platform.” X supports a more individualized approach to interaction, while Facebook focuses on a more community-based approach.
Furthermore, X is still far more text-based than other platforms, even if it allows visuals. The social network functions (or, well, is ‘supposed’ to function) “as a town hall hosting modern-day conversation.”

All of the above. Except the quicksand was called a swamp, from the iconic late-1960s Tarzan TV series. I grew up thinking that swamps were randomly placed pits in the middle of the jungle just waiting to suck you in.

Earwigs. At age three, I heard a friend of my parents recounting a plot point in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", describing how some sort of parasite entered a character's ear (I've never actually seen the film myself). My little mind conflated this with the only bug I understood to be ear-related, earwigs, which were abundant in our yard. For years I was terrified one would crawl into my ear at night and eat my brain.

Oh I had nightmares about that for years, to the point where I refused to watch it again for more than 30 years. Then I watched it last year and it's no where near as scary as I remember so I'm OK.

An atom b.o.m.b dropping on my country, specifically my town. After seeing an Anti-Aufrüstung poster on a street post I asked my parents what that means and they tried to explain to me, a then 4-to-6-year-ish child, what "cold war/political blocs/bombs..." means in the softest way they could but I had vivid, real nightmares through the 1980-ies, (born in 1978, east bloc).

'Anti-Aufrüstung' = 'Anti-Armament'. zububonsai : I sympathize. It never gave me nightmares, but it was always a worry. My home 'town' was London, so yeah, in event of nuclear war, I was hoping I'd quickly get turned into radioactive dust rather than survive long enough to expire of radiation sickness.

Was it an overblown childhood fear to assume I was going to get k!lled before adulthood by the apparently inevitable nuclear war lurking just around the corner (yes, I did worry about this while at primary school)? 🤨 A lot of people say that we're looking at the risk of nuclear war right now, if certain orange-hued 'world leaders' don't get what they want... 🤷 Yes, I'm laughing, only - yeah, that too.

Ancient amputation practices because for some reason my 3rd grade teacher thought it was a smart idea to take my class to an old military hospital in st augustine and explain IN DETAIL how they amputated an arm. Including all of the tools and diagrams of the muscles and arms. I was traumatized

Tornadoes. Starting in kindergarten we constantly had tornado drills and they were terrifying. I thought for sure one day our school or my home was going to be swept away Wizard of Oz style except with d***h and injury. I'm in my 50's and still live within 15 miles of my old schools and homes growing up. No tornadoes. There have been small ones in neighboring areas but our part of NE Ohiorarely gets them and they are usually small. So far luckily.

Where I'm from leeches weren't a fear, they were a reality. We always carried our jack knives when we trekked through the woods or swam in the lakes. Sliding the blade under the leech's mouth safely removed the little suckers. FYI don't use salt because the leech will vomit and that could cause an infection.

Parasites, but as in: Going outside barefoot would make parasites go into into my bloodstream, and they'd eat my eyes and brains. My (one year older) nephew told me this one, and I spent months convinced I could feel them crawling inside of me.

All of the above. Leeches were at least more likely to happen, though I somehow made it to 35 without encountering them. My brother had them bite him when he went to Borneo, but also a couple of years ago when we were camping by a creek in Australia.

Mine: Swallow a hair, which then pierces a blood vessel, is now in my blood flow, gets transported into my brain and gives me a stroke. I would even make a handstand if I thought I had swallowed one. Seemed better to have the hair get stuck in my foot, rather than my brain. Logic

A bear would come out of the vacant lot across from our house and attack us. The lot was small with very little underbrush and only a few trees and a person could look across it and see the entire lot. There were no bears; there were no anywhere around where lived, like in the entire region, there were no bears.

‘The Best And Worst Of Twitter 3’ was created back in November 2021 as a way for Facebook users to showcase some of the most outstanding and devastatingly bad content they’d found over on X. At the time of writing, the group had just shy of 30k members.
The team of moderators who run the group stress the fact that you should be posting screenshots from X, not posts from Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Tumblr, or anywhere else. That is, unless those posts also contain a tweet.

I am so very grateful for my McDonald's-avoidant clarity. Also known as my sense of smell.
Which of these tweets do you personally think are the best and the worst, and why, Pandas? Did you enjoy the chaotic humor, or do you prefer something more grounded?
What social media platforms do you use, and which ones do you avoid? Which social networks have the best ‘vibes’ that match your sense of self?
If you’re feeling social today, share your thoughts in the comments with the other readers!
