The original snap was: #thingsfatpeoplehatedoing.
Here are some snaps back – one-liner’s, survey results – that caught my eye:
- Jasmine Lewis: going to the doctor
- Black Dynomite: shopping for clothes
- Bucky Dolla: walking up steps
- Jasmine Lewis: eating a salad at a restaurant with skinny people.. knowing their hungry as shit..
- Black Dynomite: wasting food
- Miss Brii: missing mealz…im fat (minded) i wud know lmmfao that shyt kills me to miss a meal
- Michelle Hass: putting up with bigoted bull-crap. #lastacceptablebigotry .
- angerisloud: listening to people talk bad about them cus they fat. #youshudbeashamedofyourself
- Shamiria Morten: buying cheap sneakers. You know why!
- BrickCityLeqend..: eating @Subway.. all that “eat fresh” bullshit is out the window..
This is a completely random survey. I just stopped counting after ten.
If Twitter trending topics are a kind of new competitive standup, they’re also part of a tradition that dates back to previous game shows. I can almost hear the slick announcer at the start of the round saying: “Survey says: things fat people hate doing.”
It’s also worth noting that publishing the above list was not as easy as copying and paste. It took a knowledge of grep, HTML and access to a semi-private publishing platform like WordPress to do.
In other words, there are some barriers to tapping the wealth of Twitter. But surely they will come down via a hundred start-ups soon.
