If you were pretty online between 2013 and 2018, first of all, I’m sorry, second of all, you are most likely familiar with the somewhat hard-to-define sire called Tumblr. Part interactive blog, a repository for creative works, and a safe haven for fandoms, its influence can still be felt across various internet spaces to this day.
“The Worst of Tumblr” Facebook page actually goes above and beyond its name and shares hilarious and random posts as well. Below you will find a collection that should be entertaining and a bit unhinged, regardless of your taste, so remember to upvote your favorites as you scroll through and comment your thoughts below.

Part of the appeal of Tumblr was its key differences with other social media. Instead of focusing on the individual person, the focus revolved around fandoms, art, memes, and discussions. One’s personality plays a part in what one creates, but the anonymity did allow for more freeform content.
It’s not surprising that many artists, actors, and musicians all had Tumblr accounts at some point, before, during, and after fame. Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and even Ryan Reynolds have and perhaps still are allegedly Tumblr users. While one does not have to stay anonymous on Tumblr, it no doubt adds to the appeal.
this is so wholesome <3 strangers helping strangers, i have faith in the world
While still quite popular, or at least recognizable, Tumblr is still a pretty niche platform compared to giants like Twitter or Facebook. While this might mean less revenue for its owners, the flip side is more focused content and a more consistent demographic. The vast majority of its users were teens and college students, with at least half of its active user base being younger than 25.
Unlike many other social networking sites, Tumblr users are surprisingly prolific, as many do make their own content. In 2019, there would be over 21 million posts made a day, despite only approximately 30 million active users at that time. Compared to Facebook or Instagram, where the majority of users almost never post anything, it’s still a vibrant community, if somewhat reduced over the last few years.
"How could you leave me? Every day there has been a very persistent burglar here looking for me. Luckily I am good at hiding."
This reduction in content and usage came about in 2018 when adult content was banned in an attempt to make the platform more marketable. This, predictably, backfired, as more adult-style content was quite popular. The anonymity and relative freedom of content originally made Tumblr a haven for people exploring their sexuality and researching others’ experiences.
While many assume that the rapid reduction in usage following the adult content ban indicated that much of Tumblr content was not for children, statistically, only approximately 22% of its traffic was specifically for this sort of content. Many left the platform in protest, not so much because they needed it for adult content, but because they did not like the direction it was going.
You can’t. You take one day off every six months and pack in the dentist, doctor, post office, beauty salon, and taxidermist.
I always wondered about banks, people who need them have money, they get money by having a job, and the banks are closed when they aren't at work
You'd be amazed how busy some banks are. People who are retired are there most frequently. Those who work manual labor jobs typically start work very early and end mid afternoon. Most people use some forms of electronic banking. Anyone else who needs to come in usually does on Saturdays.

And try asking for a day off when you have PTO time to cover it !(US). Lol….the day isn’t gonna get approved for time off !
Boomer here. When did doctors stop having Saturday appointments? It used to be that they took off on Wed. and worked til 3 on Sat. or was that just around me? When did many businesses stop having evening and weekend hrs? I have been a caregiver for almost 20 yrs. so my hrs are odd and I did not notice until recently.
I'm in my early 40s and have never as an adult had a doctor that was in office on Saturday. My pediatrician might have when I was a child, but that's it.

Twitter's character limit is the one to blame for stupid abbreviations. Sometimes you're short just a few characters so it becomes a habit to just shortcut where you can.

Thee must work where you can take time off for certain things (government Jobs). Work for yourself or get a mate who wants to support you. Also have no emergencies during working hours.
I had it even worse. Travelled for business for 35 years so wasn’t even in the same state to make appointments.
This is my husband's number one complaint about adulthood as well!
Feel the same way about school meetings which around here are often scheduled during the work day. I mean my wife and I can get to them but what about all the parents that can't?
It's worse in Wisconsin. Dr. and Dentists are only open M-F until 5:00.
Hypothetically using personal, sick, or vacation time. Or flex time, ie come in early or stay late some day. Yes I know not everyone has that option.
And they don't take calls during lunch time!?!?! Excuse me, shall I set up the appointment telepathically? And when YOU call me, I am supposed to drop everything for YOU!
I asked my parents many times. Usually one started work sooner than the other. And they did some "chores" like shopping during lunchtime. But, yeah, it still does not seem enough.
My pharmacy of all places, is only open 9:00-5:30. Plus they are closed on they weekends. I am saved by the fact that I can refill on line and they have same day delivery.
Work in shifts but then new problems arise. Sleep deprived or no social life alternating weekly
I always made appointments on my days off - that way I didn't have to make up the time I would've missed.
from a doctor's office perspective - your out of hours is also our out of hours. ;-)
Then change your hours so you can actually help people.

keep in mind, hen I was young, banks were open 10-3 and ATMs didn't exist
Our library close at 10 an on Sat am is closet on Sun. My Dr's ofc is open day and sun with great nurse practitioners and nurses
you take time away from your job to go to your appointment... or take the day off...
Man I’d be ROLLING lmao I have to remember this for when my sister turns 32
Video games don’t help me “relax,” they have me screaming “yessss YESSSS” at the screen like Gollum when he gets the Ring. Get it right, EnochPowell. 🙄
My BFF from HS lives over an hour away (more if there is traffic-Houston). When my kids were little, she always came to my house to visit. She married later in life and had 1 kid. Now I try to go visit her when her schedule allows. And that's why we've been BFFs for 42 years and counting.
I would have backed up a few feet and braked hard. Door slams shut. Boss comeback.
Puss in Boots got a weird translation here, the dog is called Perrito and every time they say his name the subtitle goes "Speaking Spanish", like it is his NAME you dont have to translate it!

Well this wasn't Tumblr, like what, 5% was? Nevertheless entertaining I guess.
Those are screenshots from Twitter posted on Tumblr. But it gets even better. Boredpanda copied them from a Facebook group called "The worst of Tumblr".
Load More Replies... I clicked on this hoping to see some tumblr shenanigans (which I miss) but turns out this is mostly about Twitter :(
About four-ish were actually from Tumblr. The rest not. Its terrible.

Calling for a proofreader: If you were pretty online between 2013 and 2018, first of all, I’m sorry, second of all, you are most likely familiar with the somewhat hard-to-define sire called Tumblr. Really, guys, the very first sentence?!
This post makes me so angry. It's mostly Twitter and other platforms. Hardly anything from Tumblr. How lazy can you get? If these images are from that Fb group, that group should change their name. BP needs to do a better job about topics to write about. Don't choose some Fb group and then show content that has nothing to do with the topic.
