As a kid, I often fantasized about having a superpower. It's true that I may have spent too much time with my older (and male) cousin, but the idea of being "special" like one of Professor X's mutant wards was an attractive fantasy. Judging by the popularity of X-Men, I probably wasn't alone in my yearning. The comics and movies, however, have done more than allow people to escape reality via superhero material. Over the last year the X-Men have inspired some seriously clever memes on Twitter - something that's a bit more relevant to our adult (and extremely online) tastes.
The memes generally follow the format of Professor X asking about a person's superpowers. The jokes riff on some pretty unimpressive skills or mutations, and the clever jokes unfold from there. While many of these are a bit less than fresh, the format has been seeing a comeback over the last month. We hope to see more of this smart humor, but in the meantime, we've rounded up some of our favorite examples of the meme. Maybe that's our superpower.
There's no better way to start your week off than with the best animals that twitter has to offer. This... this was one long weekend, we know, so there really is no better time to look at wholesome, funny, and entertaining animal tweets. Time to cleanse yourself and your timeline with some animal content that's good for the soul because animals in any context are pure good.
Even during a busy week such as this one, twitter users have found more than enough time to talk about their favorite animals. And we, just like every week, have collected those tweets for you. So yeah, we know this weekend may not have been the easiest, but we hope that some positivity in the form of animal tweets will make this week go a whole lot smoother for everyone.
Week by week, twitter surprises us with their love for animals. Endless. People tweet about animals all the time and in any context. And since we love animals so much, we want to see all of these awesome animal tweets that people come up with, to be able to share them with our friends and spread the animal love some more.
Because it's so hard to keep up, you know that we've got you covered, bringing you the best , most popular, most talked about animals on twitter every single week. Have you ever seen a person sharing a secret with a monkey? Well, you're about to. It's not too surprising though, animals are the best listeners after all.
It takes a savvy comic mind to pack a quality joke into Twitter's 280 character limit. Not everyone's got the chops. Their one-liners fall flat. Their tweets smack of try-hard desperation. Not these tweetsmiths. These writers and shillers of amusing observations have managed to find that harmonious sweet spot of humor and brevity.
Because of course a Whole Foods in Brooklyn can't stand to be just another place that carries LaCroix. Step up your LaCroix game, other Whole Foods.
These last few months have been a bit stressful, we know. It's been hard to keep our heads held high and stay strong. But you know who's the best at keeping their heads held high? It's quite an obvious answer when you think about it... it's a giraffe! Duh!
These taller than life, adorable, high and mighty, clumsy and beautiful creatures are the best to teach us exactly how to stay strong and stand tall at any and all time. Giraffes are also extremely funny, did you know that? And people tweeting about giraffes may even be funnier than that. But these tall beings are not just funny, they're also so incredible adorable, sometimes it's surprising. So, hopefully, these tweets will make you smile, laugh, and make you stand just a little bit taller.
Let's be honest, all dogs are good dogs. But funny dogs are extra good dogs. Why? Because on top of being a good doggo, they are doing an extra job of making you laugh. Mind you, it's not an easy job for them to do, and really, their hard work has to be appreciated and admired on an additional level.
So, when you pet them, it's important that you not only say "who's a good boy" but add "who's an extra good boy". Make sure that you know that even when they're being funny and maybe doing something ridiculous, and even if they get their head stuck in something or eat something they're not supposed to and are not having the best day, they are loved despite and for being the silliest doggos.
When it comes to animals, no one has more love to spread than twitter users. Every day, every week, practically every minute, people tweet something new about animals, showing their love for the little creatures in many, many different ways. Everything from cats to alpacas and from funny animals to the most wholesome doggo meets baby pictures you've ever seen.
So, every single week, since we know you love animals just as much if not more than any dedicated twitter user, we bring you the best, most viral animal tweets we can find. And we hope that all the positivity twitter has about animals spreads to you as well.
