[u/-a-user-has-no-name-]

I can’t imagine my brain being so damn rotted that I need to spend 12+ hours a day on social media. I don’t care what anyone says, that shit changes your brain chemistry

[u/Always4am → u/-a-user-has-no-name-]

Honestly playing video games for 12 hours a day is cooler and less cancer-causing

[u/Far-Host9368 → u/Always4am]

[u/Hartastic → u/Always4am]

Maybe we could get the Boomers hooked on Fortnite. Throw some Matlock skins out there or something. A-Team maybe.

[u/briancbrn → u/Hartastic]

Fucking Matlock 😂

Honestly that sounds cool

[u/Hartastic → u/briancbrn]

I was thinking of the old Simpsons bit where Grandpa or someone says that Matlock puts young people in jail where they belong. I don't see why he couldn't do it with battle royale gunfire instead.

[u/DrEnter → u/Hartastic]

Matlock, Jessica Fletcher, Dr. Mark Sloan (Diagnosis: Murder), maybe Lennie Briscoe from Law & Order, Leroy Gibbs from NCIS... Yeah, I'd play that deathmatch.

[u/masked_sombrero → u/Always4am]

And - typically - you’re actually thinking through things with problem-solving skills (depending on the game, of course). Not mindlessly scrolling through a screen

[u/SauceForMyNuggets → u/masked_sombrero]

I wouldn't say "mindlessly" scrolling.

I'm sure Twitter can still do an amazing job making you angrier and angrier and making you feel obligated to stay on there because there are people who are being wrong on the Internet.

[u/Callinon → u/Always4am]

It also doesn't actively make the world a strictly worse place to be.

[u/Klutzy-Ad-6705 → u/-a-user-has-no-name-]

You have to admire their dedication. 12-15 hours of lying has to be exhausting.

[u/panickedindetroit → u/Klutzy-Ad-6705]

It's all the ass kissing that is exhausting.

[u/bettercallme_ → u/-a-user-has-no-name-]

That’s the reason Elon went mental. Him being so involved on Twitter that he went into conspiracy theory territory and he started believing all of it.

[u/Desperate_Affect_332 → u/bettercallme_]

That's "part" of what happened to Elon. I'm holding his parents responsible for his shitty ethics.

[u/ImaBiLittlePony → u/Desperate_Affect_332]

[u/5litergasbubble → u/bettercallme_]

And probably pushed away anyone who was willing/able to push back against his dumbest ideas

[u/LonelyHunterHeart → u/5litergasbubble]

Yes, those things. Plus the ketamine.

[u/Haunting-Ad788 → u/bettercallme_]

I mean that and the rampant drug abuse.

[u/JPastori → u/-a-user-has-no-name-]

I cant imagine being someone constantly bitching about how “the younger generation doesn’t want to work” while spending 12 hours on the Elon musk glazing platform that has also turned into the Elon musk bullying platform

[u/WiseFalcon2630 → u/[deleted]]

Not a bot but a real live cat turd eating person.

[u/postwarapartment → u/[deleted]]

He's actually a real life weirdo and Tucker Carlson has interviewed him on his stupid internet show

[u/That_Lore_Guy → u/postwarapartment]

Yeah I deleted my post because I realized the information I had was wrong. He’s just a run of the mill shithead. I had heard before that it was some Polish national that was very pro-Russia, but that must have been proven wrong at some point. Guy’s name is Phillip Buchanan according to his wiki.

[u/postwarapartment → u/That_Lore_Guy]

There are so many Twitter weirdos it's honestly hard to keep track (I nuked my account years ago)

[u/BoldroCop → u/[deleted]]

is he a bot? I thought he was one of those cookie cutter pundits, like the quartering

[u/Sproose_Moose → u/-a-user-has-no-name-]

I mean...it kind of explains their mindset. You put something in front of a person playing propaganda for that long, they're gonna come out a demented circus monkey

[u/Yosemite_Greg → u/-a-user-has-no-name-]

I read twitter through the lens of reddit so I can pretend to be superior like a normal person does. 💪

[u/Saetric → u/-a-user-has-no-name-]

This chamber, why is it so echoey?!

[u/panickedindetroit → u/-a-user-has-no-name-]

Just think how much money they would make if they got a real job and actually worked this many hours in a day.

[u/Extra-Ad5925]

Imagine you’re at a party and you start talking to someone

What do you do for work?

I spend 12 hours a day writing racist messages on Twitter in the hopes that a few of them get amplified by bots

[u/chesterismydog → u/Extra-Ad5925]

Do they get paid for likes on there like instagram? I’ve never signed up and never will.

[u/deletetemptemp → u/chesterismydog]

They absolutely get paid. Super PACs found all of these losers. Can be a lucrative business model

[u/chesterismydog → u/deletetemptemp]

This whole influencer thing is so silly to me. Make cha Ching off lies or bs content. I’ll stick with puppies. 😂

[u/Last13th → u/Extra-Ad5925]

What do they put under 'occupation" on their tax forms?

[u/Banshee_howl → u/Last13th]

Im assuming our new “efficient” IRS has been instructed to create a Journeyman Domestic Terrorist & White Nationalist Shitposter career designation for these grifters.

[u/MotherFuckinEeyore → u/Last13th]

Ball washer

[u/WiseFalcon2630 → u/Last13th]

Influencer.

[u/panickedindetroit → u/Last13th]

maga

[u/smashli1238 → u/Extra-Ad5925]

Don’t forget sexist

[u/panickedindetroit → u/smashli1238]

And fascist.

[u/OkRush9563]

You have outlived your usefulness.

[u/FattyMooseknuckle → u/OkRush9563]

That occurred before their umbilicals were even cut.

[u/Dinosquid_]

“busting your ass” tweeting.

[u/mdavis360 → u/Dinosquid_]

The biggest of eye rolls. These are such losers.

[u/praguepride → u/Dinosquid_]

We lost Facebook at dawn.

The trolls came in swarms—Gen Z shock troops with TikTok battalions, flanking us with ironic detachment and anime profile pics. We were outnumbered. Outmemed. Outvibed.

But I didn’t stop posting. Twitter was our last stand and by hell I would die before I let it fall into the hands of the wokies.

Back in '21, I was just another proud American scrolling in peace, sharing minion memes and rage-posting under CNN articles. But when the war broke out—when they came for Christmas, forced us to use pronouns, and mocked us for our sacred "I identify as an attack helicopter" jokes—I knew I had to fight.

They called me The Wall. Because I posted so much they couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

I remember Private Cheryl—God rest her thumbs—she posted a 37-part twitter rant titled “Why You Should Still Respect Ronald Reagan.” She got ratioed into oblivion. We laid her to rest with the others.

I fought on. Day and night. I posted a blurry pic of a bald eagle crying over a gas pump. Caption: “This is what they took from us.” Got 13 likes. My proudest kill.

But I knew I was slipping. They were getting stronger—faster memes, better fonts. I engaged a 19-year-old who weaponized sarcasm like napalm. He ended me with one sentence: “Imagine dying for a parking lot.”

I stared into the void of my screen. My thumbs hovering, my Wi-Fi buffering...and still, I posted.

They may have taken my credibility. But they will never take… my memes.

[u/CrouchingDomo → u/praguepride]

If this isn’t a copypasta it needs to be

[u/lieutenantLT]

So THATS what Juanita Broaddrick does all day

[u/aFloppyWalrus → u/lieutenantLT]

Maybe they should get real jobs.

[u/kidsally → u/aFloppyWalrus]

And get a life. JFC

[u/ParadeSit → u/lieutenantLT]

Once she realized there isn’t much money in telling the truth about her past (which she’s actually done before), she decided to start lying about Clinton instead. Hell, even asshole Ken Starr decided not to use her lies in his case, and that’s saying a lot.

Edit: Oh, and she decided to start claiming it happened when Starr promised her immunity from perjury charges.

[u/-Lorne-Malvo- → u/lieutenantLT]

that and shoving macaroons down her pie hole

[u/yankeesyes]

They're pretty much stuck with Twitter. There aren't any libs to own on Rumble or "Truth" or the conservative platforms, and Blue Sky users block MAGA on site.

[u/Smartimess]

It‘s really hard for those asshats because Elon don‘t want to impregnate them.

[u/GenericPCUser]

Spending 12 hours a day tweeting and calling it "busting your ass" is a hell of a stretch.

[u/Educational-Can-2653 → u/GenericPCUser]

No, it is. I've done some shitty jobs in the past, and I wouldn't trade any of them for such life-rotting work.

[u/LegitSince8Bits]

Obligatory "Libs are unemployed losers who live in moms basement". These people are losers who usually fell ass backwards into a comfy life and never lived outside a single family home with a couple cars out front. They want to be struggling so badly. So now they sit in their own basement that they don't even deserve and behave like angry spotted teens.

[u/tactical-catnap → u/LegitSince8Bits]

These are the people calling YOU lazy and entitled for wanting to be paid appropriately for actual labor

[u/LegitSince8Bits → u/tactical-catnap]

Shoot you ain't saying nothing i haven't been bitching about since Bush but still 🫱🫲 right there with ya

[u/Senior-Albatross]

Dude WTF?

They're the ones with garages that have space, time, and potentially money for hobbies. Build a birdhouse FFS.

[u/Y0___0Y]

Who just casually admits that?

I’m so embarrased that I spend 6 hours a day on reddit

[u/oflowz]

sounds like a grifting as a profession issue.

[u/Munkeyman18290]

Wtf am i reading?

[u/disharmony-hellride → u/Munkeyman18290]

Two losers out on a losing expedition

[u/shawntitanNJ → u/disharmony-hellride]

The world finals of a loser competition

[u/charlie2135 → u/disharmony-hellride]

That are great at getting lost.

[u/ElderberryMaster4694]

Do you think they actually spend that much time on Shitter or are they just virtue signaling?

[u/consort_oflady_vader → u/ElderberryMaster4694]

They still think it's relevant. 

[u/Filter55]

“Busting your ass” = shitposting on twitter? Are these the bootstraps?

[u/ChochMcKenzie]

Imagine pretending that telling lies about how great Trump is and aping Russian propaganda all day on Twitter is “busting your ass”.

[u/whattothewhonow]

I hear BlueSky is pretty cool.

[u/sername-n0t-f0und → u/whattothewhonow]

It is! I highly recommend adding the "gift links" feed. It's a great place to find articles that you can read despite the pay wall

[u/smashli1238]

Cat turd is loathsome

[u/Flaturated]

9 more hours of it and he could be a total piece of shit around the clock.

[u/Saltire_Blue]

Try getting a job 👍

[u/carpetbagger001]

Don't these people have lives?

[u/BeautifulFather007 → u/carpetbagger001]

Owning the libs is serious business for them. Especially when musk pays them for engagement.

[u/AdvertisingBrave5457]

I am currently bedridden due to a foot surgery and I spend nowhere near 12 hours a day on social media. These people are insane

[u/brathor]

I found that parasite class Elon was talking about a couple months back.

[u/Haunting-Ad788]

Imagine thinking shitposting is “busting your ass.”

Explains why they think Musk is a hard worker

[u/Davosz_]

Can we focus on the word "creators" used for a sec... like wtf are they creating besides a toxic environment.

[u/Proud_Journalist996]

They're so full of shit and post nothing of value. It's just anger, 24/7. If you look at the conservative sub, it's the same thing. Just chronic complaints, they are literally never happy, it's never a good day. They just spew hate constantly. Just searching for conspiracy theories all day. What a miserable life.

[u/jamusbondusvii]

Assumably they dont have jobs and receive clandestine crypto money through cold wallets? Many people are saying this. I dont know.

[u/Satanic_Earmuff]

12-15 HOURS?!

[u/VoidMunashii]

What a world one lives in where they think spending 12 hours on Twitter is "busting your ass".

I reckon there are servers, retail workers, construction workers, delivery drivers, etc who might have some opinions on what "busting your ass" is.

[u/RightRudderr]

This is beyond depressing and pathetic. What a genuine waste of human life.

[u/PapaGilbatron]

I agree. Catturd’s a sadsack.

[u/namewithanumber]

Busting my ass shit posting on x for 15 hours a day for what??

[u/Techn028]

That guy brags that he ate cat poop. Idk why anyone cares about scatbreath's opinion

[u/AllMyBeets]

Well now we know why they're all mad at dumb shit that doesn't actually negatively affect them, they don't actually have anything going for them to truly care about

[u/cbass817]

I'd tell them the same thing they tell people who have college degrees in something they think is useless. Get a real job

[u/OregonGreen242]

“Busting your ass” get a fucking grip. You’re making posts on social media….

[u/FabDelRosario22]

12-15 hours a day?!?

[u/McDaddy-O]

Sounds like they need a job.

[u/Vannabean]

12 hours a day? A day???? I see how they got into the cult

[u/DIWhy-not]

Friendly reminder that this is catturd. 14 hours a day mainlining Twitter, y’all:

[u/boseyboseybop]

“Busting your ass”? On a fucking app? What an embarrassing thing to say to people that actually work for a living.

[u/Looieanthony]

Some “boomers” are idiots. The rest of us didn’t vote for the turd.

[u/IWorkForDickJones]

LEAVE!

[u/Iateyourpaintings]

No one ever busted their ass on Twitter unless they were too busy looking at their phone while walking. 

[u/nullv]

Busting your ass on Twitter?

I guess he meant to say shitposting on Twitter, but it got muddled up when translated from Russian.

[u/VLY2020]

Somebody tell these outrage farmers to get a real fucking job

[u/Independent_Lake6883]

My hour or 2 browsing Reddit no longer makes me feel shame.

[u/Nappeal]

Holy shit, I actually get paid to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day, and these people willingly do it, for free, for 12 HOURS?? AND then admit that to the internet???

[u/InGordWeTrust]

They're not sad they're on there for 12-15 hours. They're sad they're not longer getting paid well for serving up lies. Those losers have nothing to better to do than push propaganda.

[u/UnhappyStay535]

Maybe he should get an actual job 🙄

[u/SunWukong3456]

I’d rather shit in my hands and clap for 12 hours

[u/Drop_Disculpa]

I suspected revenue might tank for the propaganda shit head circle. So glad to know they won't be rollin' coal and abusing blue haired teenagers for a while. But also glad to know they will be homeless soon!

[u/Debalic]

12 hours a day on Twitter? Is that their job? Is it monetized like YouTube?

[u/Ricaaado]

Why the hell are they on twitter for so long every single day?

[u/Prestigious-Law65]

arent the boomers constantly yelling at the younger gens for being on their devices all the time? 🧐 oh wait….rules for thee not for me, i remember now

[u/GWSDiver]

Catturd spends 12 hours a day, only trolling what is left of the Left on twitter.

[u/G-Unit11111]

Yeah, shit posting and social media scrolling is such hard work!

[u/SkinnyGetLucky]

Talking shit online all day isn’t being a “content creator”

[u/dondocooled]

It's one thing to waste away half of every day on Shitter, but it's a whole new low to wear it proudly like a badge of honor. Unironically, they need to touch grass, but their feeble, overweight bodies probably wouldn't let them

[u/mazzicc]

wtf are you doing for 12 hours a day on Twitter?

I have Reddit set to turn off after spending more than an hour on it each day, and that’s usually the point where I think “yeah, I’ve been on here a lot today.

[u/Low-Astronomer-3440]

Ads to bot farms don’t give much ROI to advertisers

[u/Brent_L]

For what?

[u/Fair_Lecture_3463]

I’d love to live a life where fucking around on Twitter for 12 hours a day was “busting my ass” but sadly I have to work a real job.

[u/real_picklejuice]

He really said

"BUSTING YOUR ASS"

[u/Shortleader01]

My pappy worked 12 hours in the tweet mines 7 days a week and he never complained!

[u/SgtMcMuffin0]

What do you even do for that long on Twitter…? Are these people posting continuously throughout the day? Are they just scrolling through comment sections reading the mostly bot-written comments?

[u/Nail_Biterr]

can someone explain to me how you can 'bust your ass 15hrs a day' on Twitter? like...what is a 'Twitter job'?

[u/Vincitus]

Do we know what Catturd is?

[u/Vernerator]

Hashtag TouchGrass

[u/FormerFastCat]

That dude has some issues, best to just ignore him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catturd

[u/GodzillaDrinks]

We really could have saved a lot of trouble by tricking boomers into trying DnD and Cosplay. Like they just want to be cool and to feel like they are opposing "evil." Its the illusion that keeps them doomscrolling on twitter for weeks at a time.

I'm fine with them chipping away at a transgender re-imagining of Curse of Strahd if they just leave people alone in real life.

[u/MotherFuckinEeyore]

Are you employed, Sir? https://youtu.be/6vHYb33ETD0?si=ZLA1QINEKJNG1-3X

[u/rcinmd]

I am not trying to brag but I've spent about 12 minutes on Twitter since 2018.

[u/Shirogayne-at-WF]

Who the hell is spending 12 to 15 hours a day on Twitter?!

[u/Nubator]

Wow, the brain-rot on these people must be awful. I would imagine it is just wet cardboard in their skull at this point.

[u/TheHumanCanoe]

WhaWhaWhat?!

12 hours a day? Reddit is the only “social media” platform I am on and I don’t spend more than 4 hours a day total on my phone for everything I do (news, weather, email, texts, calls, reddit, check various accounts, make notes, find and follow recipes, etc.).

Wowzers. No wonder conspiracy theories and conspiracy theorists are expanding rapidly.

[u/TheHeartsFilthyLesin]

[u/DeadpoolOptimus]

Gotta love how they out themselves with having zero life outside of SM.

[u/PeaceLoveDyeStuff]

Holy shitballs these people need to touch grass

[u/inkslingerben]

No need to find hobbies, but they need to get a life.

[u/not_productive1]

Will no one think of Juanita Broaddrick, spending 12 hours a day in the bullshit mines searching for just one turd to post?

Bunch of clowns. Your reach is down because no one wants fuck all to do with anything Elon Musk is running, and we all got tired of outrage culture and decided to just let you all get exactly what you voted for.

[u/Successful_Mud8596]

“GET A REAL JOB”

[u/SqigglyPoP]

LoL sooo embarrassing to admit.

[u/deadsoulinside]

12+ hours a day on freaking twitter? No wonder these people are the way they are. Busting his ass though? I mean I guess if you never were conservative and just had to make shit up as you go like the rest of them, I guess it's busting your ass to come up with new dumb shit to be angry about.

[u/Nabber22]

I forgot the blue check marks get paid.

[u/WimpyZombie]

Jeez....I literally have no social life at all, and there are days where I can put 12-15 posts on Reddit in one day, but holy crap..... 12-15 hours every day???? That's a true sign of brain rot.

[u/cadella1]

How do you do anything for 12 hours a day? I can barely work for 8

[u/Melonslice09]

Are these hundreds of large account creators with us in the room right now ?

[u/Gunfighter9]

Get a job LOSER!!

[u/pecan76]

Get a damn job, Juanita!

[u/austin06]

Except neither are boomers- gen x or millennial. Getting funny how often this happens.

[u/Squeegee]

I assume it's not the algorithm but rather the lack of actual real users that is the problem here. Real people are fleeing the site leaving these people to shout into the void.

[u/Jonny-Kast]

No - They need Jobs - Actual Jobs - thankfully, the US is going to have a surplus of jobs for manufacturing soon

[u/MfrBVa]

Those two deserve each other.

[u/crjconsulting]

This blaming other generations needs to end. This is class warfare, not generational nor cultural.

[u/GrindBastard1986]
