Your social media levity for the dark days of winter

Carrot Facts, @RealCarrotFacts

Carrot Facts, @RealCarrotFacts

The science behind Carrot Facts is dubious, but the humor is real. It’s clear the person behind this account has a certain passion for carrots (and also some lingering feelings for someone named Megan).

AntiComedian, @jokesisntfunny

Finally, a buzzkill on the internet. You’ll dig this account if you’re into poking holes in other people’s fun and complaining about it online.

Emergency Kittens, @EmrgencyKittens

Emergency Kittens, @EmrgencyKittens

This is the internet, after all. Get your fix of small furry kittens, whenever you need it. High point: Any pic of a kitten wearing a bow tie.

Faces in Things, @FacesPics

Faces in Things, @FacesPics

They (whoever that is) say humans have a tendency to see faces in things. This Twitter account posts pictures of the surprising places where eyes, noses, and mouths, turn up — like on the sides of buildings, or in fruit.

Coffee Dad, @Coffee_Dad

Coffee Dad, @Coffee_Dad

Coffee Dad is so single-minded. He also has no idea how to use a hashtag. That doesn’t seem to matter, though, as even his most basic tweets (“making coffee”) rack up thousands of favorites and retweets.

Tilda Swinton, @NotTildaSwinton

Tilda Swinton, @NotTildaSwinton

Bizarre, oddly poetic, this parody account for the ethereal actress is a fascinating collection of head-scratching tweets.

​Animal Mashups, @AnimalMashups

What could be more delightful than a hummingbird with the head of an alligator? Perhaps, a cat fused with a penguin. Animal Mashups has all these and more.

LA Scanner, @LAScanner

LA Scanner, @LAScanner

Every night, #ScannerOn means weirdly clever tweets about criminal activity in the Los Angeles area. Check out the one above from early morning on Christmas Day 2012.

Preschool Gems, @PreschoolGems

Preschool Gems, @PreschoolGems

You can count on little kids to be sweet, funny, weird, and unintentionally profound (“I’m not broken, I’m a human.”). Preschool Gems corral the best bits of insight from the under-five crowd.

Bored Elon Musk, @BoredElonMusk

Bored Elon Musk, @BoredElonMusk

Must be nice to have all that excess brain energy. Some of Bored Elon‘s idea are wacky, like pillows made of Bioru00e8 strips (also, gross) and others are actually pretty sharp, like headphones that turn down their own volume when they sense someone walk up behind you.

    Quality assurance refers to the processes being used to manage the project and to build the deliverables.
