Autocorrect is a strange bit of coding built into just about every decide we use now. It’s meant to catch when we make little mistakes and use context clues to guess at what it was we meant to say.

But sometimes the clues it’s pulling don’t seem to have much to do with the rest of the text, or even the conversation, but perhaps some deeper part of ourselves. Is this program tapping into our subconscious to reveal our own thoughts to us?

Or is it just, yanno, programmed kinda bad?

Examine these Tweets and decide for yourself.
