There are plenty of social media sites on the internet, but when Tumblr was launched in 2007, it revolutionized the scene. Not only could users share text, they could anonymously post photos and videos, reblog other users’ content and customize their home pages to their liking. And lucky for us, this platform has been the breeding ground for endless hilarious content.
Below, you’ll find some of the funniest and most clever interactions that have taken place on Tumblr, courtesy of the Tumblr subreddit. Enjoy scrolling through these silly posts, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you nostalgic for that golden age of 2014 Tumblr!

Please Don’t Overanalyze This
Yes! Replace Star Wars 7-9 with muppet Star Wars. The Frog Awakens, the Last Piggy and the Rise of Gonzo.

Insulin
This is heartbreaking. I am glad i live in a country where people have to pay exactly 0 for their insulin. Yeah yeah "but free healthcare isn't really free, you pay it with your taxes" and i am damn HAPPY we do, so people who need life saving meds don't just DIE.
Insert Theory Here*
Kids 😒
Spnorts
During WW2, in North Africa, the British were due to move on from a port town, and the Americans were to move into that town after them. A British officer, not keen on Americans, would round up a truckload of local kids, take them to the outskirts, pay them a few pennies each, and teach them English phrases. When the Americans arrived, they were not greeted by the cheers and salutations they expected, but by a barrage of insults, of which 'you lousy Yankee bastard' was probably the least offensive.
Dad Of The Year
You don't know? I think all the other dads (fixed for Adrian so he doesn't have an aneurysm) have to send him their #1 Dad s**t now.
Don't Flatter Yourself - A Signature
Would you pain a King with pimples or leave them out? One road leads to a life in luxury and the other one leads to the executioner.

They Lose. Their. Minds
Look Into Why Loitering Is A Crime
Thomas More said very much the same thing, in 'A Man For All Seasons'.
Oh Okay
Pen
That And Single-Use Toiletries
This is the very definition of "non-place" as defined by Marc Augé in the late '90s, a fascinating concept. Those are not places where anyone *live*, people just pass through in anonymity, without meaningful interactions and without building social networks or memories. The lack of experiential constructs deprives the places of "historical sense", making them timeless (in a "temporally undetermined" sense, non as in "eternal"). It's a concept very well known in architecture, it is basically a mandatory reading.
I Want To Breath Fire And Fly, Like A Dragon
We aren't different species, we don't even have races, we are just humans with differentlevels of pigmentation, as boring as that. We aren't cats.

Lookin At You, Bethesda 👀
I prefer to avoid killing almost any non-hostile npc. Sometimes even avoid throwing explosives at perfectly grouped bunch of foes if there's some innosent tiny vacuum cleaner robot slowly doing its job near them. However, if some a*s npc scratches my vehicle or says any rude word to me or my teammate, I'd hunt it over the whole map.
Some Things That Should Revert Back To What They Were
Where Is The Lie
Are You Lgbt?
What sort of an answer were they looking for honestly? "I used to think I was heterosexual, but then I took a good long look at my genitals and thought 'You know what? I like this...I suspect I'd like this more on another person' and BOOM! Gay"
Kinda True
"Hey, should we tell Sam we're done playing?" "Nahh, let's just leave him there and take his picture "
The Subject Matter Is Awful But The Way This Is Written Is Pretty Funny Ngl
Ha... yeah, that one hits a bit too hard. Kinda like my parent.
Exactly The Type Of Thing That Will Happen When Schools Open
Except they did. And they put the adults to shame, wearing their masks all day every day and complying with all the rules. They were utterly amazing.
Yes This
I see Bob. I upvote. Arguably one of the best parental displays in television.
All That Prep For Ten Minutes
Yep. Stewart's character is dead by around the 7 or 8 minute mark after you get into the game.
Hippo Propaganda
Just in their native continent? Where else, you think they are going on vacation to kill us all?
Should Have Seen That Coming
If you're a metal fan and haven't listen to Japanese metal, you really should.

Yup. Except I hiccup hard enough that when the store is empty at night after we close, they echo.
The Two Genres Of High Fantasy
Nasty
I've Never Flown Before 9/11
Think Outside The Tracks
I have a philosophy degree. I don't like the trolley problem. People are really bad at knowing why they do things, so whatever they come up with as an answer is probably not an accurate representation of what they will actually think/do in that situation. It's an interesting hypothetical, but that's all.

We need a new concept: Popesplaining. Explaining and banning something you have no clue of what it is.
Bread In The United States
I thought they were commenting on the fact that due to its sugar content, most of American bread is considered cake in some countries.
It's All About Perspective
The right image is the top 1% with their golden parachutes. I'm still on the left.
I love r/tumblr - I always imagine twitter as a town with people running around headless screaming, and tumblr has an outside table at a cafe just chilling and being all snarky and observational and intellectual
Ah, Tumblr - aside from Facebook (and YouTube, I suppose), the only social media platform I've actively used. Much funnier than, say, Twitter!
