People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

This little godfucker of a wasp is the Eastern Cicada Killer. It'll make you want to both run and hide, but yeah, completely chill towards people. The first time I saw one was in Kentucky- it was horrifying but we did a lil catch and release and it was all good from there.

I actually have had one of those in my mouth before unfortunately. I didnt know thats what it was.

I was barbecuing at a cabin in Shenandoah and it flew into my Mikes Hard Lemonade without me noticing. When I took a swig I had what felt like a large piece of wet carpet in my mouth, and then that fuckin thing was the result. Thankfully, he was extremely intoxicated from his swim and could hardly move let alone sting my mouth out of self defense or anything
