Nonpolitical Twitter

182 readers

For screenshots of humorous, clean, nonpolitical social media posts. This primarily implies Twitter, but Facebook, Tumblr, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. are allowed too. It should be primarily text-based though.

Rules
  1. Again, no politics.
  2. No Lemmy posts. You're already on a Lemmy instance. There's no need to screenshot it and post it here.
  3. No Reddit posts. That's too similar to Lemmy.
  4. The joke must be text. Images can be included in the screenshot, but only as needed context.
  5. Use correct cropping. Don't have a mile of whitespace or show extraneous UI, but don't crop out the date or author.
  6. No doxxing. Again, don't crop out the author's name as he or she has chosen to share it, but definitely do not share extra information which may be personally identifiable or libelous.
  7. Link to the original post either in the body or in a comment.

We are obviously not affiliated with Twitter in any way.

I take umbrage with "couple bits of toast"

Surely it should be "couple bits toast"?

You can't lazily leave out one "of" and not the other

it took me like 30 seconds to figure out what other "of" you were talking about, "couple of bits of toast" looks so clunky to me

granted, i pronounce it as "cup'la bit'sa toast"

Except couple bits toast doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as well as couple bits of toast.

Edit: that being said, I'm not a caveman - they're fucking slices of toast. You want me to make some toast and tear off a couple bits for you?

Or just make me a couple toasts. Feels easier as a non native speaker.

You mean not English [simplified]?
