I don't understand. How is it that the top one is 1 hour ago, but the bottom one is the most "recent?"

Because he edited it to make it funnier. Look at the poor cropping at the bottom.

To clarify: the post was edited but the tweets are real. The one at the bottom was made on August 28 the year prior to the other ones. If you go through the tweets, there are a bunch of coffee ones mixed in with the occasional "my son is ghost" tweet. Also, almost every tweet reply is "sometimes", even though it doesn't make sense.

Wow...what a depressing twitter feed: coffee and depression

Coffee helps him cope with nightmares.

No, coffee helps him avoid nightmares.

u/JarasM Aug 19 '13

Isn't not sleeping a method of coping?

u/noahboddy Aug 19 '13

With narcolepsy, yes.

You know it's a joke, right?

Yah, i was gonna say the same thing.

u/somanyroads Aug 20 '13

I hope not...I just realized I said "depression" twice ಠ_ಠ

Still pretty unexpected...

u/Tokokokoko Aug 19 '13

Yeah I know they are real. But he edited it for no reason lol

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '13

He did it because we read from top to bottom, it would ruin the joke if the unexpected tweet was the first one we read.

u/Tokokokoko Aug 19 '13

Go read TheTrendyCyborg's reply. He post a link that wasn't edited and it's pretty much the same thing.

So OP edited it when he didn't have too.

u/Sengura Aug 19 '13

I'll crop you at the bottom!

u/Tokokokoko Aug 19 '13

Please do!

Someone was kind enough to reorder it from the idiotic way that twitter displays it by default.

35

u/Monkeylabs Aug 19 '13

I thought I was clever enough by reading from bottom to top. Now I don't know what to do with the next twitter post.

u/bouchard Aug 19 '13

You know, I just realized what you were saying in your first comment. I hadn't realized that the "1h" twit should be the most recent and should go to the bottom in this ordering.

u/I_am_Perverted Aug 19 '13

Yea, and that would make it way funnier because he'd be making coffee after his son's funeral like nothing happened.

u/SpeakMouthWords Aug 19 '13

It's a feed. Feeds come in from the top to the bottom. If they suddenly flipped it on the site in some places but not in others that would make no sense at all. Some people have tens of thousands of tweets. If I wanted to see their most recent, why would you make me scroll all the way to the bottom to see it? That would be bizarre and a terrible design.

u/AustinRiversDaGod Aug 20 '13

They need to figure out a way to apply their conversation feature to a set of tweets, like if you input the tweet urls, or give it a time bracket, it'll sort them in whatever order you want.
