About
Anything Bot is a Twitter gimmick account that posts a randomly generated combination of a caption describing a certain event and one or more images every 30 minutes. The images are picked from a pool of notable people and characters, while the captions often utilize well-known snowclones and catchphrases, resulting in the bot often generating entertaining memes, similar to ShitpostBot 5000.
History
On August 29th, 2021, Twitter[1] user @whitneywf launched Anything Bot (@TheAnything_Bot), a gimmick account automatically generating random tweets from a pool of available character images and captions. On the same day, the account made its first several tweets,[2] with a tweet[3] about Beavis and Butt-Head gaining over 260 retweets and 1,800 likes (shown below, right).

The gimmick account again reached a viral status in March 2022 after a high engagement tweet[6] about Princess Peach starting an OnlyFans account gained over 6,800 retweets and 83,700 likes in three months (shown below, left).
