No matter the time of year, there will be events and memes that will spark some wonderful creativity in the world’s netizens. October, when the leaves fall and days get shorter (depending on your hemisphere) is no exception. Add in Halloween and there is always something to talk about.

So we’ve gathered the best posts from X this October, which, let's face it, everyone still calls Tweets. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

A testament to just how far a single good idea can go, Twitter (now X) was, reportedly, conceived in about a day-long brainstorming session. Jack Dorsey, its founder, had the idea for an SMS service in march of 2006, that could send messages to a group of people. By July of the same year, they had a full working version.

After all, Twitter flourished because it really was that symbol, just a 140 character message that anyone could see. It really took off the following year, during the 2007 South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) conference. "The Twitter people cleverly placed two 60-inch plasma screens in the conference hallways, exclusively streaming Twitter messages," Steven Levy of Newsweek wrote.

yes, they don't need to know how all the gubbins works. It just works.

I always joke when I teach people our software, that I dread the day I have to explain that icon.

This is me. 100%. Fixing computers from my dad down to husband kids and friends. Young people may not be able to fix them, but aren't they learning how to program them as young as kindergarten, now? 😆

Nope. And they aren't even learning how to type - er... keyboard anymore either. They know how to use a few programs, now called apps, and that's about it.

Literally, yes. The generation before ours did not have desktops and laptops, and the generation after ours do all their work on tablets and phones, so have no idea how to properly use a computer.

Computers in the 90's required people to be more tech savvy, in order to use them... nowadays, everything is made too easy, so people don't need to be savvy anymore.

We've gone full circle though - repairable, unrepairable, right to repair.

No. The older generations couldn't figure out computers, so they didn't bother fixing them, and the younger generations are of the 'it's broken, buy a new one mindset

The Gen X/Millennial generations are the ones who HAD to fix it. We - most of us - didn't have the luxury of going without/replacing it.

Computers became too user friendly, and kids have less productive screen time.

Perhaps but you are also a generation that can't change oil in your car, build a box out of wood, change a tire, cook, grow a garden, back up a trailer, hunt and. Dress your own food. In other words: You are one single EMP away from being helpless as babies.

Think you're confusing Gen X with some other generation. We're the ones that can do both

And it gets worse with age. I took up horseback riding at 49, the first month I definitely thought I had leukemia, bubonic plague, leprosy, and a rare butt cancer. Five years later I only suffer from two things at a time, and the horses could probably use more exercise.

It is a mystery to me until today how he got a liver anyway when he was diagnosed with cancer allready. I mean, should he not have been at the very bottom of the list? Pancreatic cancer is as far as i know not the sort of cancer with the best prognosis, so is that not some sort of wasting an organ? Did he have a living person donate for him? Serious question, i can not really understand how that happened.

Better answer - We are calling him "child 1" until he is old enough to name himself. People will flip their s**t.

When there isn't a hook on the public toilet cubicle and before squatting you have to macrame your bag straps together before putting the longest strap around your neck.

I always say hello to cities when I arrive, especially if it's been a while. Like greeting an old friend.
