i like stuff

One time I shared a post that contained (unbeknownst to me) incorrect information about how big anglerfish are and people sent me anon hate about it for years and accused me of being the center of a conspiracy to spread fish-based misinformation, I would occasionally get messages in my inbox out of the blue like "You're a terrible person for telling lies about fish and I hope you die," and I think that that more than anything else is the real Tumblr Dot Com experience

Anyway anglerfish are fucking huge. They're born the size of a Ford F250 and grow up to be six times taller than God.

I didn’t know that polished malachite didn’t react to water and when I saw a bathroom with a bunch of malachite in it I was like Holy Shit What A Bad Idea

And I got several messages telling me I was what was wrong with both tumblr and America and I should die

Anyway I don’t talk much on this site anymore

Very on brand for Tumblr to think "misinformation" means "being wrong about inconsequential trivia"

Btw I saw an anglerfish on my way to work earlier and that bitch was at least 500 apples tall

My best friend is an anglerfish, so I personally can confirm, at least 10,000 apples tall. 

Damn that's like 2,000 Hello Kitties

#female anglerfish typically grow to be around a foot long but can be up 3 feet and some inches long#male anglerfish are usually around an inch long#I have to use my degree somehow lol

That's a common misconception but actually the male anglerfish is roughly 30,000 stadii in circumference

Anglerfish are also actually very very small, they can fit inside a single human cell and swim through your bones

Also their skin has the same texture as a basketball

The average anglerfish is the size of Neptune actually.

Well, who's to say how big a Neptune is? It's got to be at least a few dozen beach balls

Guess what I watched and cried about.

Shrek has a very special place among my childhood favorites and Puss in boots is one of my earliest cartoon crushes, so I already decided I would love this movie even before watching it- BUT DREAMWORKS DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THIS HARD ON A 11 YEAR LATE SEQUEL THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD

THE ANIMATION STYLE, EVERY CHARACTER, THE FIGHT SCENES, THE WHOLE STORY, THE ENDING WAS PERFECT.. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT

Seriously, Death was the best and the SCARIEST villain I've seen in a while, AND he is in a animated movie for kids full of fairy tale parodies.

Now I need to see their wedding ...why are cats so hard to draw

i spent an insane amount of time trying to make that gif on my phone lmao please validate me 🥲

Reminder from O’Malley

You know that study that found when doing a blind taste test the majority of people prefer pepsi over coca cola so coke changed their recipe to taste more like pepsi, and people actually liked the new coke a lot less because the people who were buying coke didn't want it to taste like pepsi they wanted their coke to taste like coke. That's what a lot of the new changes tumblr is working on feel like.

tumblr in 2020:

the thing is this dashboard change isnt the end of the world ill get used to it whatever im just fucking dying of embarrassment that its supposed to look like twitter

twitter gets run over by a bus and the next day tumblr comes 2 school wearing her clothes like. oh my god come on

You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.

Dogs.

I don’t even have to do this one because PETA did it first by insinuating domestication is inherently abusive.

The sky

Used to trick and mock anyone who asks “what’s up?” A bullying tactic.

Super Mario Bros.

Stereotypes Italians, enforces the narrative of women who need men to rescue them, and encourages violence against turtles.

John Mulaney

He was over on the bench and he SAW what they did to Tyler and he did NOTHING.

Omfg

Pokemon

Making your pets fight repeatedly is animal abuse.

OP

OP literally argued that dogs were problematic but go off I guess

This is a work of art and should be sent to everyone as soon as they sign up for Tumblr so they know what they’re walking into

Some people have asked me if I can publish my mapmaking tools. So I developed a software. 🙂

Here is the result:

I STEPPED OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT DOOR OF MY OWN HOME ONLY TO FIND THE DEER THAT TRIED TO KICK MY ASS LAST YEAR STANDING RIGHT THERE IN MY FRONT YARD. BOLD AS BRASS.

AM I NOT SAFE ANYWHERE ANYMORE

for those of you who were not here last year: this deer is the most obnoxious, unnatural red-orange color I’ve ever seen, only appears when it’s raining, and once chased me a quarter mile through the woods. her name is Hot Cheeto Hatred and she is my nemesis

dude, i think that’s a fairy

Water Snake from Team Fortress 2

this isn’t low poly

Isn't this the highest poly model in the entire game?

yes it is by miles

It feels taboo as a childfree person to admit this but I actually do have concerns about who is going to take care of me when I'm old. The elder care system in our nation relies A LOT on the unpaid care labor of adult children. I just don't think that's a good reason to have kids.

"But you'll have more money!" does not completely put this to rest for me. Neither does "Buy care insurance!" Even if I can afford direct personal care, who is going to advocate for me to get it? Who is going to navigate bureaucracy for me when I'm 80?

"If you do have kids, there's no GUARANTEE that they'll take care of you when your old!" That's true, but doesn't solve my problem.

I think childfree people get very defensive about this question because its used as a kind of "gotcha!" against us, but I actually do not feel we can afford to be in denial about this reality. Based on current trends of more people in their 30s stating they intend to be permanently childfree, we are going to see a huge wave of childfree adults hitting the eldercare system at once in a few decades. Childfree people in their 30s should be advocating around eldercare NOW.

as well as disability justice, since this affects people of every age who are disabled if they don't happen to have family who can do things for them

No bro this is my only lifebar, trust me, I can explain

oh yeah? then what are all those squares underneath it?

Bro it’s Braille because I’m an inclusive boss fight, bro, believe me, ignore the new background music which is an orchestral mix of both of our leitmotifs bro listen

@comicaurora genuine question here how long do you think we can keep this up

hey I'm just as mystified as the rest of you

the soundwave fans are truly formidable and I doubt they can be bested in honorable combat but I wish they were less mean about my boy

I don't know what you guys were expecting, the Transformers franchise has been around literally ten times longer than mine

yea I'm sure he'll be fine
