Write a Hook Tweet That Stops the Scroll

The first tweet decides whether anyone reads the rest. This gives you ten openers for one thread topic, each built on a different lever: a contrarian claim, a stat, an open loop, a confession. You pick the one that fits, instead of rewriting the same flat first line over and over.

Write 10 alternative hook tweets for the following thread topic: {THREAD_TOPIC}.

For each hook, apply a different psychological trigger from this list: bold contrarian claim, shocking statistic, relatable frustration, open loop question, "I used to think... until" reversal, numbered promise (e.g. '7 things'), personal confession, counterintuitive truth, authority signal, or vivid scenario.

Each hook must:
- Be under 280 characters
- Create a curiosity gap that compels reading on
- Avoid clickbait that doesn't pay off
- Avoid starting with "I" as the first word

After listing all 10, recommend the top 2 with a one-sentence reason for each. Target audience: {TARGET_AUDIENCE}.
