Kid’s super deep response to classroom riddle is way better than the actual answer

TwitterFacebook

Kids may say some spectacularly funny things at times, but every now and then they can be impressively wise too.

On Tuesday, teacher Bret Turner tweeted about a recent puzzle he’d set for his first grade class.

“I am the beginning of everything, the end of everywhere,” reads the riddle. “I’m the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space.

“What am I?”

The first response he got, while ultimately wrong, was pretty deep.

The first guess from one of my 1st graders was “death” and such an awed, somber, reflective hush fell over the class that I didn’t want to tell them that actually the answer is the letter e, which just seemed so banal in the moment pic.twitter.com/7sYFxHNcZk

Trump loved net neutrality once upon a time

TwitterFacebook

You know the joke that there’s an old Donald Trump tweet expressing the opposite of every single one of his administration’s policies? Well, one exists for net neutrality as well.

As the FCC voted Thursday to hand control of the internet over to massive corporations, it didn’t take long for Twitter detectives to find out that President Trump used to be a pretty big fan of net neutrality.

In a late 2014 tweet, Trump criticized Obama (shocking) for attacking the internet, and defended net neutrality as “the Fairness Doctrine.”

Obama’s attack on the internet is another top down power grab. Net neutrality is the Fairness Doctrine. Will target conservative media.

This NYCT subway tweet is so confusing it hurts

TwitterFacebook

Getting around a city can be a nightmare, but luckily with the invention of Twitter, transport networks like @NYCTSubway can lend a hand.

Or not.

A few days ago, the official NYCT account tweeted some travel advice to a baffled citizen. Actually, advice might be a strong word…

@Lzzzy_Hi, which 20 Av are you referring to D or N line? If 20 Av D line, take N train to 14 St for L to 6 Av or 8 Av for A, C, D , E or F to West 4 St. If 20 Av – N line take shuttle bus to 59 St for R train to 14 St for L to 6 Av or 8 Av for A, C, D, E or F train to W 4 St ^JG
