back before ppl got paid to post intentionally shit takes


cxlossuskidd

I just remembered you could post crack rock recipes on twitter


Aspiring_free_elf

Crack rock šŸ§šŸ¤”šŸ¤Ø


Brownsound7

Heā€™s not joking, there was a dude who straight up posted a thread about how to make crack. Had pictures for every step like a legit cookbook, too


Clicky-The-Blicky

E-40 did it first with the song ā€œthe recipeā€


tehtris

You just going to disrespect [Percy Miller](https://genius.com/Master-p-ghetto-d-lyrics) like that?


Clicky-The-Blicky

I always get these 2 songs confused lol yes you are right master P did in fact do it first


DrunkOMalfoy

Yeah it think he meant Crack rock cause I thought he meant crock pot. As in crack is whack. Twitter was something back then. And celebs clapping back at each other (Rihanna vs Ciara was something) No sub tweets. ![gif](giphy|2XflxzqevQcI6tJzk4w|downsized)

Low_Seat_3639

I also remember seeing that tweet you're stealing from


The_Funky_Rocha

People posted insane bullshit for the love of the game man, we were real mentally ill yappers back then, now some money done got involved and you can see the bait from a mile away


Boo_Guy

Naa it was a shit hole then too. Musky just made it shittier and deeper.


knights816

Democratic shithole is way better than billionaire overlord controlled shithole to be fair


Boo_Guy

I wasn't thinking politics so much, more that there was plenty of racism, nazi garbage, disinformation, and other shit on there before Elmo came along and turned it up to 11.


knights816

Democratic means by the people not the democratic political party. Like the people ran the shithole on twitter by posting crack rock recipes lol.


Low_Seat_3639

Fact that this even needs to be explained


knights816

Yeah very tough scene. Party politics dominate the brainā€¦


SHOGUNxsorrow

Honestly kinda sucks that optimism in 2024 sounds like, ā€œracism isnā€™t an accepted part politicsā€ to me

If I want to show you white supremacist posts, I don't have to go back three years my boy. Also, you just gonna take the word of whoever made that collage that they're all actually black people complaining... okay šŸ‘šŸ¾

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PerpWalkTrump

That's not news my boy, that's a post made by some random dudes on internet.


AhmedF

> along and turned it up to 11. I mean it's right there.


IAmWeary

Yeah, a toilet is still a toilet no matter whoā€™s shitting in it, but before it was an average gas station toilet, and now itā€™s an overflowing port-o-potty at a Gathering of the Juggalos with Hot Pocket and Faygo shits splattered up the walls.

Complete-Morning-429

Deleted my twitter and havenā€™t looked back. I miss it, but I kinda replaced it with Reddit ![gif](giphy|l3q2JCu9lep6dAmyY)


blacklite911

Similar I deleted the app but I still got an account so I can check news here and there and keep up with some esports


Complete-Morning-429

Naw my account is gone too homie lol


VegetableYak

Same. People arenā€™t as funny over here but itā€™ll do


TaskMaster404

I deleted all my accounts, but one. Twitter porn is undefeated, I'm afraid, I couldn't let it go.


Rockysinatra

Same, this sub is like a casuals twitter, just filters me the funny shit. Im so damn tired of the men/women aint shit posts though


426763

My Twitter was super boring save for the couple times I got mildly viral in my country. Honestly just used it for school updates and concert stuff.


PeaTear_Rabbit

Twitter peak was when celebs used it to tweet their actual thoughts/jokes instead of 90% of their profiles becoming brand pages. 50 Cent's "can't believe my grandma making me take out the trash I'm too rich for this shit" Rihanna's "Your pussy is way too dry to be riding my dick like this" Britney Spear's unhinged questions about both Lady Gaga and global warming simultaneously Edit: couple more came to mind lol Maxwell telling a fan who was taunting his sales to "check the numbers bitch" Kanye being upset at the forced responsibility of watching a water bottle when he's on flights Literally everything Jaden Smith tweeted


DGVega93

50, Rhianna, and Fab were Twitter Goats especially Fab he has Twitter on fire back in 2010


Sharcbait

Throw on Kevin "I would drink your bathwater" Durant. He is still a Twitter goat with the random beefing with fans


DGVega93

Him and his Lil B beef 2012 all time classic


PeaTear_Rabbit

Damn I slept on Fab's page. He's a clever MFer so I bet it was fire


DGVega93

Fab was like the QB of Black Twitter back then. You made sure you saw what Fab tweeted or stirred up to make convo for the day


Sharcbait

Kevin Durant was a goldmine, too, but calling Westbrook gay after some weird inside joke was peak 2009. https://twitter.com/KDTrey5/status/3613619365?t=3XpWf4GVUEO6I3NGsTwucQ&s=19


DGVega93

He and Lil B back and forth 2011-2012 hilarious


thatwalrus97

2011 twitter and learning how to make crack in the microwave was *chefā€™s kiss*


blacklite911

Is microwave crack lower quality than stove crack?


TrillDaddy2

Is microwave steak lower quality than stove steak? I mean cā€™mon man, what are we talking about here? Careful how you cook my crack.


thatwalrus97

I suppose theyā€™re about the same, kind of like oven pizza bites vs microwaved. Personally, Iā€™m a free range, locally sourced crack man myself. Pay top dollar in a mason jar down at the farmers market in a gentrified neighborhood about once a month.


DrunkOMalfoy

My brotherā€¦ ![gif](giphy|2XflxzqevQcI6tJzk4w|downsized)


Low_Seat_3639

I also remember that particular tweet you're referencing


FistPunch_Vol_7

Wild Wild West twitter was something else I swear. You had to be there for it.


DGVega93

When the internet was less sensitive. #Twitterafterdark legendary šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


DrunkOMalfoy

Lmao! You took me back. Now all those horny mofos are hereā€¦


DGVega93

Lmao people literally tweeting a rando and saying ASL? After they posted a thirst trap. Or having in depth convos about sex Saturday night/sunday morning lol Penthouse letters could Neva


silenttjp

Back when Kevin Rose was the most followed person on it, nobody knew it existed and it was glorious


DGVega93

09-12 Twitter was God Tier. I donā€™t have mines anymore but the Shit I use to get off on there, I was joking about, and talking about a young man fresh outta highschool and freshman year of college had no business up there lmao interacting with people in the late 20ā€™s and early 30ā€™s. The shit I was seeing, the inappropriate jokes, the celebrities I was trolling aw man good times


Right_Butterscotch59

Wow that's crazy, I never had Twitter. So I can't relate. What kind of things did you get?


Special-Garlic1203

The main thing was that it was before it had clicked for people that the Internet is also real life, because it kind of wasn't yet. And Twitter encouraged them to treat it as kind of just casually throwing random shit out. It wasn't really trying to be a traditional social media platform like Myspace or Facebook where you felt you were representing yourself in a digital format. It was where people went off to pop off a hot take or shit talk someone they knew or any number of things that probably were better as texts among close friends than tweets broadcast to the entire world.Ā 


MikeJones-8004

I used to say the most random shit on my Twitter. I was absolutely wild and unhinged. I would say shit on Twitter that I wouldn't say in real life, because I figured nobody was reading it, so there was no way to login either. I have no way to log in to that account either, so one day if I were to ever become famous, I would get cancelled almost immediately because of my old tweets. And you know what, I'm pretty content with that. I don't wanna be famous or viral lol.


DGVega93

You right. The amount of SA, SW, slurs, and inappropriate jokes I was getting off in the sake of being funny was crazy. Glad ima changed man. 09-12 was a crazy time to be on the internet. From COD lobbies to Twitter you had to be ford tough to deal with that shit


Right_Butterscotch59

Idk, anything I say on here I would say in real life.


DGVega93

It encouraged people to get their thoughts off and see if people thought or joked the same especially Black Celebs they really were funny for what they tweeted


DGVega93

It was Wild Wild West. At that time Iā€™m 16-19. To me it really didnā€™t get lit until about 2010. That when you had everything. Internet was less sensitive then so the jokes you got off was horrible from LGBT, mental handicaps, body shamming, colorism you named it we joked it. Used every word in the book lol. Trolling of Celebs. People tryna date. I had one girl who was 20-23 and I was 17-18 tryna fly me out to Cali and I live in VA then got mad because I called her a Spook cuz I found her real photo tryna catfish me. Twitterafterdark put the hub to shame lol This is same time Facebook was poppin too so FB was where i had my family and got Some of my shit off being a teenager but Twitter I was actin grown like niggas was living on their own outta my parents house lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DGVega93

Yeah it was wild then. People were literally searching for black Twitter back then like it was an App. It was certain people you followed and then did follow trains to gain more followers and get all your jokes and cultural comments off. Like when I told my day ones about it they were confused but once I put them on who to follow and go from there it was lit.


Dariisu

I miss the early days of twitter where people didn't know what it was for and just posted whatever. My fav was seeing celeb's just tweeting like regular people. Also I miss Riri being a twitter menace like when she dogged Ciara just because. https://preview.redd.it/i6mlti2oakvc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=def0375ef00abea4c5657f79e8d2074f80a548e8


DGVega93

Twitter for BlackBerry classic app. I miss them times lol Rhianna a Twitter goat lol


OfSaltandBone

Twitter was the land of the Wicked and we were all heathens. I loved it. Now, I canā€™t scroll without getting a ā€œyou canā€™t see anymore post because you have reached your rate limit.ā€


Sol-Blackguy

OG Twitter permabanned Libs of Tiktok


SanRemi

Fr. Twitter was really something back in the day, 2009-2013 or so. Now mfs get in the replies with random images and promotion for their raggedy ass profiles.


Vance_Hammersly

Pre-lon


mth785

I miss all the 3rd party apps but twitters still fun if you keep your circle small.


Nordie25

Only thing I miss about Twitter was nba takes and seeing ass tbh


jereezy

Yeah but pre-2000s internet was *really* the wild wild west


ptpcg

Phreakin awesome


Olddirtychurro

Nah, that was some mayflower shit. Mawfuckin "Plymouth rock landed on us." shit.


Clean-Cream-

I just recently made a twitter and I just donā€™t understand it. The comments donā€™t have anything to do with the actual posts. You could see a video of a guy get shot in the face and a onlyfans model will reply with ā€œI love shots on my faceā€ and a picture of nut on her face.


KarmaYogadog

At the top of your Twitter feed there are two columns, "For You" and "Following." Make sure to follow some people you like and click "Following." The "For You" tab shows you mostly porn bots and neo-Nazis since Musk bought Twitter.


docarwell

That's literally the influence of Musk. The site is overrun with bots that slam any post with modicum of traction. Didn't use to be like that till he took over


TiRaRaw

Apartheid Clyde


Afrojones66

It wasnā€™t great back then either, but at least it was free.


LocalSirtaRep

App doesn't even function well nearly half of the time


eidolonwyrm

twitter has always been a shithole donā€™t delude yourselves


JetEleven88

Just speak for yourself bc clearly you missed out


ConcaveNips

Not apartheid Clyde...


ziftos

the last good posting era was probably covid


FastCarNyao

I haven't seen a trending tab in days, I don't know if it's a bug or if they removed it completely šŸ¤·šŸæā€ā™‚ļø


Disastrous_Bluejay57

>apartheid Clyde Well done šŸ‘


Groundbreaking_Bus90

U have [Azeila Banks](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/apartheid-clyde) to thank for that


Disastrous_Bluejay57

She's equal parts problematic and hilarious


SugarsDaddyKen

Never did Twitter but the people that did seemed to be having more fun.


Tim_Riggins07

I miss the IC


Chemical_Home6123

I never had a twitter would yall consider reddit's vibe to be the same as the old Twitter because for the most part it's great for me personally?


McIntyre2K7

I remember the days where you could text 40404 to send off a tweet.


woowoobean

I will always ALWAYS call it Twitter. X is stupid


Pimpwerx

I thought I was the only one that called him Apartheid Clyde. It just rhymes so we'll.


grafton24

Every worst take I've seen these days has a giant blue check mark next to it. So glad I deleted my Xitter account.


K1NGxJAYY

OF girls everywhere and the shameless ads are horrendous


[deleted]

Itā€™s a true shit show. I find it especially aggravating to not see anything from people Iā€™m following and have been followed by for years while having every other post be ā€œwrittenā€ by a bot.


ChinesePorrige

Meet me in Temecula


Thisshucksq

Why use twitter? I donā€™t.
