TIL that in 1903 the New York Times predicted that building a flying machine would be possible in 1-10 Million years.

To understand how ridiculous this is, the first successful powered airplane flew this same year, 1903

You’re understating how ridiculous

it wasn’t just the same year. it was nine days later

how do newspaper clippings from a hundred years ago violate community guidelines

to fly is to go against the will of god

I love seeing posts where someone says something that clearly sets up a joke and then has very obviously messaged their friend to question it in a reblog so they deliver the punchline with maximum impact. Haven't seen that in a while

tumblr comedy I haven’t seen in a while and I kind of miss: when someone says like ‘smoothies are great’ and then someone else says ‘juices are great too!’ and the first person says ‘make your own post’ and then the second person says ‘okay’ and then you scroll down and theres a second post.

i just had an experience i dont think anyone else on earth has ever had before where i saw a tumblr ad and thought “wow that seems interesting i want to check that out” (it was an ad for a new method of learning to speak welsh) and for the first time in human history i actually intentionally clicked on an ad on tumblr to see more information about a product and the fucking link it had embedded was broken and didnt work

you: oh cool I’m interested, where does this link go?

tumblr ad: 

The likelihood of that happening is zero as it was 4 years ago 🤣🤣🤣 (x)

Percy: *gets with Annabeth*

Nico:

mom, dad, these are my newborn twins. their names are mom and dad. i named them after you. what do you mean ‘mom’ and ‘dad’ aren’t your real names? what the hell? i already named these kids thanks for telling me now

Financially?

“how long you gonna be petty for?”

me:

I'm not a Christian, but this is hilarious to me because my conservative Christian mother spent most of Obama's first term calling him the antichrist based on nothing but him being a charismatic black democrat

tru*p being the antichrist was not the hot take I expected today, but I'm not surprised it's the hot take I get
