Despite having a 280-character limit, people on X are crafting some of the most comical content you can find online. And what’s not to love about it? The posts are short, sweet, and funny, perfectly appealing to our attention spans, which are seemingly shrinking by the minute. 

The Instagram account “Omg Story Time” collects the crème de la crème of humorous content on X, which we’re featuring today as a little treat for doing your best all week. Keep scrolling to find them, and be sure to upvote the ones that made you uncontrollably chuckle.

While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with stand-up comedians Shaun Eli and Jeremy Nunes, who kindly agreed to provide us with a few insights on why X became a hub for funny content.

Aaaw, that is SO sweet. I did not do such a good deed but I asked an old lady to get halve of a deal with me on sweets because her daughter was very dismissive, telling her it‘s stupid or something. It was 5 bags of gummies for 5€. That‘s cheap, if you do not know, but neither of us wanted 5 bags. If you bought less, you would pay 2€ for one. So I offerd her to take the deal together. She got 3 and I took 2 and we payed each our own 1€ per bag.

    these days people should just do whatever they want. I've had the same neighbors for over 20 years and he/she have different last names. Nobody cares. It used to matter waaaay back when property and legal rights and such followed the man's name. Maybe still true in some countries (I don't know) but not really a thing in western culture for a very long time.

    Find out the cost of raising a child in your country then the answer can be something like. "When someone gives me the quarter of a million pounds that it costs to raise a child in the UK. And that doesn't even include private health insurance or school/university fees." Be blunt: one of the main reasons people don't have kids are because they cannot afford to.

    To get expert insights on why X (formerly Twitter) is a place where funny people thrive, we reached out to stand-up comedian Shaun Eli, who has been called one of America’s smartest comics.

    He believes that there are two main reasons why there’s so much hilarious content on the social media platform. First, he says, “It's a popular medium with a huge user base, so it's a place for comedians to get noticed and have their content shared (or stolen, for that matter).”

    My then 17 year-old daughter hosted a party for about 12 of her friends. My wife and I stayed upstairs watching TV until we heard the kids leave. When we came out to say goodbye, they had all worked together and cleaned up the entire downstairs. We were amazed. My daughter and her friends were theatre and choir kids. I think that had something to do with how nice and responsible they are. Also, if you ever get the chance to have a dozen high school choir kids sing "Happy Birthday", don't miss it; it's special.

    Also the "all episodes at once" releases destroyed something precious about shows. No week-long suspense after a cliffhanger episode. Also if you don't binge it on day one, you can't discuss it anywhere because people will spoil it for you and it's somehow your fault because you should have binged it.

    Mini series were an actual commitment! Remember younglings, this was before the cloud, Tivo, or even domestic VHS were actual things. If you wanted to see something you had to be there every week for the twenty weeks, or whatever, it ran for. No shouting “pause it for a minute” while you make a brew, no saving it for when you got home, no saving it up and binge watching when you had a few days off. You had to commit to being sat down waiting at, for example, half past eight every Thursday evening, from September through the holidays and into the next year. That sort of commitment meant that stuff had to be good to make sure it was actually watched.

Instead of the old TV-watching experience of flipping channels to find what you want, Twitter knows what you want and gives it to you.

    We had no internet, no way of fact checking anything; everything we thought we knew was going on in the world came via TV and newspapers and we had no reason to mistrust them. I'd love a youngster to explain how we were supposed to change anything about those things listed with no internet, no way of communicating with hundreds/thousands/millions of other people, when those exact issues are still going on today and younger people can do nothing about it because its the way governments want the world to be, exactly the same as in our day. Stop whining and do something about the state the world is in now before blaming others who had way less opportunity to change things.

They didn't spend decades trying to survive, learning to skimp on poor wages (surprise, that existed then too!), making their own clothes, cooking at home instead of buying fast food, driving the same car for 20 years, getting stuck in loveless or abusive marriages because women couldn't get credit or get a divorce, taking care of elderly parents and their own kids on one income, passing up school because they had to go to work to help out the family. Instead, they were all rich, with 6 houses and 12 cars each, and a 4 month vacation in Europe every year. They're not living solely on social security! Or collecting crappy pensions that stay the exact same amount no matter how many years they get it, oh wait, THAT can actually run out too. Blame them go ahead.

    Not remotely true; my dad used to say this to us to stop us whining about trivial rubbish. He'd rather have cut his arm off than hit me or my sister; he never laid a finger on us. We knew he'd never do anything but it still worked to shut us up

    Unless your parents were the 1% rich, corporation owners, hedge fund investors, oil barons, or politicians etc, they didn't do s**t. Stop blaming a whole generation when the majority had zero power to stop or change anything.

    Eli suggests that spoken and written comedy, like on X, have some things in common, such as putting the actual punch part of the punchline (the surprise) at the very end. This component is very important if you want to make people laugh, whether it’s on X or a stand-up stage.

    Sorry, but that's exactly how zipper merge is supposed to be done. I understand the fuming on an emotional level, but cueing up and clogging the one continuous lane WAY before it's neccessary just makes the jam start earlier and last longer.

    I'm going to get downvoted but I think this person is not referring to merging per se but ie: a road near me is being worked on, everyone is usually backed up into one lane, because there is a huge sign that says left lane for left turn only. People will speed past the rest and cut people off to get past the traffic in the right lane. I have seen people literally keep going straight in that lane because someone will not let them over and almost hit the car in the right lane to get around the barrier blocking the left lane from going straight. People can be rude and selfish.

    Someone should tell them that this is the recommended way. If they wanted the lane empty earlier in the field, they would have closed it at that point. Doing ut the "kailey" way described here causes longer lines. Pluss their wreck, when people follow the guide-lines. Dont be like Kailey

    The state of Wisconsin gives very clear instructions: "When you see a Lane Closed Ahead sign, continue to drive in your lane until you are prompted to merge." It's called a zipper merge. You take turns AT the point where the lane closes, not before, and it is the most efficient method.

    I read a FB post by one of those people just last week. They were talking about (local construction) and how everyone was merging over to the left lane long before they needed to. The idiot seemed to be convinced this was slowing down traffic and that if traffic stayed in two lanes until the very last part where it was one lane, that would somehow speed up the traffic.

    We had been away for two weeks, and at the airport I saw a handler training one of the dogs. It was barely out of the puppy stage and SO cute. So I said to the man, “I’ve been away from my dogs for two weeks and I miss them so much! I know this fellow is working, but please, could I just give him a snuggle?” He actually said yes! And I got a few minutes with a sweet little Golden who had kisses for me. I think that was the best part of the trip!

    Even though there might not be a secret formula that can teach people to create funny tweets, knowing the basic joke structure might help. Usually, there are two parts to it: a setup and a punchline, which Eli has already mentioned.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The former introduces the topic the joke will be about, and the latter, as discussed previously, takes it in an unexpected direction. Playing with words, like using puns, is also one way to achieve comedic effect in written jokes.

    Does anyone know if there's a way that pandas can counter boredom by launching a petition drive to stop censorship? 8-year olds know the vocabulary, and most of the definitions anyway. This is not helping "morality," and just encouraging moral prigs.

    I actually did this last summer when I got in a fight with my sister. Was gonna slam the door but it was a sliding door (minivan) so i just left it. Gotta say, it was very satisfying hearing the door close when I was already like 10 ft away 😂

    As for the future of X, Eli believes that it will no longer be the place for funny content as it is now and was in the past. “I think that Twitter will become less of a medium for jokes as time goes on as it continues to become more of a forum for lies and hate speech rather than shared reasonable thoughts and facts. I know professional comedians who have stopped posting there for that reason.”

    I really don't understand why OP's grandma and several folks in these comments think it is fine (or necessary) to lie. It's perfectly fine to say it isn't a good time right now and could you talk later. My friends and I have done this for years. If you can't be honest with your friends they are not really your friends.

    I give take-home, open-world exams. This is because I am not trying to train my students to memorize definitions/facts. I am training them to be able to look up information they don't already know and to be able to think through problems using that information. I have had many students tell me they will remember things from my class much more than the "memorize and forget tests".

    I study programming. Every developer I've spoken to has told me nobody expects anything to be memorized, and even professionals look up basic things like syntax because it changes constantly. Research is a skill. So, I agree with the original post. Plus, passing an exam does not mean the person knows the material. There's a reason many people forget the content shortly after the test ends.

    It helps with mental math, especially at younger ages. Not knowing how to multiply numbers and relying on a calculator sets you back too much to learn at the level that a high school student would learn when they get there. It also helps to understand theory, especially in a time when you can't write SYNTAX ERROR on a NASA proposal

    If you have to look up info every time you need it, how are you going to accomplish anything when the book is not available? You want your surgeon to stop and say "Nurse, get me Surgery 101, I forgot what step comes next"?

    I was always great at coursework and terrible at exams - with my illness and the medication I take, it makes me forgetful, so my memory is absolutely awful! But it doesn't mean I'm any less smart, and exams should reflect that and not a memory test.

    The truth is that there shoudl be both things. A factual memory test that is closed book, and conceptual mastery tests that allow you to rely on reference material. While conceptual mastery is the most important thing, there is still value in wrote memorization. Facts provide the scattered reference points on the map that will help you deduce the whole picture

    So the idea is that there's no need to actually learn anything except for how to read and how to use an index? Why not go all the way and just let everyone use the voice activated browser and text-to-speech answers? Seriously, though, the point of exams is to show that you know the answers, or how to work out mathematical problems, etc, and not to show that you know how to look up an answer in a book.

    That's a valid point but not applicable all of the time just as the inverse isn't. Sometimes memorization is more important, sometimes being able to apply abstract logic behind something is more important. There are subjects and instructors where they know you know the material and the test is just a requirement/formality. Others times there's no way you're going to memorize 75 individual formulas or formulations. And yet others where you're it's about the logic behind what you're doing so they don't want/need you to worry about things you'll always be able to look up anyway. It all depends on the circumstance.

    I thought crates were cruel until I learned about using them properly (read The Art of Raising a Puppy by the New Skeet Monks). My last dog was crate trained as a pup and he LOVED his crate! So, crate training went amazingly well. My current dog, however, loathed his crate, so after trying a few different things, I stopped crate training him. Simple.

Saw him waving at me from across a courtyard at a party in college and went running - not walking, RUNNING - toward him even though I had no idea who he was. Turned out he was waving at his friend, who had been standing behind me. We went out for about a year and a half and are still friends to this day, nearly 30 years later.

    It's tear, like crying. But it means that when you comb out the hair, it won't get knotted, thus "no tears". It does not mean the shampoo itself will not cause tears.

    There is one explanation: when you grew up (and your parents weren't inconvenienced by a fighting toddler anymore), and three possible solutions: 1) when next time your parents buy your shampoo throw a teary tantrum, 2) deal with the pain like an adult (which just might fall unter toxic masculinity advice), and 3) buy baby shampoo - nobody needs to know it's for you, and if you're embarrassed by the bottle adorning your child-free bath refill it into and empty adult bottle. (Wouldn't work for my long tresses, but everybody's different) Life's too short for avoidable inconveniences.

    I get some of my pay in cash, but sometimes my boss forgets so he just Venmo's me the money, and it's ALWAYS something inappropriate: strippers, crack, hookers, cocäine, and my personal favourite, "circus elephant."

    His third cousin twice removed sent someone a Venmo for "removal of corpse" when the person cleaned up a dead deer on his property and then the other person complained at him and it made its way through the family to this guy. Obviously.
