If you’re stranded on a desert island with a rapidly dying cell phone, probably the last thing you’re going to worry about is sending a tweet. Obviously, with gorgeous views like that, it’s better to go with Instagram.
Still, Twitter wanted to know what you would tweet if you decided to use your final 5% on its platform.

And boy did people have thoughts.
Some of them chose not to really get into the spirit of things.

Although others had more interesting ways to get rescued.
"Beyoncé is bad and not good." And then I'd turn my location on because that would ensure an entire army of people come find me at which point I can explain the reasoning for my tweet and that actually I think Beyoncé is good then we will do the single ladies dance then go home. https://t.co/a9GiPQ81Vy

Nicolas Cage was robbed of another Oscar award when he wasn’t nominated for Best Actor in the movie Face/Off. There are plenty of reasons to show why this one was one of the most impressive acting performances of all-time & I’d like to list why this is the case in a thread (1/94) https://t.co/s0siYFr3lj

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence.

Naturally, there was a lot of complaining about Twitter, including a lot of calls to get Nazis off the platform.

It's a shame how fast Twitter is banning marginalized people especially women who are targeted by racism on this very platform. https://t.co/gwrGLGHE7f

There was also a fairly large number of people who decided that being stranded on a desert island afforded them the perfect opportunity to be racist, but we’ll spare you those tweets. Besides, a quick look through their feeds revealed that they also had no problem being racist at home with a full battery charge.
We’ll leave you instead with someone who tweeted the meme that will never die. It’s a safe bet that, no matter how long you’re stranded on that island, when you get back, the Distracted Boyfriend will be here waiting for you.
