There's something quite charming about relatively small objects that are way heavier than they look. ooohh you're one dense little freak aren't you
im dying over this thread of algorithmically-generated/otherwise low-effort Kindle covers
don't forget
grossly inappropriate copy of animal farm that is on my nightstand at this very moment
...When you're getting ready to design a book cover and you're not sure what you do is going to be good enough.. it's always reassuring to see something like [all of the above].
I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.
"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy
They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!
Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.
defending myself in court with a shirt that says “i’m clearly lying”
Clark Kent, trying to leave a gala he’s covering: Ope, just gonna squeeze right past you.
Bruce Wayne, who heard Superman say the same thing at a Justice League meeting that morning: No fucking way
i think if i had the ability to lie down and like. open up slots in my body to release hot air and steam and all that shit it would fix me. like if every time i laid down i could just. PSSHHHHTTT all the tension out of my body
I need some big fucking cooling vents that I can exhale steam from dramatically like a mecha
YEAH LITERALLY THIS
People would ask me how I'm doing and I'd go fine and immediately all my vents would explosively jet steam.
OP, this is a genuinely genius method of tricking the human brain into beginning to understand the sort of scale that this looks like.
The notes are getting hung up on how the carbon offset for killing an oil executive was calculated, and y'all, it's not supposed to be an accurate calculation of exactly what would happen if you killed an oil executive, it's meant to highlight just how unbelievably vast the environmental impact of the bigwigs at BP or Exxon is compared to yours, and ultimately how the planet is being knowingly and purposefully killed by a small handful of uber wealthy individuals.
"damn I'm crying over an insect" "why am I having such strong feelings over how the sky looks" "it's weird how happy this small thing made me feel" THAT'S BECAUSE YOU LIVE HERE!!!! you live on this earth. everything all the time is an experience, no matter how common or mundane. this world is unique. so are its small moments. it is good to enjoy a tiny thing. you love the world even at its smallest scale.
Dearest fellow tumblrinas, Do I have a poll for you!

Me: *scrolling twitter in bed*
My gf: "I like to think Mario and Luigi are both colour blind and think they have matching outfits"
Me: *fucking losing it*
i am in fact NOT being very brave about it and will whine and complain until i die. As is my right
generational difference between people who learnt the word kin on tiktok and think it is a fun way of saying u identify somewhat with a character VS people who learnt the word kin on tumblr where people would threaten each other about kin lists because they genuinely believed they were a manifested reincarnation of karkat homestuck
genuinely people would have tiered lists of kins, from it's okay to follow me if you kin this, to never interact w me if any of your mutuals are kin w this because this is literally me
people were kinblocking like it was the beaches of fucking normandy
whenever i'm not in school i romanticize it so much i'm always like "man i can't wait to write essays again" no you don't are you insane
i dont need to go clubbing anymore i just go to the local grocery store that plays 80s music and stand there
please can someone tell me why people sometimes screenshot posts and put them underwater
