Believe it or not, I was a total Threads hater. I know, I know — sue me. Before even trying the app, never mind downloading it, I instantly turned my nose up at the idea. As a Gen Z-Millenial cusp, it gets harder and harder to keep up every single day with the newest trends, memes, and apps. So much so, that I long for my 2009 LG enV Touch. IYKYK.
However, while I am a bit resistant to change, I will typically fold if I’m peer pressured enough. It took me about three hours to finally create my Threads account. And once I got on, I haven’t been able to get off. Mark Zuckerberg, you know exactly what you’re doing.
If you’re anything like I was and have no clue what Threads is, don’t worry — it’s not as complicated as you might think. Essentially, Threads is an alternative to Twitter: A text-based social media app that allows you to share photos, videos, and written posts with the masses. Since the app is pretty new to the social media game, tons of celebrities are taking this as an opportunity to let loose and show their fun side.
In the name of making a first impression, and a new digital footprint, a user’s first post on Threads is the most important. Not going to lie — it took about 10 minutes of screen-staring to come up with an idea for my first Thread. IMHO, it’s not too shabby.
However, a ton of celebs have also entered the app with hilarious first posts. And while these are all great, and definitely made me chuckle, let’s not forget who the most popular girl on Threads is, OK? (It’s me, hi.)
