To the uninitiated, Twitter can be a bit of a mine field. It's where memes and news stories are often born and, in many ways, it's a language in and of itself. And then, of course, you've got the specific subculture that is Irish Twitter which is a whole other ball game.
We here at LADBible understand that it can be overwhelming trying to stay on top of a platform that feels like if you blink, you'll miss something crucial. That's why we've put together this nifty guide to the best of what's occurred on Irish Twitter this week - the funniest memes, the hottest takes and the moments that just made us say WT actual F.
So grab a cuppa, sit back and catch up on all the best tweets you might have missed this week, safe in the knowledge you can regurgitate them all to your friends as though they're your original thoughts in the coming week.

LOL - This week's funniest tweets
A watched kettle never boils but thankfully a tub of Cully & Sully tastes all the sweeter carefully observed in the microwave.
This week's edition is a little Paul Mescal heavy, we apologise, but the image of him dressed as Machine Gun Kelly is seared into our minds forever and now it must be seared into yours.
Let the record show, we think this is completely fair. This woman has our deepest sympathies.
How could this woman have predicted a mundane tweet about her new bed would inspire such comedic genius?
Let's all spare a few bob to keep this family on speaking terms this festive season.
Does this mean Joan Burton's thank u, next, is just around the corner?
This is a sickness in people from Dublin that cannot be cured, we're afraid. Sadly, even ageing doesn't help in our experience.
TBH - The tweets that made us go 'Hmm...'

How many people in our lovely capital can say the same thing as this Twitter user? Especially in a post-lockdown era, as more and more of the city's cultural hubs and nightlife venues close down, it's difficult for even the staunchest homebirds among us not to get itchy feet purely due to a lack of things to do.
If you asked us what we expected to see on Twitter when we logged in on Irish AIDs Day, a video of legendary former RTÉ News anchor Anne Doyle telling the nation they can 'f*ck without fear' wouldn't have been high on that list.
Doyle was helping to spread the all important message that a HIV positive person who is on effective treatment cannot pass it on to someone else. If a HIV positive person's treatment has made the virus undetectable in their body then they are also untransmittable - spread the word and, yes, do f*ck without fear.
It looks like it's time to once again consider what sized hut you could build in your parent's back garden.
WTF - An ode to the tweet we just didn't see coming

We admire the self-assurance of Ed from No. 44 - he sure as hell didn't deserve that.
