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.

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.

One of our pet sitters- sorry, "leased servants," in cat terms- once remarked how she didn't know we had two cats. We had questions, because we only have one cat.

I sat a cat for a neighbor and I was so afraid the cat had gotten out somehow because I could not find her. Just before they get home she walks by like everything was fine the entire time.

Currently house sitting a neighbors cat. Spend 10 minutes with him 4 or 5 times a day, feed him and lock him indoors after 10:00PM to keep him safe from larger wildlife: dogs, mongooses & boar. He waits around for my attention all day, but come 10:00 he’s nowhere to be found. I moved it up to 9:00 and he ran & hid. Now I just go over around 10:00, shake the jar of treats and wait about 30 minutes for him to show up. From then on, it’s a battle of wits to get him indoors and secured. Rinse & repeat for the next ten days!!

Try not letting him out the visit before the 10pm one? Just an idea. Although cats are smart and he might figure it out. Worth a try though

My mom had a friend that we used to cat sit for and it was the same thing. They would be gone for like a week or two and we would go in and feed the cat, change the water clean up the kitty litter box but never see the cat. We would check all over and couldn't find her but we knew she was there because the food would be gone. The lady my mom was friends with would come home and the cat would be waiting for her the minute she came in. Damn cats!!!!

I used to have three boys. Ebenezer would ignore visitors and go about his business. Leonard would give a stranger a couple of minutes to settle in, and then Leonard would curl up in the stranger's lap. My mother visited for a weekend and Tom spent the whole time behind the washer & dryer

When my son and his wife bought a new house their cat hid for about 5days they looked everywhere no cat. She came out because she was hungry and they had never found her hideaway.

I used to be a professional pet sitter, I looked after 2 cats for 5 years and never met them once. They were so good at hiding, every visit I’d look for them and could never find them.

Happened to me too. I was supposed to look after my sisters cat, but after one day he ran out and disappeared. I felt terrible, and the little beast let me have time enough to tell them I lost their cat. It took him almost an hour to show up after they came home.

This happened to me. Mom didn't see the cat the whole time I was gone, he appeared as soon as I got home. That evening, he deliberately sat on her lap with his back to me.

Our cat very selective who could see him while we have visitors. Event worse with sitters.
Phil Green 2 years ago
Ours is the same! Our house-"sitter" popped round twice a day and never saw the cat once. She knew there was a cat, because the food was eaten, never saw the cat. The cat tries to stop me going to work every morning by sitting on my clothes, climbing with my ties, sitting, purring and showing me how pretty she is. She waits patiently for me to come home. Hates everyone else!
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.
#13
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.

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'd match, date and marry her on the condition that our second child be named Optimus Prime. Ohhh, I live for the day when the kids argue and I'm on the phone so I can go "Yeah, Megatron and Optimus are at it again. Em honey, could you please take that fusion cannon away from Meg? You remember the energy surges the last time that happened, right? XP

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.

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.

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.

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 !
