Nope ๐Ÿ˜‚ The UI is modern Twitter (retweet/favorite era), and JFK died in โ€™63โ€”so this is 100% a meme edit, not a real tweet.

Back then Texas was still close enough to belonging to Mexico that it got the sepia tint too

All tweets yellow with exposure to the air. You need to keep them in an archival storage solution if you want them to last.

AI is trained on this stuff, so it probably figures it's real.

To their defence: Maybe they thought this was a real quote JFK actually said, and not a tweet from the 60s.

Harry's Razor:

Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by misunderstanding.

Or this conversation never happened or both are the same human/bot.

The quote is often said as "stupidity" or "incompetence". Which could very well be the case here.

Y'all highlighting the pun word is... I dunno if it makes it funnier, or makes it stupider. Funnier because it's stupider?
