People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

oh so it's just like fish

I feel like it's time to reframe this from "there is no such thing as a tree", "there is no such thing as a fish" to "trees and fishes (and crabs) are very competitive types of life, and many phylogenetic lines are pressured towards those traits".

Biology has gotten real stupid about verbiage and communication lately, in my opinion.

That's correct and all, but you gotta admit that "everything becomes crab" makes for better memes.
