STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD

Okay, but this is genuinely adorable. I love how the first kid, after entering the number, was like “what do I do now?”. I bet the kid was trying to figure out where the “call” button was, because if you’re only used to cell phones, it’s not really intuitive that the call will automatically go through once you finish entering the phone number

These days, the concept of a dial tone is rather obsolete for a cellphone-centric world, so it isn't a surprise these girls are young enough to be unfamiliar with it or the hookswitch. Only place you see traditional telephones are in office buildings and older homes that still use it. When dial service was introduced, the Bell System had to put together instructional films to educate telephone users. So many people were used to being able to pick up and tell the operator who to call for them, so you had to suddenly learn where to find phone numbers. They didn't even have pushbuttons telephones yet, just rotary dial.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

You know how people buy boxes of ladybugs to release in their yard to get rid of aphids

Picture this: slew of missing people from all over the world, just vanishing in small groups. Serial killer ring, some say. Some kind of widespread natural disaster, say others. The statisticians shrug and point out that people go missing all the time and one expects peaks and troughs in random data. Sometimes a lot of people are going to go missing and it doesn't necessarily mean anything weird.

Everyone turns out to be wrong. It's alien abductions. Aliens are coming to Earth, pinking up random groups of humans and not bringing them back.

Turns out aliens are trying to settle a new planet and there's a problem with a bunch of prey animals breeding out of control and upsetting the ecosystem. They can't wipe them out wide scale without destroying complex environments, and the predators aren't keeping on top of them. "Hey," says some random bureaucrat who's had Project: Deal With The Alien Deer Issue dumped on their desk and hasn't taken an ecology class in four decades, "you know what species I hear are really, really good at clearing other animals out of the environment?"

‘Hey, what do we do if the population gets out of control?’ ‘It’s fine, we’ll import some of their natural predators from the same planet.’

What the fuck is this??????????

Folks: you CANNOT censor trigger tags. When you block a tag, it doesn't block other "spellings" of it. Writing it as "r@pe" or "r4p3" means that someone who has "tw rape" as a blocked tag will still see that post because you didn't wanna say the word rape. You are hurting people. Do not censor words, because people do not have those filtered out.

And honestly if you can't even write the word rape to protect other people then you probably aren't old/mature enough to be on this website.

Executive dysfunction is basically going “Okay one two three go. And now. Aaaaaaannnnnnnd we’re goinnnnng now.” for like three hours before the thing happens

And sometimes your brain just goes “fuck it, light cue two go” and you scramble up to do the thing right this second Or Else you face the wrath of the stage manager

twitter is going to be shut down. half of reddit is locked or completely unmoderated. the entire first page of google search results are ads. tumblr does not and will never have a functioning search system and their content moderation is 100% automated. youtube only shares ad revenue with people who make snuff films for Youtube Kids. facebook is selling your grandma’s social security number under the table for like $5. web 2.0 is completely dead right

early discussion notes:

1: y'all 'USB stick' truthers are gonna have to update your worldviews for the age of USB-C, you realize

2:

calling these second-grade-reading-level terms 'fancy words' is a pretty hard self-own dude

The differences are that the jumpdrive/thumbdrive/USB dongle goblin specifically refer to USB flash drives.

I want to take a dollar bill and write “are you Misha Collins” on it and maybe one day it’ll end up in his hands and he’d be the one mind fucked for once

the journey has begun…

DOING THIS ON EVERY DOLLAR I COME ACROSS

Like I said

It’s not illegal to deface American currency actually!!

It’s illegal to deface it in a manner that makes the money unusable (shredding/burning etc) but you can write stuff on money or draw a mustache on George Washington to your heart’s content.

When I worked at a bank I got all sorts of bills with weird shit on them, from “fuck trump” to “for a good time call”. They all went in the vault- still totally useable and therefore not illegal :)

It’s not illegal

to deface American

currency actually!!

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

i think a lot of the magic of this shithole website actually comes from the fact that the search feature is completely useless… like the fact that you quite literally cannot search for a post even if you type it in word for word means that all the classic, beloved, and infamous posts are these ephemeral things that only come around every so often and can only be found organically when they happen to make it to your dash like a flock of rare migratory birds

“When you need me, but do not want me, then I will stay. When you want me, but no longer need me, then I must go.” -Famous tumblr posts, actually

I find it so fucking cool that Sun-Spider went from being someone's spidersona that was submitted in a marvel contest to getting a speaking role in a multi million dollar film in only 3 years.

don't worry, all the abuse Odin put his kids through goes away because he had a throwaway line in thor 3 that he loved them and it magically fixed everything :)

It's just like Howard Stark fixed everything by saying that Tony was his greatest creation 👌👍
