Astrology Twitter is fighting over whether Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lied about her birth time

sudshr47 March 27, 2019

Hell hath no fury like Astrology Twitter.

Whether a crush, a nemesis, or your very own congressional representative, nothing exposes someone’s true self like a complete birth chart. (OK, there are lots of things that show your true colors, but your star placement is much easier to obtain.)

Twitter users who care deeply about astrology are convinced that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faked her birth time for … a better natal chart.

Finding out someone’s birth time is the achievement to end all achievements. A natal chart is essentially pseudoscience for explaining why you are the way you are; Co-Star, an astrology app, describes it as an “astronomical snapshot of the sky based on the exact day, time, and place you were born.” The placement of certain stars, astrology enthusiasts reason, can influence your behavior and desires.

Mueller report sends a shocked internet into a hilarious frenzy

sudshr47 March 22, 2019

It’s finally Mueller Time and no one knows what the fuck is happening.

Special counsel Robert Mueller finally delivered his report to Attorney General William Barr on Friday. The report investigates Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and has been a point of contention in Trump’s two-year-long term.

As soon as news broke late Friday afternoon, Twitter users went into full meltdown mode and began sharing their hot takes.

Amazon Culture Headquarters Twitter Reactions

Amazon is pulling its second HQ out of NYC, and people are delighted

sudshr47 February 14, 2019

On Thursday, Amazon announced that it will be pulling its planned second headquarters out of New York City.

It was a remarkable about-face for the company, and followed weeks of considerable grassroots opposition on the ground.

“Like a petulant child, Amazon insists on getting its way or takes its ball and leaves,” New York State Senator Mike Gianaris, who represents the district affected, said of Amazon’s pullout to the New York Times. “The only thing that happened here is that a community that was going to be profoundly affected by their presence started asking questions.” Read more…

Culture Maroon 5 Sports Super Bowl 2019 Twitter Reactions

The best thing about the halftime show was everyone making fun of Maroon 5

sudshr47 February 4, 2019

There is no band more consistently, doggedly embarrassing in America than Maroon 5.

Their halftime performance at Super Bowl LIII was no exception. Viewers were subjected to Adam Levine’s exposed, erect nipples and guitar solos fit for a middle school battle of the bands.

Nobody captured this cultural collapse better than Twitter.

I’m sorry, but you just can’t have Adam Levine hopping to a hip-hop beat like he’s at a ska show — then crooning with an *actually* talented gospel choir — and not expect people to mock it. It’s part of our cultural algorithm. Read more…

Donald Trump Reactions Twitter Twitter Reactions White House

Sinkhole opens up a block from the White House. Yes, another one.

sudshr47 January 23, 2019

It figures that in the midst of the longest government shutdown in American history, the earth would literally open up a block from the grounds of White House.

Yet another sinkhole — a depression in the ground caused by a collapse of land — has opened up in Washington D.C., this time just a block from the presidential residence.

Opening up on Tuesday afternoon, the “large” sinkhole was reported by D.C. Police as being the reason for road closures on 17th Street NW between C Street and E Street NW.

Well, this wild Nextdoor post escalated quickly

No driveway is ever fully safe.

Nextdoor user “Vicki” knows this intimately. Recently, Vicki complained on the app that random people were using her circular driveway to turn their cars around. So Vicki decided to equip her driveway with some spike strips.

Jeff Bezos is getting divorced and of course people are making Alexa jokes

sudshr47 January 9, 2019

People can’t help but make jokes about the richest couple in the world splitting up.

Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos announced their divorce on Wednesday, after 25 years of marriage and attaining a $137 billion net worth. And while ending a marriage is undoubtedly an unhappy experience for their family, Twitter users started making Amazon-themed jokes about the couple’s end.

Some poked fun at Amazon’s mildly terrifying targeted ads.

An 18-inch pizza has more pizza than two 12-inch pizzas, and people are losing it

sudshr47 January 8, 2019

Are you ready for a mindblowing revelation?

If you’re splitting pizza with friends, you’ll technically get more bang for your buck by splitting one 18-inch pizza instead of ordering two 12-inch pizzas.

It sounds counterintuitive, but Fermat’s Library did the math: An 18-inch pizza has 254 square inches of “pizza,” while two 12-inch pizzas only have about 226 square inches.

Here’s a useful counterintuitive fact: one 18 inch pizza has more ‘pizza’ than two 12 inch pizzas pic.twitter.com/hePSpG0pJs

People were understandably confused — isn’t two more than one? Read more…

Rashida Tlaib’s swearing-in attire prompted a lovely #tweetyourthobe hashtag

sudshr47 January 5, 2019

When Rashida Tlaib was sworn into Congress on Thursday, her election had already made history – and there, in the U.S. Capitol, her attire followed suit. Tlaib wore a thobe, or traditional Palestinian robe, which inspired Palestinian-American women around the country to share their own with the Twitter hashtag #TweetYourThobe.

Notably, Tlaib was sworn in on a Quran. Her sons also earned some attention when they dabbed in celebration after the swearing in.

Pottermore’s unnecessary poop tweet reminds us that wizards are gross, we’re all overthinking things

sudshr47 January 4, 2019

Pottermore recently resurfaced a wizarding world fun fact that has Harry Potter fans losing it on Twitter. Pottermore reminded fans – or in most cases, informed them – that before plumbing, wizards used to “relieve themselves” literally anywhere and then magically vanish any excrement.

…oh.

This fun-slash-frightening fact depending on your perspective comes from the Pottermore page about the Chamber of Secrets, which, if you recall, is only accessible via ancient plumbing channels.

McDonald’s and Greggs clap back at Piers Morgan’s vegan tweets

sudshr47 January 3, 2019

Like manna from heaven, the greatest gift 2019 has proffered so far is the Greggs vegan sausage roll.

It’s fair to say that Brits up and down the country were already somewhat enamoured with this flaky, mouth-watering delight. But, Piers Morgan was not entirely happy when the high street bakery launched a vegan version.

True-to-from, Morgan offered up an unsolicited opinion, calling Greggs “PC-ravaged clowns.”
