seems like you can make anything sound cooler by making it a TikTok thing, like “as seen on TikTok”, I wonder what’s the weirdest thing you could apply that to
Now I’m just picturing a section of junk products labeled “As Seen On TikTok” replacing the “As Seen On TV” stuff.
Google informs me there is a “famous tiktok pasta” but most of the products are obviously clothes and cosmetics or dances and exercises.
A software tester walks into a bar. Runs into a bar. Crawls into a bar. Dances into a bar. Flies into a bar. Jumps into a bar. And orders: a beer. 2 beers. O beers. 99999999 beers. a lizard in a beer glass. -1 beer. “qwertyuiop” beers. Testing complete. A real customer walks into the bar and turns on a screen reader. The bar goes up in flames.

for the love of god please listen to old users when we say this site works differently. that you can’t just sit around with a blank blog. make posts or reblog, but do something at least. this site works because we don’t have an unavoidable garbage algorithm forcefeeding us posts based on our likes. we do not need another fucking twitter, tiktok or instagram.
liking a post is literally useless here. we don’t have an algorithm. we see posts when people reblog them onto our dashes, they show up in a tag we’re following/searching, or they end up chucked into our recommended page (very inaccurate, basically just popular posts that may be vaguely related to your interests sometimes). liking doesn’t do anything. it’s just a button that’s there to show, hey, i saw this post. or you’re saving it for later

I want a future where americans are so extremely ashamed of their own nationality they actively hide it when they can. Im talking abt learning another language and trying to pass of as another ethinicity levels of shame, cause its what they deserve
One implication of the fact that social media companies go out of their way to stoke hate and conflict is that everyone should probably get in the habit of thinking twice before diving into online controversies, because there’s a very good chance that they’re being deliberately taken out of context, exaggerated, or otherwise framed in an intellectually dishonest fashion
I know the majority of you won’t abide by this advice. But I figured I’d post it anyway.
“telling someone to kiss your ass or get fucked etc is actual sexual harassment making you a sexual predator” was a Tumblr thing for years that people tried to do to me and everyone I know at least once. If someone says someone else is terrible but *doesn’t specify precisely why* it’s usually this kind of thing.
Honestly this is a big part of why when i see internet drama going down i usually try to treat it the same way i would if i heard a bar fight happening down the street. Turn around and walk the other way.
[Image IDs: Tumblr tags reading: (start all caps) #Yup #yup yup yup (end caps) #oh god you want to hear an example of this? #so back in 2020 this person was being irritating in the notes of my post so I replied ‘kiss my ass’ and blocked them #that was it. that was our only interaction. #and then this yeah I get a message from someone saying ‘hey this person just accused you of sexually harassing them?’ #and I’m like 'wait what the fuck??’ and go to check it out (start all caps) #And it’s the person I blocked a year ago (end caps) #the entire basis for the accusation is me using the phrase 'kiss my ass’ #I’m…………..

I love seeing a meme and being like oh, tumblrs going to love this one
I don’t see right angles
They’re marked with tiny grey squares. But to be more precise, any line that goes through the center of a circle will intersect the circle at a right angle.
It’s constructed like this:
All 4 sides of A and B are right triangles. Same with C and D. Then we erase some lines and:
This shape. Except mine doesn’t have for equal length sides, theirs does.
Now, this is breaking a Euclidean postulate. Specifically that the lines aren’t straight. I’m not sure if “angles must be measured from inside the shape” is also a Euclidean rule. I think it’s a natural side-effect of the Eucliduan postulates which makes it a Euclidian correlary.
Point is, that this is a pretty standard Non-Euclidian shape, specifically a non-Euclidian square. This is what Lovecraft expects you to be afraid of.
Well I know at least one person in the world that would be afraid…
i’m quietly malding about czech 20th century cultural heritage and archival footage never been as well done as gosteleradiofond in russia, an entire agency sponsored by the state that does nothing but upload all different types of media literally every two hours to a youtube channel in HD.
i want to be able to watch a random czech cooking program that aired only in ustecký kraj for one rainy thursday in april of 1982 or a czech-made nature documentary about seals on the canadian islands made in late 1978 at the click of a button, and not have to wait for ČT24 or whatever other godless organization to upload some random 30 second clip of the most popular normal media everyone has seen once every 5 weeks in a 1:1 aspect ratio.
seriously no other country on the planet has mastered the art of saving their 20th century cultural heritage like gosteleradiofond has - and it’s all powered by the eternal spirit of pyotr demichev and his hairline.

i think you’re lowballing the furry art amount tbh
I’m sorry for the inaccuracies, Doctor Yiff
no matter how I respond to this I don’t look good, well played. i walked right into that
Well, furry artists are typically more competent and courteous than your average doctor, so I can see that.
Did you just legitimately tell me that a person who draws wolf ass is more competent than a dude who spent 8+ years in a university to give you your lung transplant?
doctors are bullshit and furry artists perform an infinitely more valuable service to society compared to them
You will die in 7 days
It took doctor’s like 10 years to diagnose what was wrong with me, some insisting I was faking for attention while a furry artist I knew just went “that sounds like crohn’s” after hearing me complain once and ended up being right
Also I can’t go to a doctor and ask them to draw Rouge the Bat wider than she is tall with tits to match, now can I
[ID: a comic illustrating the above thread as if it was happening in a theater. The users are mostly shaped like their icons, pukicho is a pikachu and hokuto-ju-no-ken is a gengar. The last panel is gengar looks back where a speech bubble comes out of the crowd to say, “you could if you weren’t a fucking coward.” /end]
I can’t believe I’m actually seeing this post
Magic of tumblr,
I am morally obligated to add the YouTube video whenever this thread crosses my dash
I’ve seen this thread more than a few times. But this is the first time I’ve seen this video. So thank you for your service.
still not over the fact that pukicho is voiced be the same guy who plays DR sylvester ashling meaning that this is just them ranting about how he makes less money than a furry artist
having viral posts is all fun and games until you have clowns in your mentions being like “well, op, i bet you also didn’t know THIS” [haughtily explains something i absolutely would and do know] like add whatever to my posts that you think is informative just don’t direct it at ME! i know! i just didn’t include it in the post i made in 20 seconds because i didn’t think 30,000 of you would see it!
i love these tags. WHAT was your viral post i need to know so badly.

If your only idea of what polyamory is like comes from abusive and patriarchal religious groups then I’m sorry to say you don’t know enough about the topic for your opinion to be worth anything.
Sure, John the Mormon who views women as incubators and rapes his wives and kids is terrible. Why should I be banned from marrying multiple people because of him, though?
None of the problems we have with John the Mormon are actually a result of him having multiple wives. They’re all things that are already bad or illegal independently, like child sexual abuse. They are also things that you can easily do polyamory without.
The argument here makes as much sense as banning all sex and relationships because abusive partners and rapists exist.
I don’t think Marisa the Liberal Bisexual who understands consent and doesn’t abuse kids is going to do polygamy the same way as John the Mormon.

if anything, having all those marriages be legal will make it harder for John the Mormon to abuse women because they will then be afforded legal protection such as divorce and family services. Fundamentalist Mormon enclaves practice their abusive form of polygamy in the way they do precisely because it’s not legal to marry more than once - so all those other women and children outside of the one legal marriage are at his absolute mercy and have no legal recourse against him. They don’t properly exist to even protect.
No it won’t stop all abuse, just like no-fault divorce hasn’t, but it’s made a very very large difference that shouldn’t be ignored.
So yes. I’m even aromantic and give no personal shits about marriage, but any adult should be able to marry whoever they want whenever they want, why would I even care? I only care enough to type this out because changing this little law would materially help vulnerable people, whether they’re a queer polyam qpr trying to survive capitalism or a young ex-mormon trying to keep her kids, I want more of a fair shake for the helpless. You must legally exist to be an entity worth protecting.

the abelism of this is disgusting, ya’ll will jump at any oppertunity to say its ok to euthanise disabled people. how quickly you go to “natural selection” about it, you are disgusting for calling this nuanced because of disability.
It will never not baffle me how hard society tries to insist that fatness is an abnormality. The average western woman wears plus size clothing. One of the smallest garments on the scale is called a medium. Most people with anorexia are in the overweight bmi category, yet somehow that’s known as “atypical anorexia”. Fatness is often labeled the cause of a number of diseases, but there are literally no diseases exclusive to fat bodies. Looking at movies and television, you’d think the world was 98% thin people. It’s not.
My point isn’t that if it was pretty rare to be fat, fatphobia would be okay. Of course not.
My point is that we’re surrounded by all these artificial indicators that fatness is unnatural and uncommon and it’s just not true?? Humans are not always thin and we’ve never all been thin and we’re not all meant to be thin. Fat humans are a normal type of human. Fatness is a feature, not a bug.
a beautiful man with long black hair dressed in all white sat next to me on the train back from denmark. i complimented his outfit, and he asked me where the train was going. after i told him, he then pointed at my shirt which says ‘catastrophe’ and said “oh i know a lot about those.” and laughed uproariously.
and then he asked me “do you know about norse mythology?” and i said yes a bit because i read the edda a decade ago, and he said “i met fenrir in denmark” and i said that’s probably not good if fenrir is walking around. and he said “oh don’t worry about it, vithar will take care of it” and i replied oh but that’s ragnarøk, that’s still pretty bad for us mortals is it not? and he grinned at me like i said something incredibly funny. and then he ignored me for the rest of the train ride?
thank god anything at all useful is being torn down and made illegal so that the computer can just be a box you turn on to watch ads for fake phone games
Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?
I have a tendency to beat myself up whenever something I make doesn’t meet my expectations (which is always). The result is that finishing something = bad feelings: I am effectively punishing myself for having created something. The natural reaction to this punishment is an aversion to creation, meaning that my perfectionism is harming me, not only by causing me to despise what I do make and by impeding the creative process, but by attacking even my desire to create.
