i know 196 is a reddit thing but like. what does it mean. what do those numbers represent
r/196 is (was?) the successor subreddit to r/195.
r/195 was just a place for some roomates to post memes, and it was named after their apartment number. There was only one rule: if you visit the sub, you must make a post before leaving. The sub eventually grew in popularity, the original members couldn't keep up with the demands of moderating it, and they closed it down. Soon after, r/196 was born and eventually far outgrew its progenitor.
r/196 also kind of just organically grew into a left-leaning, LGBTQ+ positive space. This was possibly helped because at the start, the only available user flair (a little phrase or icon that appears by your username on posts and comments) was "trans rights".
oh my god the king of norway from 1046 to 1066 harald iii aka hardrada hi thank you so much welcome to tumblr in the year 2023
Thank you, my thane, for the kind welcome! If only the rest of my subjects were as loyal as lathiat! Truly all that other vikings know today is how to polish their armor and drink mead. They can't even navigate by the stars or raid a monastary!
hahaha! *quickly glances at harald iii of norway's wiki*
couldnt be me! im extremely loyal and i love invading places for my king! *wipes sweat from my forehead*
there is a demon in your house named CARBON MONOXIDE. he enchants your mind with confusion and your body with exhaustion. you need to call a powerful exorcist named HVAC TECHNICIAN
thinking about all the “small” art that’s ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didn’t survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.

"no trespassing" "restricted area" "private property" bro im literally curious by nature
As many have noted, the falsification of "the digital age" have been so successfully inculcated that, despite direct evidence to the contrary, there is a pervasive imaginary of the dematerialized status of digital technology. Material and environmental realities are conveniently veiled by miniaturization, the apparent intangibility of wireless setups, the placelessness of data, and terms like "virtual" or "cloud." One of the many phenomena refuting these illusions is the ceaseless construction of new data centers and server farmers to manage the massive increase in data production. These sprawling single-story structures have staggering energy requirements and generate levels of heat damaging to micro-circuitry, which must be cooled at each unit using millions of gallons of water each day. At current exponential rates of data growth, the required number of server farms fifty years from now would cover vast areas of the land surface of the continental US and other regions. The mythologies of a post-industrial information economy also obscure the persistence of earlier modes of production within the current scramble for resources essential to high-tech weaponry, communication networks, consumer technology products, solar and wind energy systems and much else. Violence to both people and their lands defines these imperial and neocolonial operations, as it has for several centuries. The very possibility of a "digital age" requires the expansion of these destructive industrial practices to world-vanquishing extremes.

It is as the great Shigeru Miyamoto once said. "Delayed Pronouns are Eventually Good, but Rushed Pronouns are forever bad".
exactly. me and shiggy go way back i'd never disrespect him
really interesting how wire mother is objectively the most interesting & well-written character on the show but cloth mother gets all the fic because people who don't even watch it see her & say "uwu soft gorl". fuck off
cloth mother is a one note character and wire mother is a two note character, it’s criminal how the kids, you know the main characters in whom the actual dramatic pull of the show lie, are completly ignored; even the mad scientist antagonist is more intersting that the mothers
