Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

More from the notes:

i'm thinking about how cats hold their babies and how so many mammals also hold their babies and also about how physical touch is a love language

but mostly i'm thinking of this:

in case nobody had guessed, i'm touchstarved.

also this!

i had this image in my head but i found it again <3

a hug is the universal expression of love!!!

This too:

one thing to miss about porn on tumblr is how ridiculous people acted like. there was this one catfish on here who would steal other people’s dick pics and pretend they were all him. he’d post circumcised one day and uncut the next like… sir.

i love how castles are like, a fairytale staple and princesses live in them now. those were military installations do you think in 4000 years the irradiated mice that inherit our world will tell stories about princesses living on aircraft carriers

one can only hope

I TRIED TO CONVERT A NON-FUNCTIONING VIDEO IN VEGAS AND IT FUCKED UP

NEED!

Twitter OP is the one making them, by the way.

They're currently out of stock because it's a small business but they're going to be restocked soon!

the gimmick blogs are like tumblr’s rogue gallery. yes we’ve got some heroes, yes we’ve got some villains, but more importantly if you look over here you will see some freak who devotes all their time to counting the number of “t’s” in a post

T Count: 15

Letter Count: 198

Your T Percentage: 7.58%

Average T Percentage: 6.95%

You used the letter T 1.09 times as much as average!

YOU EXIST???

Sometimes you create a guy and it turns out they already exist

Sometimes that guy has skills beyond your comprehension @identifying-cars-in-posts

Troll Alert

So this dude on twitter is harassing the RWBY voices, and briefly claimed that he WORKED on RWBY.

When confronted over sending abusive messages to Kdin, he claimed his “Autism” made him send messages to the HH actresses calling them murderers and war criminals. (He also admits to sending messages to Christina.) 

He’s also got posts focusing on Marrow as a “war criminal” and claims he attacked Fiona. 

He sent messages to Jason Rose, but people intervened before he could do more damage.

TLDR block this shitstain and warn people in the fandom. 

harley rolling up to the wayne manor is her bedazzled heeleys: omg brucie you’ll NEVER guess what happened—oh are you busy?

bruce laying in the grass as his kids spray him with a hose from ten feet away: no go on I’m listening

harley laying down next to him: alright cool SO!

bruce rolling up to her apartment in a rolls royce and bedazzled sunglasses just straight up honking until she comes outside: harley, you wouldn’t believe what lex luthor wore to the board meeting this time

harley in matching sunglasses:  o my god, not the blue prada sw-

bruce nodding his head: the fucking prada sweats

I love any and all content of WTCH interacting like an actual team

EVERY TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA I GET SO ANGRY.

but why

Because it got burned. All of that knowledge, lost forever.

The library was destroyed over 1000’s of years ago. The library consisted of thousands of scrolls and books about mathematics, engineering, physiology, geography, blueprints, medicine, plays, & important scriptures. Thinkers from all over the Mediterranean used to come to Alexandria to study.Most of the major work of civilization up until that point was lost. If the library still survived till this day, society may have been more advanced and we would sure know more about the ancient world.

That graphic grinds my gears every time I see it

Julius Caesar to be precise 

Remember this when you’re conquering. Keep the books.

THIS HURTS MY HEART SO MUCH EVERY TIME ITS BROUGHT UP

Julius Caesar needs to be stabbed for this

I know we should totally stab Caesar

Does March 15th sound good for everyone??

hey everyone, guess what day it is

Fun Ides of March stuff aside, fuck that graph. It completely ignores scientific advancements made outside of western Europe.

Any chart of scientific knowledge that excludes the Caliphates, everywhere east of the Byzantine, and the Americas isn’t charting the scientific knowledge of the world, it’s feeding you a white eurocentric narrative.

Meanwhile, in Australia…

These are people of the Warlpiri nation in northern Australia, and the footage is from a docudrama called Bush Mechanics, from 2001. Here’s the write-up on Wikipedia, or you can find plenty of the show on youtube.

i wonder if i will still use tumblr in 5 years

The (un)funny thing about this (seven year old) post is that seven years ago the internet was such that one could reasonably imagine that in 5 years there would be other, better platforms that would make tumblr sort of outdated and cringy. Now the alternatives to tumblr are Corporations Spying On You, Absolute Hellhole Of Discourse Over Tumblr Screenshots, Corporations Spying On You, Tumblr Posts But In Video Form While Corporations And The Chinese Government Spy On You, That Platform You Signed On After The Titty Ban Spread Mass Panic And You Never Used Since, and reddit

If you don’t love languages, hear me out: my telugu friend had been affectionately calling me, a hindi speaker, “gundi” for 7 months. We didn’t realize until recently that the word has two completely different meanings in Telugu and Hindi, and that we both had completely different interpretations of her affection.

In Telugu, “gundi” means “smol/button/round/cute”.

In Hindi, “gundi” means “female thug”

As a Telugu and Hindi speaker, this was hilarious to read.

No one ever properly appreciates Noam Chomsky for spending large portions of his time these days sitting at his computer and answering virtually every question that anyone sends him, about anything at all

It’s really coming to a head for me now - it’s so frustrating that Volume 8 keeps introducing new concepts, hyping them up and then having the payoff be entirely unsatisfying.

It feels like they’re so excited to reveal the next plot thread that they just wrap up the previous ones super abruptly and in the most dissatisfying way possible.

Dropping this whole ‘don’t fall in the subspace’ thing doesn’t mean anything when they basically tossed out all of the volume’s major conflicts to have the last two episodes focus on it, and chances are it’s not even going to have a satisfying conclusion either.

They seriously needed to cut back on the plot threads for this volume, because it’s a pacing mess.

- Winter and the AceOps were ordered to go on what’s essentially a tragic suicide mission, but they never had to thanks to Ozcar’s cane new ability.

- Penny being hacked was presented as a big threat, to the point she’d ask Ruby to kill her as to not hurt anyone, but she actually did nothing except shove Klein aside I guess (how kind of her!).

- It was implied that anything could happen to Penny because this was a bold project, but turns out that everything is fine I guess?

Every time you think there are some stakes, that something major is going to happen, they rush through a weirdly convenient solution and move onto something else. It’s especially frustrating when there were some interesting and thrilling ideas in the lot, and it feels like they purposely walk around those every time.
