Twitter is a place where online culture is created. That can be said of any number of social media sites, but Twitter is one that transcends the website and enters popular culture. Have you ever watched a movie and thought, "This sounds like it was written by a robot whose only exposure to humans is through Twitter discourse." I had that exact thought while watching the 2022 movie Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, and I'm not the only one.

Occasionally, tweets become so iconic that nobody ever forgets where they came from. These are the tweets whose screenshots are shared again and again years after they were posted. While some Twitter users strike lighting in a bottle like this multiple times, not everybody can be dril. Most of the following tweets are classic unforgettable moments to internet poisoned people. To the average man, they're unfortunately unrecognizable. If you knew any of these tweets before today, congratulations! You're a freak like the best of us.
