Nonpolitical Twitter

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.

Genuine answer, cranberry agriculture involves a lot of spiders. To harvest the berries the farmer floods the bog that they grow in. You can just knock the berries loose and they float to the surface. However, a lot of spiders live in the bog (they're helpful for pest control too, so they are encouraged) and when you flood their bog they are flooded too. This means that they will seek anything dry to stand on, which is commonly going to be you if you are wading in to harvest cranberries.

So what your saying is there's probably spider parts in that cranberry juice.

Otherwise they wouldn't go through all that. It's the whole point.
