If you're missing a truly idiotic take on Orwell, and would like it topped off with a quote from an awful Douglas Adams book (and I say that as a huge Hitchhiker's fan), that the tweeter can't even be bothered to get close to right then, man, is this the thread for you.https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1290034984871321600 …

That's the joke, that he's describing sharing a packet of biscuits with another guy in total silence as a great battle Biting into it deliberately and slowly so the other guy can see him doing it "When I eat a biscuit, it stays eaten"

That's why Adams' telling of it is so funny and the various Internet copies of the story are generally not, because it's not just about him fuming with rage, it's all told in this ironic tone where he's talking up what a badass he's being, refusing to back down, holding the line
