This weekend brought good news to people across the country in the form of $1,400 direct deposits, sending the rest of us racing to our bank accounts to monitor for signs of life.
And what could herald the arrival of stimulus checks better than some A+ stimmy tweets?
In a time otherwise burdened by unemployment, eviction and great financial hardship, the tweets emphasized delightful fantasies of big spending.
They coalesced around a particular form, offering up some truly top-flight requests. Here’s one example from @GayvidDowdle:
“Direct deposit: $1400
Me, in burger king: I’d like to speak to the king.”
@jamieingreenbay took a cue from Ron Swanson in “Parks and Recreation”:
“Direct Deposit: $1400
Me: Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.”
@charliedayz went with Stanley Hudson from “The Office,” from a scene where Hudson asks a waiter for a side of lobster with his surf ‘n turf order. The waiter notes that the meal already comes with lobster.
“Not enough lobster,” Hudson says. “Side order.”
Some tweets mused that stimulus recipients would leave their dental needs unmet and bills unpaid so they could live a little. After all, it has been 12 months of ... pandemic. Why not buy out the whole store ... or its calling card?
How did @DrewSkywalker want to use the $1,400?
Asking for the “large kickballs outside” Target.
@stayfrea_ had an idea of how to approach Red Lobster, stimmy in hand:
“uhh Let me get the whale.”
For @soupinhercan, it was all about Chuck E. Cheese:
”Fetch me the rat.”
Others looked on longingly as people celebrated the stimulus drop, waiting for their direct deposits to arrive.
After Wells Fargo tweeted that customers eligible for the stimulus “may expect it as soon as March 17, 2021,” people cried foul for having to wait several more days, sending the bank into the trends.
