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.

Genius market research. "8 out of 10 robbers prefer our bank!"...

And even if the bear can't read, it is still only blind and not double-blind, because for double-blind not only the participant (the bear) but also the 'researcher' can't know which is which. (By the way, did I seriously write 'even if the bear can't read'? lol)

Genius. Imagine the advertising: "Nine out of ten bears prefer our honey!"
If its good enough for the bear its good enough for me. Nature approved.
I can’t say I blame him for hating high-fructose corn syrup! The stuff is sickeningly sweet, etc., and totally unnecessary as a food additive.
How I adore reading about people that turns a problem into a solution.
Corn syrup is c**p. That's why American chocolates taste like sick.
He got honey served on a plate. Best kind of payment!

"Steered away"? I'd believe saving it for last, but a bear that avoids it completely isn't a reliable judge. Also, how do they know he wasn't saving the best for last?
What do you mean by honey made from corn syrup? Are you f*****g kidding me?
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.
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!
Any cat owner/cat lover knows the axiom: all orange cats share only one braincell.
The problem with this is some restaurants are starting to post menus without prices just so they don't have to fix it every time they change the prices.
You should definitely get the rengora long handled bath brush ! Scrubby scrubby all the gunk away ! And half your skin too…but nevermind that…
No. Better: give me a staff list, please and I will randomly choose three people to talk to.
I don’t know which season this is, but Mission Winnow, MW, first appeared around 2018, since then the fastest Pit Stop Award has been won by Red Bull. This award gives points at each race for the fastest times and there’s a league table of these. Red Bull are widely acknowledged as the fastest team in the pits, rarely are they troubled by Ferrari.
And with only the father working, had three kids going to school and a happy dog & a grumpy cat. Whoaaa
Idk what kind of cats you guys have but my cats would never throw their dignity aside like this and come just bc I called them. Apparently I’m not worthy of their awe-inspiring presence :’)
Or tell us that you're scared too. You don't have to kill yourselves. Most women will ask you not to go to check on the noise either way.
Dogs too. My parents have 4 of them, the youngest is now 6 and the oldest 14, but I still come in yelling “puppies!” as I’m knocked down by the force of their mass delight that the pack is complete once more.
Many, many moons ago, we'd call the cops to our own parties, turn the music down and have pizza delivered around the same time to share a slice with them - any further calls they got after that they never worried about because they've already attended.
That just how it works, literally everything is work (or school in my case)
ChatGPT sweating rn. “I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot produce sentient opinions. Please refrain from hydrating the hardware.”
nah just drive the car eight feet forward without closing the door to try the next pump.
Mine moved back to my state, and bought a house with an upstairs hubby, youngest, roommate and I could live in. All so I could pay off medical bills from cancer. Just as we're almost done, hubby has a heart attack, then 10 months later a stroke. They've paid our bills for 8 months while waiting for retirement to kick in and never once complained. I hope I'm that good a parent !
My toxic trait is that I think he will fall madly in love with me the moment he sees me! 🤩
I remember that, for the first 10 years of our relationship, I drove a hoopty jalopy of a Volkswagen Eurovan that STILL had more cylinders than my boyfriend’s Toyota Camry. XD I still have that van! …and the boyfriend, lol
This is so true. It needs to be higher on the list so more people can see this.
Funny thing, but you know that paragraph of text that's always under the name of the dish? That's actually what we call a "description" of the dish and its ingredients and preparation. Life hack.
I feel like this entry is in a foreign language XD source: am aged 41
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.
