Tumblr is like a modern day marriage between social networking and blogging. A "microblog" if you will. And the thing about blogging is that you can say pretty much whatever's on your mind.
Unlike many other platforms where posts are short, polished, and carefully curated, Tumblr often veers off the beaten path. Here, rabbit holes reign supreme and strange tangents take unexpected twists and turns of their own. One minute, you're minding your own business and posting about yet another random, adulting problem you encountered last Tuesday. The next, it's become a deep discussion about the rising cost of living and how Kylie Jenner's private jet is contributing to climate change.
Tumblr has more than 130 million active users a month and it's easy to get lost in the collective chaos. Enter Curated Tumblr: a micro-version of the microblog, where people share the best posts they've spotted on the platform. Bored Panda has put together a list of our personal favorites. They have nothing in common, except that they're all a bunch of clumsy, clever and wild thoughts that at some point popped into someone's head, and ended up online.

We don’t get anything in the UK except the warm, fuzzy glow of knowing we probably just voted for the wrong person and will be disappointed. Again.
But there is the Dogs at Polling Stations page on the BBC News website to see all the doggies.

Well, the Aussie makes a pretty powerful observation. There are two caveats: 1) in my U.S. State (Michigan) we had a choice of 6 or 8 stickers drawn by school children and they were AWESOME. The stickers ruled. But the prove the OP's point, in the U.S., some people were arrested for handing out bottled water to people waiting in very long outdoor lines because ... I can't make up a reason stupid (sorry the "S" word again) enough to "explain" why give people water would against the law (other than the obvious racism, classism, minority party desperately trying to hold on to power by prevent voting rather han changing their policies to fit a changing electorate)
Load More Replies...I have to admit I feel like a child who got a gold star after I get my sticker. It says "I Voted!" on it. I feel a wave of accomplishment. I did the thing! I took part! I tried to fight against the horrible things happening in my country, at least in a small way! XD The feeling always passes immediately and then I stick the sticker on my dog's nose, but for a brief, fleeting moment, I am again a proud, happy child getting an "I Was Brave" sticker from the doctor XD

Also, I don't know which places this guy is going to, but the traditional sausage sizzles have generic white bread, not bread rolls, and the standard sauce is tomato, though BBQ and mustard are often available too. I don't know why I am giving such an in-depth analysis, I don't even like sausages and I pre-poll so never at schools.
I, for one, appreciate the in-depth analysis. I didn't know about the sausages-at-the-polls at all before this post, and you adding more info prevented me from making an incorrect assumption about them just being handed out for free. Always happy to be part of today's lucky 10,000! Dammit, now I want a sausage inna bun.

In Sweden you usually can get stuff before election. My kids love to walk by city hall and get candy, baloons, toys. Adults get coffee, condoms, ice scrapers and such.
'Here are your coffee, c****m and ice scraper, now go have a party
Load More Replies...I'm in the US and my take is that we have TOO MANY people voting. I really don't want to encourage voting with rewards that appeal to the laziest people possible. I'd rather that people have to solve a NYT Sunday Crossword in order to be allowed to vote, or first they have to help mow the lawn of the courthouse...something that demonstrates either intelligence or civic-mindedness.
Isn't voting mandatory in Australia, though ? Jailing people who don't wanna vote would surely be more expensive than offering them free hot dogs if they do vote.
Non-voters aren't jailed. They maybe get a fine if the government bothers to chase them up at all.
Load More Replies...You have to buy the sausage. It’s called a democracy sausage and there’s a website you can go and check which polling stations are doing the sausages nearby
...and that's with compulsory voting. Imagine if they had to entice up to the polls...we'd get silver service, methinks.
No, they send you your sticker along with the election papers.

Yup, on to the next level. In all seriousness, though, in my world, if someone gives me something that bears a positive significance to them, regardless of whether it aligns with my persuasions or not, I feel grateful and thank them. It's their way of showing kindness, gratitude and care. That's what counts, not the item itself. It's of significance to them, as should their act be to you.

Too Far
I live on the Isle of Wight (a little island off the south coast of England) and people over here have a ridiculously distorted sense of distance. A couple of weeks ago, I travelled to a place about 40 minutes' drive away, and the people I was visiting were amazed and impressed by my strength and determination in making such an epic journey. Jokes were made about needing my passport. I was, and remain, bewildered.

Absence Of Smells
In my 40's, I started caving ("spelunking"), and have been in well over 100 wild caves, deep pits, etc. And now there is a smell that I never smelled before, but come across occasionally above ground. Difficult to describe, but like a wet black garbage back, no exactly musty, but .... A brand new smell in my mid-40's is just weird. I'm sure I have come across wet trash bags before, but never this odor. Weird.
