IDK if a joke, but it's a reference to the gunpowder plot.

Maybe the comments here are, but the original tweet has literally zero reference to it. There is no joke in the original tweet, just pearl clutching.

It's the title of the post? The fifth of November is Guy Fawkes day, Gunpowder Plot.

Ah yea, missed the post title. My bad.

Yeah, that's what I originally assumed, but their response didn't make sense.
