Wanna know a fun and slightly horrifying fact? If you were to try to go through and read the tweets that were tweeted last week – and I mean, just the ones from last week – it would take you over five hundred years to finish.
Seriously. Five hundred million tweets a day.
Average it out to about 5 seconds to read each one and – assuming you never had to stop to eat or sleep because you got some immortality potion, you’d finish up around the year 2574. All your friends would be long dead but you’d know all the best jokes.
Since you probably don’t have that kind of time or potions, we’ll just whittle it down to a few random good ones.
19. Asking the real questions
These monsters aren’t even letting me floss.

18. Putting it together
If you can’t get excited about some good shelves, you’re too young for me.
We put new shelves in the garage and have talked for 3 days about what a game changer they are. This is peak marriage.

17. Transgressive art
I’ve actually been there. It um…it stands out.
"yeah of course I can paint your ceiling." Michelangelo scoffed to himself, "gonna paint a bunch of dudes with they dick outs on it tho"

16. Keeping tabs
How confusing would it be if he ordered a Bloody Mary.

15. Male pattern boldness
These are the origin stories you don’t hear about.

12. Time zones
There is a time for everything, and right now isn’t it.
Me: are you ready?
Husband: yes
Me: great, I got myself and the kids ready and everything’s packed up and we’ll actually be on time if we leave right this second, let’s get in the car-
Husband: okay, just need to hop in the shower real quick

9. Hot ticket items
“I’m also told that you’re keeping monsters in closets? This is gonna be an expensive write-up.”
BUILDING INSPECTOR: Well, you say you’ve kept everything up to code, but I’ve been speaking with your 4 year old and he informed me the floor is actually lava, which—I don’t need to tell you—is a pretty serious safety violation.

8. Upper crust
When I was a kid I called it the “pizza bone.”
Genie: You have three wishes.
Me: I wish everyone who didn't eat the crust on pizza would die.
Genie: Ok, that's a pretty good wish. You still have three left, that one's on me.— Syed M. M. Raza (@syedmmraza) March 11, 2019

There’s nothing humerus about this.

Eating bread and butter is my bread and butter.

5. Say wat?
And can we stop it with this “medium power setting” crap? There’s no button for that, shut up.
Listen, frozen meal instructions, never in the history of owning microwaves have I known the wattage of any microwave

4. Absolutely hysterical
History has been a lot of fun.
1870:
Man: My wife, whom had 4 babies and 0 orgasms this year, and is not allowed to vote, cries a lot
Doctor: Obviously she is insane.— Thing Bad (@Merman_Melville) July 31, 2016
3. Spider man
If this logic holds up than I am somehow a very tall building in disguise.
So many homophobes turn out to be secretly gay that I'm nervous I'm secretly a giant spider

2. Doggy positivity
If you don’t call your dog “nakey” at least once a day are you even a pet owner?
