You know, the urge to tweet is a pretty funny thing. What makes us take our random, often silly thoughts and blast them out to the world? Why do we crave the validation of complete strangers liking and retweeting our musings? Maybe it’s the need for a little nod of approval from our digital peers. We all want to know that our thoughts are interesting, hilarious, or at least worth a little heart icon.
We want people to see our genius, to laugh, to cry, or maybe just to learn something new. Sure, there’s a bit of a noble quest to educate or entertain in there, but let’s be real—it’s mostly about the likes and retweets, right? Especially in the wild west of what used to be called Twitter. Regardless of whether these digital nuggets were shared out of pure brilliance or a desperate need for online validation, enjoy the funniest tweets from this week. Because sometimes, a good laugh is all we really need.
