Edward Snowden, and a string of other famous faces, were randomly added to a Twitter DM chat with a bunch of teenagers, and the conversation went hilariously.
As reported by Distractify, Snowden, along with football coach Les Miles, Robert James Hamilton, and writer Dave Lozo were all included and probably pretty confused.
Lozo, who gained permission to take screenshots, was mightily intrigued at the prospect of gaining some genuine tween insight.
I don’t know why but teens have added me to a 30-person DM list so I’m trying to stay involved pic.twitter.com/dTdCvBAEZ1

His Twitter name, Davril Lavignezo, somewhat sidetracked the conversation, however.
Now they are talking about how Avril Lavigne is really dead and she has body doubles. What a time to be alive.

It was an opportunity he could not let pass by, so he set about asking the big questions…
I’m learning so much from my new friends pic.twitter.com/fr14UXt0fq

Bad news for Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift it seems.
There were other concerns Lozo wanted the girls to weigh in on too.
Tweens know good TV though so I feel good about the future pic.twitter.com/3OEtM9ddew

He then started to educate them on who they had invited to chat.

But he didn’t want to be the only big name to speak.
Edward Snowden is on this thread but hasn’t said anything yet. @Snowden get in there we are talking about Friends and Taylor Swift.

The tweens were more than a little lost when it came to identifying the former intelligence agent.

But he soon found the courage speak out once more.
Welp, @Snowden has joined the teen chat and is asking questions now. What a world. pic.twitter.com/uPCCRMKTnZ

Before tactfully explaining why his presence was not at all advised.
So @Snowden bailed for the good of our privacy but ducked the hard question about Friends. pic.twitter.com/0GKLrx9n1l

Snowden signed off with this bombshell:
Hahaha. You guys are the best, but yeah. The FBI does have a warrant on me, so you might not want to include me in your DMs unless you want them to have copies of them. Stay free out there.
Yeah, probably for the best.
