I had this one framed and matted in my bathroom until my wife decided maybe I shouldn't.

Edited to add: Imgur comments make Reddit comments look intelligent.

Imgur comments are what you get when redditors and youtube commenters are limited to 140 characters. This is also why twitter needs to be bombed from orbit, the debris scattered to the four corners of the earth, then buried under nuclear waste.

I like Twitter. I follow smart people and news outlets and it's fun to try to condense my weird jokes into 140 characters without using abbreviation. I get what you're saying but there are probably like a hundred smart YouTube comments.

That's essentially my twitter feed...

Mostly news outlets, a few comedians for flavour and some people I follow on YouTube. That's it.

Works for me :D

100? You think there are that many?

Seems reasonable. Sometimes people don't mind wasted effort

Your hyperbole is delicious, like an aged porterhouse with crumbled camembert and a rich buerre blanc.

Great. Because of you I had to go get steak and fire up the grill. I'd be angry right now, but steak.
