People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

i don't remember ever questioning his size. WWF and arnold were so popular that it was normal to see huge, roided out dudes in pop culture.
andre the giant was just slightly bigger.
Arnold is 6'2" and was ~250 pounds in his peak body building days. Andre was 7'4" and ~500 pounds. There were lots of huge dudes at the time but Andre really was kind of in a league of his own.
