🔥🔥🔥 Hype Level 3How to use one-liners
- Don't stack them. One one-liner is great. Four one-liners in a row is annoying. Pick the best one and send it solo.
- No build-up. One-liners work because they're standalone. Don't preface with "Hey just wanted to say." Just say it.
- Period > exclamation point. "You're the GOAT." reads more confident than "You're the GOAT!!" Periods feel intentional. Exclamation points feel like trying too hard.
- Read it out loud first. If a one-liner sounds awkward when spoken, it'll read awkward in text. The good ones flow naturally either way.
