If nothing else, Twitter is like a question-answering service. Like Google, but worse. More like Ask Jeeves, but with a bunch of people who find themselves funny. Like if you Ask Jeeves’d a sorta-joking question and a bunch of anonymous people gave you answers.
Recently, 18-year-old Aimee took to this Ask Jeeves of the year 2017 to ask a question many of us have wondered often but never hard enough to actually Google.

Ok, you’ve got a point there. A valid point. But it’s nowhere near as accurate as this gem:
I MEAN! Taylor’s response racked up over 370,000 likes and 120,000 retweets, prompting some to contribute their own name for this ceiling handle which has been around for god knows how long but for some reason is only now being questioned:
Oh shit bar
