Tumblr was a social media giant in the early 2010s. It was the perfect middle ground, offering more text characters than Twitter and less clutter than Facebook. For many people, it was a glorious era of online networking.
Thankfully, the Curated Tumblr subreddit keeps those days alive in today’s world of “reels” and “shorts.” As the name suggests, it’s a collection of screenshots from the platform that touch on political discourse, life’s absurdities, and everything in between.
We’re keeping this a lighthearted list that’s more about the silly and mundane. Enjoy scrolling and have yourself a nice throwback to a simpler time on the internet.

Yep. I'm the guy the defense wants on the jury. You committed a crime and got immediate karma so now want the true victim to pay? Your honor, are we allowed to hang the plaintiff?

Taylor sounds like an insufferable girlfriend. I'm sure she's just as bad, if not worse, to her boyfriends and makes it hard for them to please her in strategy. Her muse is break-ups. If she doesn't have fights, falling outs, break ups, her career would be over.
Taylor seems worth the suffering. Stunning world famous billionaire girlfriend? You can whip me, sing about me, throw me off the tower, I'm in.
Load More Replies...Taylor Swift makes lots of short private plans flights, which is why her carbon footprint is massive, (I think, not 100% sure)
Load More Replies...Insecure men gotta tear down a s successful woman any way he can.
Indifferent to her, but she makes me think of the Boy Meets World episode where Eric interacts with the hippie singer and she goes dark.... Anyone else??
About the exes? Nobody should. About the pollution the ultra-rich cause? Everyone should. If multi gazillionaures would fly first class, I wouldn't have to compensate by putting my AC unit 0.5 degrees lower and showering one minute less.
Load More Replies...She's worth 1.3 Billion!?!? Somebody hurt me please!? PLEASE!?!?

They should be able to give a short review of the book and tell you on which page the offensive material is, and whether or not it is reoccurring in the book before being even allowed to ask for a book ban.
Autism Awareness
Omg you can't group us. As the saying goes, If you have met one autistic person, you have met one autistic person. We present differently.

The first part happened to me: after a sudden massive decline in health I was found to be dangerously deficient in a vitamin (B12, fwiw). Sadly the "solved all my problems" bit has yet to take effect.

Then again, maybe if you question somebody's identity and sexuality, they'll be annoyed. Also, what if their friend was gay but hadn't come out yet? Seems a jerkish way to treat your friends

Racist, But Funny
My son is autistic and in a special needs school and the kids are allowed to leave class and go outside if they need to.

Dumb Ways To Die
Evolution
Evolution is reactive, not proactive. There's no goal per se, as in, a species isn't trying to evolve toward something, just trying to adapt to changing conditions so as to not die.

From What I Can Tell This Hasnt Been Posted Here Yet So Here
It fascinates me endlessly, how in the one hand people are totally loving electronics taking over human work and free stuff on internet, and at the same time complain about not being able to find well enough paid work. Guys, we are 8 billion, not 2,5 as in 1950s happy fantasyland. These 8 billion need food, clothing, shelter and entertainment, which requires them to find well enough paid jobs. Shopping deadcheap stuff from deadcheap countries ruins your local economy and employment. By this making a few incredibly rich and you screaming hell and fire because they are rich.

Good Person
Because my opinions are facts, whereas your 'facts' are just opinions.
Female
Unless the story involves her breasts, vagina or menstruation then adding 'female' to boss is irrelevant. Just don't. If the story involves your boss's breasts, vagina or menstruation then perhaps you should be reconsidering whether your relationship is appropriate and just not tell the story at all.

Book-Ish
A bible, unless it's one you had in primary school but your friend wrote something really naughty in it and you didn't dare give it back when you left and told the teacher you'd lost it.

Supes
The creators of X-Men didn't plan it in the 1960s, but Magneto became a perfect analogy for israel: the victim that became worse than his tormentors, capable and guilty of greater crimes than he endured.
Taking It Seriously
But Chris Pratt Is One Of Them. Y'know, Generic And Famous But Milktoast Performance?
Please tell Chris Pratt to stop voicing animated characters. He got Mario and Garfield. And let's just say they don't sound very different from each other. I miss when voices in animated movies were with iconic, perfect for the part voices rather than just big names.

In case you were wondering, the reason why all of these seemed so random compared to the next one is that the author just went on r/curatedtumblr and just took screenshots of random posts
*article says memes from tumbler* everyone: How dare they screenshot things from tumbler? I’m very picky about my titles because I’m way too bored. I hate bored panda and how repetitive it is but yet I use it everyday!
