The red numbers show it chronologically. Twitter has replies and quote retweets. This began with the purple quote retweet. To which Lake Superior responded. Then in green I think this is a quote retweet (or more likely a screenshot) of the exchange. (I don’t think you can quote multiple posts so I think it’s a screenshot.)
The tweet at the top has the rest of them attached as a screenshot which does make it a bit confusing.
Lake Superior’s tweet (the “innermost” one) came first. Tom quote-retweeted it. Lake superior replied to Tom’s tweet. Ron took a screenshot of the whole exchange and posted it as his own tweet.
Sometimes it goes backwards. Next they are going to post everything sideways and the dates will be encoded in a base 12 abacus representation of the Vietnamese calendar.
What order of events was this conversation?? I never could get into tumblr/Twitter reply format I’m so confused. Who shot first
The timestamps should be a big clue. 3d, 1d, 9h, and the tweet at the top has no timestamp but from context it should be obvious that came last.
This is useful but to be candid I’m not looking at memes for intellectual stimulation so it’s more effort than I’d like.
I’m just glad I’m not the only one who wants to read from top to bottom like a fucking normal person.
I just want to roll the whole internet back by about 20 years.

it’s 3241 but you made me realized how chronically online i am for knowing this intuitively without needing to be told or think about it
so, thanks 😅
I think it goes:
Quoted tweet > Tom > Lake Superior reply > OP
