Tweact.com: ¡uʍop ǝpısdn sǝʇıɹʍ ʇı


Tweact.com: ¡uʍop ǝpısdn sǝʇıɹʍ ʇı

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to publish this as I thought writing upside down was, like, sooo ‘2007’.

But my friends told me it was new to them. So after I told them I never wanted to see them again (how unhip!) I figured that maybe it is new to some of our readers too. So here we go, you have been warned, I present to you: Tweact.com.

The thing that Tweact does is replace each character you type with a similar character that looks like your original character upside down. So if you type ‘b’ they replace it with a ‘p’.

And some characters are just readily available upside down in your basic fonts. Here is the whole upsidedown alphabet for you so you don’t need Tweact anymore:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

ɐqɔpǝɟƃɥıɾʞןɯuodbɹsʇnʌʍxʎz

If you don’t look forward to copy-pasting all those little characters you can just rush over to Tweact and surprise your friends with Tweets like this:

But do the world, and your friends, a huge favor: don’t annoy them with this. Just test it, leave a few upsidedown comments here (include ‘lol’ or ‘lmao’ where appropriate please) and move on. Can you resist it?
