On Tuesday,Discuss Section Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced the platform's new 280-character limit for tweets just as you'd expect--in a 280-character tweet.

But could he have made the same announcement in 140?

From the looks of Twitter right now, a lot of people think so. In fact, a few users have taken out their virtual red pens and edited Dorsey's tweet down.

PhD student Brian Barone managed to whittle it down to 179 characters (39 characters above the 140-character limit).

And Caitlin Kelly, an editor at VICE,took it even lower: 139 characters.

Sure enough, Dorsey's message is preserved in both cases. Yes, he almost definitely padded the original tweet to ~celebrate~ Twitter's new rules, but ... whatever. The whole thing is still extremely funny.

In all fairness, Dorsey seems to get the critiques. "I'm still getting used to it," he tweeted.

Jack, my dude: we're still getting used to it too. Please give us a little more time to do so before rolling this out to Trump.
