Describe the bug
Twitter is learning how to shitpost, and it's getting better and better- it takes brainrot memes, presents them to users and can somehow manipulate these users into creating more and more brainrot memes. The cycle is endless! We are rapidly approaching a shitpost singularity!

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Post a brainrot meme (true connoisseurs of brainrot shitposting prefer skibidon't toilet). Use an identifiable hashtag like "#shitpostsingularitygang"
  2. Repeat step 1 until the algorithm starts presenting your brainrot shitposts
  3. Watch as people begin doing the same
  4. Congrats, you have started a brainrot meme trend, now watch as "#shitpostsingularitygang" makes it to the trending tab
  5. The singularity is upon is

Expected behavior
Sane people would see your memes and just ignore them. The algorithm has trained people into agents to carry out its will, however, so they instinctively repost and create their own memes.

Screenshots
I have twitter.com set in my hosts file to resolve to 127.0.0.1, so I was unable to produce screenshots or actually use the platform (my source for this bug report was a dream I had last night)

Environment
Using arch btw

Additional context
All bow down to our shitpost algorithm overlords
