Twitter is good for many good things, including breaking news and destroying your political career by accidentally tweeting photos of your junk. It is also great at keeping TV alive. After all, on Twitter UPN still exists and the Enterprise is still boldly going well into its season eight. But in the last 24 hours a new Twitter account has surfaced to put those classics to shame. Ever what would happen if Seinfeld were still on today? Yada, yada, yada, here you go.
The creation of BuzzFeed's sports editor Jack Moore and comedian Josh Gondelman the barely day-old feed is pure genius (and puts that Game of Thrones/Seinfeld mashup to shame). For example:
Jerry gets hooked on Game of Thrones. Dumps his girlfriend (Gillian Jacobs) because she likes Sansa. Kramer becomes addicted to Reddit.

Elaine pretends to live in Brooklyn to date a cute, younger guy. Kramer becomes addicted to 5 Hour Energy. George's parents get Skype.

Jerry breaks up with his girlfriend because she doesn't like Shake Shack custard. Kramer goes to Williamsburg, hates it.

Elaine joins JDate so she pretends to be Jewish. She meets an amazing guy who dumps her for being "too Jewy." George discovers falafel.

Elaine yells at her co-workers for loving Pinterest. Kramer becomes an @uber driver. George opens actual jerk store on Etsy.

"People always say that 'if they had cell phones Seinfeld couldn't exist,'" Moore told the Atlantic. "Which is true for a certain type of Seinfeld episode, but not as a general rule (which I think the account shows)." Indeed! Curb Your Enthusiasm's Seinfeld season already proved that that if Seinfeld wanted to come back for another season it could work. Now we actually kind of want it to?
