I’d like to say I’m above dumb tweets, but I once spent forty minutes drafting a post about soup and then deleted it because it was too good for you. That’s the thing: the dumbest posts are usually written by someone who thought very hard. Somebody looked at a perfectly normal thought and decided the world deserved it unedited. I respect that, mostly because it’s my entire personality.

Tweet about a dream restaurant called It's Just Shrimps with a $900 menu item.

Somewhere, a barista is telling my story.

Werewolves, fine. Sunday mail, absolutely not.

Customer service has always been like this.

Modern problems, horsepower solutions.

Dumb tweets parody where a three month old corrects a Frankenstein's monster mixup.

The unhinged tweets are my favorite because they commit. A dad who quits a werewolf movie over post office hours. A plan to handle Dracula with a fast car. Somebody yelling a deeply spiritual question over club music. Nobody asked for any of these opinions, and I would die for every single one of them.

Then the relatable tweets sneak in and ruin my day by describing it. Locking in at work for up to twenty minutes isn’t a joke, it’s my performance review. Tapping at the little rectangle I hate until 1 a.m. is my nightly routine. These are basically work memes with no image budget, and they hit harder because there’s nothing to hide behind but the truth.

I think dumb tweets survive because they’re honest in a way polished posts never are. Nobody workshopped them. Somebody just had a weird little thought on the bus and hit send before shame could catch up. That’s brave, in a stupid way, and the internet is slightly better for every person who didn’t delete it.

The draft is posted. The shame is optional. The soup is against me.
