78 Funny, Deep, And Weird Tumblr Posts That Deserve More Attention (New Pics)
Many of you who were online in the late 2000s were likely on Tumblr as well. It was the go-to microblogging platform for users, alongside another little app called Twitter.
These days, a large number of people spend a chunk of their screen time on sites like Instagram and TikTok. But that doesn’t mean that Tumblr has completely fallen off the face of cyberspace. It is still very much around, and these funny posts are its proof of life.
Thanks to the Tumblr subreddit, we have these constant reminders of a much simpler time on the internet. Scroll through and feel free to upvote those that trigger the most nostalgia for you.

Autistic people are unfortunately aware of all those things, while Allistic people just accept that they are tired because it was all filtered out.
Contrary to what many people may think, Tumblr didn’t go out of style. Several factors contributed to its push to obscurity, one of them being the $1.1 billion Yahoo! paid to acquire the microblogging platform.
An anonymous Tumblr executive spoke to Digiday in 2017, noting an apparent culture clash between the two internet giants.

The only thing it doesnt explain is HOW do you make money if you don't do anything. Its easy to be poor even if you are beyond frugal.

Hmm I Wonder
“Yahoo never gave Tumblr the time and support to innovate ad products. By the time Yahoo realized how far in the race Tumblr fell behind, it was already too late,” the person stated.
Another unnamed employee claimed that most of Tumblr’s corporate staff refused to work for Yahoo out of concern of potentially losing their “great company culture.”

Anyone Else Get This Feel?
Tumblr eventually landed in the hands of Automatic, the web development company that created WordPress. The change of ownership happened in 2019, when Verizon sold it for a “paltry” $3 million.
According to recent statistics, Tumblr has around 135 million monthly active users globally. And surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) enough, data found that its core users are Gen Z, which makes up 95 million of its global monthly active users.

Alpha Male
So, why is the “ancient” Tumblr such a hit among young people today? According to cultural critic and The New Yorker journalist Kyle Chayka, one reason is that the platform offers a welcome escape from influencer culture.
"There are no influencers on Tumblr in the contemporary sense—no one making a living off brand deals or optimizing their posts for an audience of millions,” Chayka wrote. “The site remains famously bad at monetization, which is precisely what makes it feel so human."

I Miss My Friends

Introvert here. Literally the opposite in my case: social obligations are exhausting even with friends. Sometimes you just need to time to decompress with the neighbour's cat, you know? Being constantly "on" socially, becomes debilitating after a few hours.

This is petting ALL OF MY PEEVES. The currency is spelt Marks not marcs, first of all, and that is the currency of Germany. Sweden is not spelt 'sweeden', and their currency was the Rigsdaler (dollar of the realm), then the Krona (crown) after WW1.

If Were Gonna Live In A Cyberpunk Dystopia At Least Let Us Have The Drip To Go With It
Another thing that sets Tumblr apart from popular social platforms is that it enables users to turn off its dashboard algorithm. This allows people to see posts in reverse chronological order, just like in the old days.
According to Chayka, this adds to its appeal, especially to younger people who don’t want all the noise that TikTok and Instagram bring.

Herr Doktor

Sorry but NO. Medical intervention is not, and should never be, a bouquet of flowers you can pick & choose on a whim. Every doctor learns that whether or not they do not go into pharmacology, and pretending this cavalier attitude is normal, is why some people do not take dosage limits seriously.

Protector Of The Bees

"Perfectly able" suggests free will and a Gen Z attitude towards the hive queen. Isn't blithe anthrocentrism adorable?
"On TikTok or Instagram, content is pushed to you by black-box algorithms based on what will keep you staring at your screen the longest,” Chayka wrote. "The lack of a frictionless, highly engineered feedback loop makes Tumblr feel less like a competitive arena and more like a quiet room where you can just look at things you like."

My peak worrying about the world wide spider was when search engines first stopped crashing. I wasn't paying for them, so the spider must be. Now I just want the spider to eat all those cookies that are all over the place and leave me alone.

Today is my 20th birthday. I remember seeing fireflies a lot when I was a kid, in my backyard in an average sized town. I hadn't seen them in years until this 4th of July, when I was in a pretty rural area. It makes me sad.

I've just been reading the Redwall novels by Brian Jaques (although he was born only in 1939) having enjoyed the cartoons but not previously read them, and yeah, needed quite a lot of suspension of, not so much disbelief, but deeper questioning. So may whys and hows, starting with why the good guys and the bad guys have to be fighting one anther but moving on to more basic issues, like the mice that live in an abandoned church - abandoned by whom? What previous civilisation built it, was it human-sized? And one recurring point about food, which is often quite central to the story: they eat a lot of cheese and drink a lot of milk, but where does it come from? No cows, sheep or goats are mentioned, and how would the mice be able to farm them anyway?

Recommendations?

For my own entertainment I write short form stories. From a sentence of two, to maybe a paragraph of two at most. Some of them have genuinely good philosophical ideas, some of them have ideas that are haunting. Think how Kurt Vonnegut would describe a Kilgore Trout story. One paragraph is all you need sometimes.

The next line is "See, Hyper Erection Mode requires a lot of stamina". Apparently it was some anime where a dude had to keep a constant boner, I've seen people say it was for a bet, someone else said the dude had a deadline to meet and worked the best when he had a boner. I don't know. But no, I didn't guess that next line lmao.
