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

Also surprisingly from ancient Greece:

  • The greeting "'sup"
  • Guys wearing laurel wreaths backwards
  • Tanning salons... but they were just called lawns back then

● Anal sex

Wait, that's not surprising

Did you know the Ancient Greeks invented anal sex? It only took 200 years before the Romans decided they should try it with women.

Im not suprised tbh

Lol, it's just a little joke based on the fact that Ancient Greek had both formal and informal greetings, and 'sup is our modern equivalent of an informal greeting. It's quite a stretch, I admit.
