Received a notification from google that an email I didn't recognize was going to be deleted if I didn't login. Figured out a way to get into it and found it was linked to a single twitter account called Giggle Snarf.

It turned out that was the very first twitter bot I built back in 2015. It looks like it was pulling some awful memes from somewhere and posting regular weather updates. Unfortunately, this was about 2 months before my first blog post so I have no other information, but wild nonetheless.
