And therein lies the problem. The simplicity of being able to join the network and become popular by 'buying' followers will allow humans - or bots, in this case - to tweet things that you think are very much relatable to you, but are actually utter rubbish.
So here are a few stupid quotes that I've found.
1. I'm Single But I Know Who I Want
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this quote. In fact, I quite agree with it. Sometimes you just have that someone.
The stupidity arises when you see who tweeted this tweet: Six Words Story. Six. Six. Six.
SPOILER HINT: That's not six, is it?
2. That awkward moment when you make sure your feet are inside your bed covers because you know ghosts like to grab feet.
No we don't. In fact, scientific studies have shown that majority of people cover their feet simply because they feel uncomfortable when their feet are cold.
Simple.
Not because we're afraid Casper will come around at night. Because we're not that naive... yet.
3. Not everything is meant it be, but everything is worth a try.
So I should probably try killing someone and then say I didn't mean for it to be... right?
I'm sure the person who wrote this had good intentions but, I just don't agree. Sometimes you don't need to try. Because sometimes, no matter how hard you try or how many times you attempt to try, the results are still not what we want.
For instance, if you keep doing things the same way, no matter how many times you try, you'll probably get the same failures. Is it meant to be? Probably, but you didn't try the right way.
So then, the quote should be:"Not everything is meant to be, but everything is worth a try if you correct your mistakes and improve your methodology."
Okay... maybe that's more than 140 words. #oops
4. If I could live in a bikini, on a beach and be carefree everyday I would be the happiest person alive.
No I won't. And we won't either. Come on, let's be honest. The beach isn't the most interesting place, is it?
Imagine being 'carefree' by running about along the coast, chasing the sunset on the other end. Sounds like a typical music video scene, doesn't it?
Now imagine doing that for the rest of your life.
Let's face it, all we want is money. So we can go to as many places we want, and buy things for ourselves and the people around us who deserve it. I'm pretty sure that beats being on a beach.
Oh, and of course, the bikini. I won't want to wear that.
5. True friends will be by your side through it all.
Well in that case, we'll all have no true friends.
Let's face it. We all have our own problems. And we are expecting others to be there for us when they have their own issues to settle.
So that becomes a difficult situation, doesn't it? You are troubled, and you are expecting your troubled friend to help you. So are you going to help him too?
I define true friends differently. I never expect them to be there for me all the time, through every milestone in my life. True friends, for me, are people who you can open up to, be frank with, share precious moments together without feeling awkward, reserved or held back. It's that simple. Because if everyone expects their true friends to be there with them all the time, then is it perhaps too much to ask? So just because a very close friend who has been there for you for the past 7 years or so misses maybe say, just one big problem you've encountered. Will you brush him/her aside and just label him as "another friend"?
Expectations, guys. If we set so many standards, we won't get what we want - and deserve.

Kind of a half-hearted post, I guess, mainly because it's Monday and I'm bored. So I just wanted to type something so that I can get rid of the blues. Which is ironic because I love blue.
I'm getting very corny with these jokes.
Song of the day:
Zedd - True Colors
(No I won't apologise for the fire in my eyes. Let me show you my, my true colors, it ain't no rainbow.)
