i've decided to look up all the twitter handles between "blink 1" and "blink 182". I will post anything weird I find here.
1 through 3 are accounts with zero tweets. @blink3 is only following the twitter account for macrumors.com.
blink4 is a japanese account that has not composed a tweet since july of 2012 but did come back last year to retweet this post
5 has never posted and 6 has posted only this. guy knows how to get in and out and I respect that.
7 is this woman, who assuming she never updated her bio is 28 now. I hope she's doing well.
"blink8" posted a few times in 2011, then went dark for six years, then retweeted some russian music videos and a post about light-up bowties in 2017.
9 has never posted anything but is apparently staunchly anti-smoking
11: some guy, zero posts
12: locked account, appears to be following noone
13: zero posts, followed only by the account "Terp4Life09415"
blink15's first and only manual post is this; the rest are "OMG... Banking on stocks!" followed by a dead url. nobody has ever interacted with any of them.
blink19 is this guy. his solitary follower is somehow the Liverpool Football Club
20 through 26 have collectively never posted, except for 25, who was suspended. we will never know why.
the first-and-only tweets of forgotten accounts are poetry to me. what did you mean by this, blink27? what did you know?
blink28 waited 7 months to post their first-and-only, which appears to be a misguided request for customer service
these are blink29's entire post history. artful.
30: display name is "Beth Linkous", which tracks
31: locked but appears to be a real person
32: a mom who was retweeting dog posts as recently as last year
33: only post is this
34: suspended
35: spent 2017 retweeting but never composed an original
36: nothing
37: following noone, but sweet profile pic of a field
38: joined in november, hasn't posted yet
39: most recent post is this URL from 2014 that I absolutely will not be visiting
40: joined on may 18, 2011. posted once that day, five times a week later, and then never again. tears in the rain.
we made it all the way to 41 before we found someone who appears to be aware of blink-182, or at least its former frontman
42: looks like a normal active account
43: mentions Angels & Airwaves in their bio but has never posted
44: nothing
45: very good avi tragically mangled by twitter's migration to circles
46: pretty active account from a guy with a cool scooter, abandoned in 2014
47, 48, 49, 50: nothing
51: no posts but from what I can tell must be a dutch teen
54 is a spam account apparently tagging random people but its first post is... something
starting to think the majority of accounts on here are people who posted exactly once in 2010 and then forgot this website exists. what a blissful life they must lead
58: nothing
59: has three tweets but the most recent one is tagging the account "onenippleman", which is pretty good
60, 61: nothing
62: locked account but has a cool desk
64: display name "wokeinok", looks like someone's conservative mom maybe?
69: disappointingly, just some kpop kid. has not posted since march.
72 apparently makes an amount of money from home that fluctuates wildly
73: woman who made a feeble attempt to promote her realty firm in 2011 and then walked away
76: posted what look like human-composed tweets pretty regularly for a couple years and then abruptly stopped after this one, which feels ominous
77: no posts but is followed by a verified editor at Business Today, so maybe they were friends

82: locked but has 100 followers, the most we've seen so far. possibly due to search typos
85: posted "HULK SMASH!!!!", then this great joke, then nothing else ever again
I have bad news for 86 regarding their single post
@blink90 is the only available handle I've run across so far. grab it if you want it I guess
I expected 91 to be something good, as it's half the famous band's number. there's no posts but it is following Gossip Girl
93's entire history. they seem cool
nothing from 94-99 but 100 is a staunch antifascist and I wish them the best
103 has never posted and is followed only by this account, which may be run by the same person. also I relate deeply to this, the final post on it
104: appears to have created an account to redeem coins in a mobile game by posting about it
105: suspended
106: two posts; one is a link to a minecraft server and the other is just a period
108's only two posts are incredible
111: display name is "bob ass"
112: looks like a gamer, abandoned since 2018
113: doing a bad job selling biomedical products by locking their account
114 through 119 are all suspended, except for 117; this is their only post
121's timeline is almost entirely announcements that they've entered a nintendo switch giveaway
124 does not seem to understand which app this is
again, there is somehow no prose more impactful than the first-and-only tweet of an account nobody has logged into for nine years
"blink128" is an abandoned account with two spam posts, a huge missed opportunity to cash in on search typos
129: single post is a link to Women's Health magazine
130: japanese account active as late as 2018
133: mexican formula one fan, no posts after 2015
137: locked, display name "Batman"
139: no posts, followed only by a poker website and a model
141: someone's liberal mom. the average politics of these accounts is trending left
144 posted this in 2009 and never returned. he must still be kickin ass
@blink150 is the second available handle we've found
152 posted an average of 3 tweets a year from 2009 to 2018. also evidence that their handle was blink-182 inspired, a surprising rarity so far
155 is the first post I've seen with replies, apparently from some guys who run a podcast about the band. the pod account has 2400 followers and I know some of them, so, that's a surprise
159 offers the Ravens some international support, or maybe criticism
@blink160 is another unused handle
163 is another account created to redeem mobile-game currency but ended their run with this
164: had some takes about the 2015 VMAs and then left
165: some guy, hasn't posted in a year
166: another kpop kid but they appear to actually live in korea so that's fine
169: locked but has an absolutely incredible header
170: all stats are zero, avi is... a naruto guy?
172 has tagged blink-182's bassist at least once but all the posts after that are links to dr. oz articles
173 appears to be a somewhat-undercover spam account but this post is good
174: offline since 2016
175: no posts, display name "israel"
176: lives in Hungary but is apparently a big New Orleans Pelicans fan
177: only post is in Korean but good avi
180's first-and-only post is a beauty
181: no posts, display name "John Smith"
and 182 is, of course, the famous band. thank you for joining me on this pointless journey and I encourage you to continue exploring for yourself.
I need to go to bed but there are, according to how numbers work, a possibly limitless number of blink accounts remaining. if you find anything wild please let me know
