on important if true they talked about an underwater city inhabited by octopuses which they said have the intelligence of a 3 year old child, and now I'm just imagining what an underwater city inhabited entirely by 3 year olds e

4chan Afficher plus
but i think they are similar in that they both stem from features/limitations of the platform (namely the formatting of 4chan posts and the character limit of twitter posts), and they both serve to express ideas that are difficult to express in the default posting mode
the only problem with this idea is that i don't think the twitter thread has quite the same level of dialectical specificity as greentext. greentext had all kinds of specific, easily identifiable quirks like the whole
>be me
>be <age>
introduction or the fact that they were always in present tense
twitter threads are mostly written like any other tweet, with the exception of the (n/?) tweet counter and maybe some other stuff i'm not thinking about
[mike rugnetta voice] here's an idea: the twitter thread is the new greentext.
also a good point that @Trev brought up is that tfw doesn't necessarily require an image -- one can just say "tfw" and conjure That Feel in their audience, while mfw basically requires an image to be the titular "my face"
if i were mike rugnetta i'd probably have some broad semiotic point to make about the use of tfw and mfw, or perhaps something to say about their evolution from 4chan greentext standards to options in the tool belt of everyone looking to make good posts (but not, say, the >arrows or the phrasing eg:
>be me
>be 17), but i'm not mike rugnetta so that's all i'll say
i think tfw is just funnier for abstract reasons, plus it implies that the viewer might have also experienced That Feel, and we all know that the Relatable Content is what the teens want
mfw is more for like, extremely specific circumstances that probably wouldn't have happened to anyone else i think
