People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement (see rule 6)

Option 1: Tell them you did it to waste their time. Outcome: You've wasted their time, and you caught a charge for wasting police time, obstruction, or whatever it is they call it there for your trouble.
Option 2: Plead ignorance. Outcome: You've wasted exactly the same amount of their time, plus you lied to the police, and you've faced no consequences for it.
Picking option 1 isn't brave, it's just stupid.
