22 People Who Tweeted Something And Pretty Much Immediately Regretted It

In case you didn't know, X (formerly known as Twitter) has a feature where users can add a "community note" underneath posts as a way to fact-check or provide more context. Users can then vote on whether the note was helpful or not. This has led to some verrrrrry satisfying situations where people who are used to getting away with tweeting whatever they want get a nice, permanent note attached to their tweet explaining that they're wrong. Here are some of the best examples of that:

1.And it wasn't a particularly long one, either:

"The soldiers of the Confederate States of America fought one war, and lost that war"

2.I like that the notes could've gone scientific here, but instead chose to hit this Christian YouTuber where it hurts:

"Jesus turned water into wine"

3.Yes:

"Cloud."

4.Ç'est Français:

8.Seriously, it happens a lot:

9.It's also fun when conservative pundits like Charlie Kirk don't watch the whole video:

"the video doesn't show the finished work..."

10.Y'know, I was thinking the same thing:

"That's just a bus"
u/miciy5 / Via reddit.com

11.Yeah, we need that stuff:

"All life on earth would cease to exist without mRNA"
u/NeverEndingWalker64 / Via reddit.com

12.A fun reminder to always check who's talking:

15.Ah yes, a scaremongering rumor as old as time:

"The reason is because women naturally have leg hair."
u/MelanieWalmartinez / Via reddit.com

20.To be fair, it might have been 23,000 real people who just didn't bother to watch the video:

"This video doesn't have sound."
u/Memento-Bruh / Via reddit.com

21.Crunchy:

"That is a picture of a walnut"
u/LA_Vines / Via reddit.com

22.And finally, just for fun, here's George Santos not realizing that community notes are from, y'know, the community:

"They are in fact after Representative Santos, who is accused of stealing money from his donors, among other offenses."

"Community Notes are, as the name suggests, posted by users of the X community..."
