When Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022, there was a lot of talk about how the so-called "bluebird app" would change. And when he renamed the app “X”, many people were left scratching their heads. Musk later announced that tweets would be called “x’s”. Nowadays, they are referred to as posts.

There have been quite a few changes since Musk’s $44 billion acquisition. But one thing remains: the amount of hilarity that can be found on the app. Whether you call them tweets, x’s or posts, there’s no shortage of content to give you a good cackle. Bored Panda has scoured the app to find the best posts from this month. Keep scrolling for some epic September humor, and don't forget to upvote your favorites. 

RELATED:

    There are over 540 million X (formerly Twitter) users worldwide, with around 350 thousand tweets sent every minute. America has the highest number of users. And some of them are hilarious. They manage to make us laugh, even with a 280 character limit.

    Experts say using humor is a great way to build your social media following. But there’s an art to writing a funny tweet. “You don’t have to be a seasoned comedian to write funny tweets. A little practice and the willingness to indulge in some self-deprecating humor can go a long way,” reads this blog.

    Like most Gen X men, I can hold entire conversations using only movie quotes. "Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria!" "Get to the Choppa!" "Yippee -kai-aye, Mother***er!"

    Before you start thinking up your 280 character jokes, you need to research your audience. And find out what they think is funny. One way to do this is by using Google Analytics to determine who your followers are. Where do they stay? What’s their gender? You can also look into their topical interests. And tie these into your funny tweets.

    Before I got my first Covid shot, I went tot he grocery store. After I got my shot, I said to the nurse: ‘Now I deserve a lollipop!’, and treated myself to the lollipop I bought. I was 59 years old then. The nurse laughed so hard!

    It also helps to research the funny people on “X”. Check out their writing style and some of the conventions they use. “For example: hashtags, the use of understatement, all caps for emphasis, all lowercase with no punctuation, sentences that get cut off on purpose, abbreviations like tfw and tbh, etc,” suggests the Gold Comedy site.

    One characteristic that sets “X” apart from other apps is the need for tight, concise writing. You only have 280 characters to get your point, or punchline across. The Gold Comedy site likens it to being stranded on an island… and writing a letter in a bottle. “You would need to maximize each sentence in order to provide the most information,” reads the site.

    “Regardless of whether you’re writing comedy/drama, words are a currency that fund your message. Always think, can I say the same thing in one word instead of two? Which is actually a great exercise to apply for joke-writing in general.”

    Many of the funniest tweets are one-liners. And while they’re short, they need to have two parts. The first is the setup. It’s what gets the reader hooked and leads them down a particular journey. The second part is the punchline. “This is where you deliver a surprise twist, making the joke funny,” reads Tweet Hunter. 

    “There are two basic rules to follow when writing one-liners. The punchline should always come at the end of the joke. The distance between the set-up and punchline should be short to make it funnier.”

    Experts say it’s better to avoid offensive jokes. They probably won’t help increase your following. And could even cost you followers. Another tip is to time your tweet well. And be witty. This means posting when your followers are most active but also taking advantage of trends or events.

    When Facebook changed its name to "Meta" in October 2021, Wendy’s was one of the first to jump on the bandwagon. Their simple tweet “Changing name to meat” quickly went viral. It was reposted by tens of thousands of people. And received hundreds of thousands of likes.

    Once you have some ideas, test them to see what works for your personal style. Run your jokes past your friends. And practice practice practice. “The best way to decide whether that new joke you made up is Twitter-worthy or not is by first testing it out on a few people,” reads the Tweet Hunter’s blog. “Having a vetting process will help you weed out the not-so-good jokes from the true gems.”

    My husband was born on the 26th December. It's the second Christmas holiday in Germany. My husband hates it because when he was a kid other kids never had time for him because family stuff and since he's an adult nobody feels like celebrating because they just celebrated two days with tons of food and drinks and chatting.

    Bull pucky. I get so much more done from home than from an office. I don't think the 3 minutes to switch laundry is doing more harm than the 39 minute gab fest some random drop by my cubicle is.

    I never get much done in the office because the mail man comes then I'm sorting out everyone's mail. The office junior is asking 100 questions, colleagues are asking me to print and send letters for them and then they'll be a few meetings too. At home I log on in my pajamas and have my to do list sorted before 8am. Not having to worry about commuting time i can be generous with extra half hour to hour work here and there too.

    It's not about getting work done. It's about control, keeping up real estate values and keeping nearby overpriced restaurants and businesses going.

    Studies show office workers are only productive for something like 3 hours a day. The main reason is they get interrupted on average every 15 minutes.

    It is really funny that these companies think people in office are doing more work than WFH people. At my company we work 3 in office and 2 at home and I can tell you 100% I get more work done at home in less time than I do at the office!

    I think it all depends on the worker. Some of us are wired to be more productive and self driven. Others are more driven to find creative ways to fake their presence while they go off doing whatever.

    The only reason I'm productive in the office is because they let me listen to my own music while I work. No distractions, mindless data entry, good tunes, it's perfect for zoning out and getting a lot done.

    It weird how many people think that if I work from home all of tasks I have to do suddenly disappear. "Hey that power point presentation I asked you to finish by the end of last week, where is it?". "Oh I was working from home, which automatically means I don't have to do anything like that. Want to see the outdoor BBQ area I built instead?".

    Signed up for LinkedIn maybe ten years ago because that's where my boss would list photos and such about corporate events. Sadly he passed away several years ago, so I haven't been on since. Recently though, I must have done something to let them know that I'm still alive because suddenly I'm getting the "we found a job you might be interested in" emails. Ironically, a lot of them are for the company I already work for.
