Are straight people okay? Stay tuned.
This is a (currently twitter-only) bot that listens for anybody asking if straight people are okay, and responds with the only logical conclusion. There's some allowance for different spellings and an option to add an extra word between "straight" and "okay", e.g. "are straight people doing okay?". There could definitely be some more sophisticated regexing going on here. It will also probably retweet @mentions that say some variation on "straight" or "people" (e.g. "str8" will work, as will "ppl" or "peeps").
To use this bot, you will need to:
- make an API key on dev.twitter.com
- plug the keys into a
.envfile on your computer (or use another method of setting environment variables) - decide whether you want to continually run it
- if not, you can run it from your computer
- if yes, you'll probably want to throw it up on something that's always connected to the internet, be that a vps, heroku, local raspberry pi, whatever
