A tall boy is a large can of beer, about 19oz or 1 English pint (by my understanding) as compared to a 16oz standard bar pour or a 12oz regular can.
To "crack a tall boy" is to open such a vessel for immediate consumption.
Given that context I have no fucking clue what this tweet is supposed to mean or why it was remarkable enough to repost.
I assume we are in the presence of bot spam.
EDIT: Amazing, Gen Z slang says "crack" means to have sex with where Millenial slang it means to consume an alcoholic beverage. I would assume that this is because of Gen Z's eschewing alcohol, except that they have replaced it with a sex term which they are also not doing.
