For clarification. This is a mashup parody of two viral tweets. The first (the screenshot of my old tweet parodies this), and the second (the quote tweet text parodies this): https://hell.twtr.plus/media/cdea74bdf13751651b6e603f165873cf901d65bd08b3556c5ae53964e550f40c.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/a1d9d6def840770477cf39d5e21f22295e7a45f3551137629255914a52af5d17.file
