Screenshot of a Twitter thread. The top tweet is by “Key” (@KeyTryer) with a fox avatar, saying: “This thread is an incredible display of how technology is so abstracted away from Zoomers' understanding that they'd self-own doing these ‘one weird trick’ rather than learning how things work.” Below it is a quoted tweet by Star (@RanLuna13) that reads: “Tutorial for putting not selectable text for your fics in AO3. I didn't find the tutorial for making your fanfic with not selectable text for it to be unable to be copy-pasted to IA, so I made one myself to help everyone in very easy steps!” followed by hashtags #ao3 #fanfics #tutorial and a graphic that says “Not selectable text for your fics in AO3.” The tweet shows engagement counts (25 replies, 79 retweets, 1,248 favorites) and a timestamp “1:08 pm · Mar 14, 2026 · Twitter for Android.” Below is a reply by Key stating: “I mean it's cool that the web was made accessible for all people, but human biases really have caused people to overestimate how much they understand things are done and in response, to do things that don't help anyone and make everything worse for everyone.”
Screenshot of a tweet by “jordan” (@wagesj45) dated Feb 15. The tweet reads: “The TikTok cargo cult strikes again. The total lack of both understanding of how the world works and ability to critically think about anything is driving me to despair. If you tell people that no, actually, France didn’t release the unredacted Epstein files, they’ll give you a multitude of reasons why no one can see them; just making up things. Education in this country has been a complete failure if this is what we’re capable of as a society.” Below the text is a link preview from snopes.com showing a split image: the top appears to show Donald Trump sitting beside a young girl in a white dress, and the bottom shows Trump speaking with another young girl. The preview caption reads “snopes.com (@snopes) on X” with a truncated description beginning “There’s no evidence that countries outside the U.S., including France, have access to …”. Interaction icons appear below the tweet.
