10/9/2017: japanese trends
I decide to mess around and change my Twitter trends location from "United States" to some random city in Japan. Literally, within a few minutes, this tweet shows up on my feed:
No, The Onion does not, nor does anyone else have the ability to tailor tweets for users based on the country they’ve set in “Trends”. Things like that only exist for advertisements, which do not even appear on Twitter for me because I use an ad blocker.
The Onion is just suddenly posting something showing a FUCKING JAPANESE FLAG, because my reality responds to my thoughts and actions. It's like clockwork.
