Surprise – New Yorkers and other East Coast residents appear to drop F-bombs on Twitter more than their fellow twits in other countries, a new, real-time interactive map suggests.
Www.fbomb.co, created by brainy Carleton University junior Martin Gingras, can tell you where in the world F-bombs are being dropped – and what users are tweeting about.
Wednesday about 9:25 a.m., for example, the map shows a heavy concentration of F-bomb-loaded tweets emanating from the East Coast, marked on the map by cartoon images of tiny explosions and signs with a falling bomb on them.
If you click on the sign, you can read the actual tweet, for better or, in most cases, worse.
@allliebentley tweeted: “ To the little f–k who almost took me out with his backpack in the hallway before… , ” while @sammychinigo123 sagely asked: “How the f–k did I just get all of that work done.”
Then there’s @__NeeWATKiNS, whose tweet seemed to sum up the general anger among F-bombers on Twitter Wednesday morning: “If yu’on like what i’m doin’ they F–K YALL “
The ingenious map by the Canadian college student shows, predictably enough, that most F-bombs come from English-speaking countries like the US and UK.
