The Funniest Tweets From October That You’ll Totally Love

Back in 2006, some clever folks had a wild idea: what if people shared tiny snapshots of their lives in super short messages? And just like that, Twitter popped up as a fun side project. Jack Dorsey sent the first tweet ever: "just setting up my twttr." Starting small, right?

The name "Twitter" was inspired by the idea of little bursts of info flying around like bird tweets. The site was supposed to be silly and quick. And boy, it sure nailed that vibe! Initially, everyone just shared what they were up to, like "eating a sandwich" or "watching TV." Riveting stuff.

That 140-character limit? Genius! It turned tweeting into a super fun challenge: How much can you say with just a handful of words? It's like Twitter dared everyone to be clever in tiny packages.

Also, Twitter tapped into a classic human question: "Does anyone care what I think?" Turns out, not really, but people love to pretend they have a huge audience. Followers, likes, retweets… it's all part of the game.

Major events turned Twitter into the place to be. From festivals to disasters, news would break there first. Suddenly, your neighbor and even the president could blast their thoughts straight to the world.

Celebs and brands hopped on too. They realized they could chat with fans without actually chatting. Politicians loved skipping the middleman and talking straight to you, for better or worse.

Twitter basically let everyone shout into the internet void without leaving their couch. Pajamas and popcorn required. Suddenly, your 3 AM rants felt like deep thinking.

Hashtags, retweets, threads - Twitter invented whole new ways to say stuff. Threads were like mini novels, despite the tiny character limit. Humans will find a way!

In the end, Twitter caught the perfect human combo: wanting to be heard but having the attention span of a goldfish. It’s silly, loud, sometimes brilliant, and totally addictive.
