The main takeaway I remember having from this thread was something about how the most successful bot tweets were the ones that inadvertently seemed to demonstrate some kind of internal logic or some kind of external connection, and that successful bots encourage viewers to construct these themselves

I actually love arguments
"I actually love arguments" - me, quote tweeting another tweet (in second image)User 1: "Yeah, that isn't dying. If she had the experience I did, she wouldn't talk of it so casually. It changes your perspective on things, even if I didn't get the tunnel of light that others did.

User two: "You also didn't die"

Thread of posts from my old twitter account that I still think are funny
Tweet from noa (@person_1123) from Nov 4, 2019: "Serious reviews of the Atlantic Ocean are my new jam"I've loved the ocean since i was a child. I have found memories of going fishing with my Father many years and will always love visiting the ocean...It's very warm (at least from the United States side) smaller waves than the Pacific so no five star from me. But I would gladly get into it's wet waves any day of the week and probably more.

Dads literally do the meme
Calvin's dad explains meme

1st panel
Calvin's dad wakls in and asks Calvin, "Want to know something interesting?"

2nd panel
Calvin's dad is leaning down and talking to Calvin. "There are three types of game: shooters, sports, and run around. All games fall into these three categories."

Calvin responds, "Yeah..."

3rd panel
"Mario? Run around. Call of Duty? Shooter. 2k? Sports. Despite having a lot of guns, Metroid is a run around and Overwatch is sports."

4th panel:
Calvin lies awake at night cursed with this knowledge.

I got play some games too! Tiny Runway from @nnoa.bsky.social was the standout for me. Players vote on what’s hot and what’s not in a fashion game with ever changing player led score conditions. It immediately worked for me and I’m really hoping I can play it again soon enough with a full group.
