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.

"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 The anonymity and relative freedom of content originally made Tumblr a haven for people exploring their sexuality and researching others’ experiences.
#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.

When is there not traffic in our city? My bbf lives on the north side. If the suns up it's like crossing through Mordor to go see him.

It also depends on what people having going on in their lives. My friend that lives 1 hour from me, and drives Uber, will clock out and swing by to see me when he does a drop off in my town. My other friend that lives 10 minutes from me I rarely see because he's a new dad and works 2 jobs.

Look at the life of each friend. Friend 1 works full time, has kids, and is caring for her elderly parents. Friend 2 is a SAHM who's kids are in school and she has time to do whatever. Put more thought and effort into being empathetic to peoples situations.

Umm... some people use all their "spoons" functioning. It's not necessarily a lack of effort or being a poor friend. Many people do, in fact, become exhausted and overwhelmed. Maybe you could be a good friend and accommodate visiting them???

Same here...my ( ex) best friend came on weekend like 10 km from my home,posting photos all day long but didn't called nor answered mines. My ( new) best friend, who lives 1000 km from me, did a 200 km détour on his way back home after dropping his wife and autistic son on the best care center he found in France for a short stay that will help their son, just to spend one hour with me, eating a crêpe at home and driving all night to get in time at work. That's what being a trully good person is

This is so true!!! When my hubby and I were just friends he had to move to another city for a short time and we still spoke on the phone every day and texted. He would call me when he was on the road in between sales calls and we were just friends at the time. People make the effort for people they really care about!

Truth. I have a similar situation, and finally realized that the one who doesn't have time, actually should have more free time than the other. So I'm not putting anymore effort into I wish I had time, anymore.

I had this situation with guys I would date. They'd complain I live too far away (45min train ride) and of course we'd break up. Ended up meeting a guy that lives in Australia and we were long distance for 5 years. We now live together. If someone in your life doesn't make an effort, don't bother making an effort for them

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.

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 !
