Dorsey, Twitter's CEO, seemed to be loving every minute of it, and gained viral attention for liking all the shady jokes targeting Facebook and the epic outage.

"How much?" the multi-billionaire tech giant responded, raking in over 80,000 likes.

From Usain Bolt to Mr. Bean, memes about Twitter's superiority came flooding in, and people realized that the legendary CEO was taking the time to like the funny memes one by one. Jack even ventured away from the picture format, showing love for some comedic twists on the situation as well. "Excited for my first day as head software engineer at facebook inc. now to sit down and get starte-," one of the liked tweets read. Edward Snowden, President of Freedom of the Press, also jumped in with his take, which earned a like from the CEO, writing, "Facebook and Instagram go mysteriously offline and, for one shining day, the world becomes a healthier place."

It was clear that Twitter came out of this situation on top, and while billions of social media users were frustrated about the malfunction, Twitter -especially Jack Dorsey - provided some much-needed laughter throughout the blackout. All that was missing were some replies from rival CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.
Well, rest assured, you can mark yourselves 'safe' as our beloved platforms are back up and running, and the memes are just getting better and better.
