People wondering what Twitter would have been like in the Ancient times, and honestly?? Why not?? I want infinite records of how drama folded just because someone made a dumb statement.

My favourite arcs might be the Early Christian Infighting Saga. I mean, it has everything you want: Different Opinions, Cancellations, Blocks, Out of Context Quotes, Memes, Trolling, etc.

Can you imagine the hours of discourse compiled if Twitter had existed at that time?

NORMAL TWITTER INTERACTION (Circa. 1st CENTURY AD.)

@El-boy-Zar(Revolution Now🏹#FreeBarabbas): Is this Yeshua guy starting the revolution?, he said that the temple should be destroyed, IDK. Just in case, I am already on my way to the temple ahead of time to make his words reality.

@MiriamOfTyre-os⛵: Most intelligent Zealot.

@GovJPontiusPilateOfficial: Ratio lol.

Gulliver's Travels is crazy from his wife's perspective. Imagine your husband goes to sea and then you hear that something went wrong and that he died at sea and you're really sad and grieved but then over a year later he comes back and obviously you're extremely happy but then barely a few months later he leave again.

And then once again something goes wrong and you're told that he died and now you're sad but also kinda hopeful that it will be like last time and sure enough a few years later he comes back. But then for some fucking reason he decides to LEAVE AGAIN and then SOMETHING GOES WRONG AGAIN and he goes missing AGAIN!

And now you're like "wtf is even going on eith my husband and then he comes back several years later but he thinks he's a horse snd he hates people now and he hates you cause you're not a horse and he spends all his time chilling in the boxes with horses and he even talks like a horse.

Like what the fuck kinda life is that?!
