For screenshots of humorous, clean, nonpolitical social media posts. This primarily implies Twitter, but Facebook, Tumblr, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. are allowed too. It should be primarily text-based though.
Rules
- Again, no politics.
- No Lemmy posts. You're already on a Lemmy instance. There's no need to screenshot it and post it here.
- No Reddit posts. That's too similar to Lemmy.
- The joke must be text. Images can be included in the screenshot, but only as needed context.
- Use correct cropping. Don't have a mile of whitespace or show extraneous UI, but don't crop out the date or author.
- No doxxing. Again, don't crop out the author's name as he or she has chosen to share it, but definitely do not share extra information which may be personally identifiable or libelous.
- Link to the original post either in the body or in a comment.
We are obviously not affiliated with Twitter in any way.

I don't really understand why people reacted negatively to this. It's a known thing that people do and other people abuse in one way or another.
It seemed like a nonsequiter? How is efficiency in sandwich knife use in any way related to what you said?
Yeah, it’s not one of the things people associate with incompetence, weaponized or otherwise.
Going on a seemingly random rant about weaponized incompetence on the other hand I’m not saying it’s a red flag, but it’s certainly not a green one
I think they were reading into the knife example as meaning they'd just leave the knife there after leaving the kitchen, expecting someone else to deal with it. Which if someone did habitually would be an instance of weaponized incompetence. I more charitably assume people are doing this while still actively in the vicinity.
