A series of tweets from Richard Strocher claiming to hear people (specifically mentioning Yiddish and Jews) under his ground-level, basement-less New York apartment, followed by insistent denials of being crazy and demands for apologies.
Overview
The image is a screenshot of two tweet threads from a user named Richard Strocher. The first thread, dated December 11, 2023, includes a tweet where he claims, "I swear I keep hearing yiddish under the floor in my NY apartment. (I live at ground level and we have no basement)," followed by a later tweet (posted 6 hours prior to the screenshot) stating, "some of you owe me an apology." The second thread, from November 7, 2023, features a tweet asserting, "There are Jews living under my apartment. I hear them its like they are digging or something. For the record: I live at ground level and we do NOT have a basement!!," followed by another tweet (also 6 hours prior) declaring, "I AM NOT CRAZY." Engagement metrics such as views, likes, and reposts are visible below each tweet. The humor arises from the absurdity of hearing people under a basement-less ground-floor apartment and Strocher's insistent, defensive denial of being crazy.
