While the other social media platforms were keeping it tidy, Tumblr was going wild. "Curated for what?!" they howled. It's often been referred to as a space where social networking and blogging meet. A "micro-blog" where people's random thoughts tumble out for all to see, and laugh at.
While some argue that Tumblr peaked in high school and is somewhat of a has-been now, that hasn't stopped more than 135 million active users from flocking there every month. And they never fail to deliver... Many of the posts are either such comedy gold or pure brilliance that they've been inducted into a digital hall of fame, to be enjoyed again and again and again.
You can find a whole bunch of them at the Best of Tumblr Facebook page, where, as the name suggests, a dedicated community showcases the best the platform has to offer. Bored Panda has put together a selection of our favorites for you to scroll through when you need spice up your social media life. Don't forget to upvote the ones that tickle your funny bone.

This Generation Of Cats Are Next Level Lazy
Tumblr may not be THE most popular social media platform (that prize goes to Facebook with over 3 billion monthly active users), but it certainly does have some of the funniest and wittiest guys and girls around. While many millennials have moved on to other pastures, the Gen Z crowd is reportedly flocking to the microblogging platform.
Business Insider revealed that in 2025, 50% of Tumblr's active monthly users were Gen Zers, as were 60% of new users signing up at the time.
One of the possible reasons is because it's seen as a safer space than X (formerly known as Twitter), Instagram, or Facebook, where politics and influencers reign supreme.

For those unfamiliar with the platform, How Stuff Works describes it as a network of millions of user-generated, personal websites.
"It's part blogging platform (like Wordpress or Blogger) and part social networking service, letting users create and post their own original content," notes the site. "Written entries, photographs, video clips, or links to other websites — you can share all of these things with your friends and followers."

Boris has concluded that math s***s and time is a social construct lol
Some believe that Tumblr is obsolete, with the New Yorker once referring to the platform as "something like an Atlantis of social networks."
"Once prominent, innovative, and shining, on equal footing with any other social-media company, it sank under the waves as it underwent several ownership transfers in the twenty-tens," wrote Kyle Chayka. But interestingly, Chayka argues that the "shipwreck" nature is what's drawing people back to the Tumblr.

Unlike many other social media sites, Tumblr hasn't undergone and massive makeovers to keep up with modern times. And as we've come to know, many people love a good dose of old school.
"Tumblr’s very status as a relic of the Internet—easily forgotten, unobtrusively designed, more or less unchanged from a decade ago—is making it appealing to prodigal users as well as new ones," explains the New Yorker.
Tumblr launched in 2007, around the same time mobile phones were becoming popular. It led the pack back in the day when it came to curated images.
“It was right at a time when everyone was getting cell phones... you could take a picture from your phone and post it on the Tumblr app,” says Sharon Butler, an artist who used Tumblr for her blog, Two Coats of Paint. “You could have more text than on Twitter, but it was a cooler community than Facebook.”

Absolutely! Going through my pictures and memes on my phone, I've realized just how many there are of cows or that are cow related. As much as I love animals, I'm not the one obsessed with cows specifically, but it sure seems like it :)

And In That Moment I Knew What It's Like To Be A Grizzly Bear

I read somewhere that hibernating bears are actually great examples for explaining why we will still want dessert after eating a full meal and feeling full. When bears are trying to fatten up before hibernation, once they start filling up, they will often eat just the skin of the fish they catch, because it is more calorically dense. Dessert is our version of trying to consume more calories when we have very little room left in our stomachs, because starvation has been a major problem throughout most of our evolution

Gaslighting Starts Early!

When I was in primary school, there was a boy that wanted to kiss me. I complained to the teacher on yard duty that he keeps chasing me so he could kiss me and her response was 'just stop running' which I am still mad about 30 years later.
