Celebrity Twitter accounts are not often all that exciting. A fan retweet here. A plug for their new album or movie there. We get it, you're famous.

Sometimes, though, the world's elite hits us with a deep moment of clarity — an unexpected 140-character hit of pure truth. They tweet something simple, yet deep. It's like sitting in a coffee shop with your friend who says something so profound, you're left picking up pieces of your brain from the floor.

Ahead, 30 times celebrities straight-up blew our minds on Twitter. No shade here. This is all pure genius.

Ellen's right. We're not fully appreciating what an amazing accomplishment it is that our phones handle daylight savings time for us. This also bolsters Ellen Page's claims that computers are, in fact, crazy.
