People doing like #whydidiifuckup and other stupid stuff. Are they trying to start a trend?

Does Twitter and Facebook link now?

Possibly. But it's more personal stuff than worldwide. Like I understand people doing it about Frankenstorm, but just random bizarreness I don't get.

I'm sure people don't get my FB posts, so I don't know why I'm bitching.

They use stupid hashtags on Twitter too. I think it just becomes a habit to make one up, for some people. #whydidipostthis #noonelistens #everyonehatesme THEY DO THAT.

It's part of the vast internet conspiracy to have everyone talk in the same way and eliminate all personality and creativity, until eventually you just click a few boxes on Facetwitter and it generates a page for you and you just sit there like a zombie as it generations motivational posters of cats wearing kilts that don't even make sense. #justsaying #don'tshootthemessenger

I hate Batman. Twitter is my precious. Taken. Alf touched my pee-hole. My robot brain needs Pez.


I AM AFRAID.

Sounds like fun!

Part of the hashtag thing is due to people having connected Twitter accounts, but a lot of the time it is people being attention whores who can't express themselves properly.

But like Cassie says, even on Twitter hashtags get overused. They're supposed to be used to help people connect who are talking about the same subjects, but who's going to be searching for people who've had a #badday or who've #fuckedupagain?

My new favorite FB posts are people who say stuff like this:

"I just spent the last hour trying to open this package (picture of XBOX game)" #firstworldproblems

"I ran out of hairspray this morning, broke a nail,stepped on gum" #firstworldproblems



Oh yeah, PS is there an actual @firstworldproblems page?!?! See, I don't think there is, I don't know about these things!!!!!!

No, there isn't. It's just a popular topic.

There's actually a charity that recorded poor Africans reading out #firstworldproblems tweets to guilt trip people. The organisers didn't seem to realise that people who use the hashtag are already aware that they're privileged and that that's the whole point, but it is a good way of getting money anyway.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

I keep talking about unfollowing some of the accts that I follow because I can't keep up, but now I've added two more :rwmad: (THIS IS THE TWITTER THREAD NOW, BITCHES)

Parvesh Cheena tweeted @ me, that makes the 3rd famous person to notice my existence! SO now I have to follow him back, it's only fair. He tweets a lot, too. And of COURSE I'm following that licorice nipples person. I should unfollow The Huffington Post, then I could probably keep up with all the rest of the tweets. #whitewhine #firstworldproblems
