In the past, if you had a particular funny or insightful thought, at best you might get a chuckle from your friends. If you were really good, you might try your hand at stand-up comedy, but that’s a shot in the dark for most folks. But in the age of the internet, it’s never been easier to find an audience.
The “Really Dumb Tweets” Instagram account (ironic) is dedicated to collecting and sharing chaotic, random and hilarious posts from what was formerly called Twitter. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

As with any social media, Twitter took a moment to really find its audience, but its golden age was in many ways dominated by writers and comedians. In short, as it turns out, the character limitations are a perfect way to stimulate people’s creativity, as it takes away all the “freedom” that can leave creative folks struggling to come up with new ideas.
After all, on Twitter, you need to be short and catchy which, as it turns out, is a very important strategy in comedy as well. It’s very hard to make a joke that needs ten minutes of setup without a punchline.

People who are good at “Tweeting” (or posting, depending on your preference in phrase) know that you have to communicate your story or setup very quickly, to get across your idea in, literally, a handful of words. This is often a lot harder than it seems, as anyone who has tried to reduce an idea to a few sentences can attest to.

The flipside is that, if you have a good feed, you can truly hit a joke a minute just browsing Twitter (or X, if you really insist) on an average day. Of course, with more algorithmic content, you will also get exposed to some more questionable ideas, but at the very least, you are unlikely to be bored.
