I personally have the trends country set to one that doesn't usually have a very big (or any) presence on Twitter (e.g. British Indian Ocean Territory, Falkland Islands, ...). This makes the "Trends for you" part of the page empty.

Thanks for this hack. I found it hilarious (and useful).

Great tip! Surprisingly awkward to do, but well worth it.

That's amazing. I picked the country Chad and I see no trends at all! With word and account blocking, I get good control over what I see, even in the official Twitter app. (A good number of the control methods, like disabling like numbers, are only available via browser extension.)

I wonder if it'll start filling up if enough users do this

[jaywalk]

No, that's not how it works. The only way it would start getting content is if users actually started tweeting from those remote locations, which seems unlikely.

brilliant - thanks
