There are only so many memes in this world. I love them just as much as the next guy, but you’ve got to admit, we need some different flavors of content every once and a while. A man who only looks at memes will soon find himself unable to communicate without referencing memes. You don’t want to be in a social situation where you’re explaining memes to people who are decidedly not online and failing to convey their natural comedic flow. That’s a recipe for disaster.

Tweets, on the other hand, are easy to pepper into casual conversation. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said, «Someone who is good at the economy, please help me budget this. My family is dying,» to bouts of uproarious applause. Sometimes, you don’t need the visual medium of memes to laugh. Sometimes, you just need text and a cute punchline courtesy of the X app.
