It might be hard to imagine a time when people lived without social media apps. But before Instagram, TikTok, or even Twitter became huge, there was Tumblr: A place where creativity, fandoms, and chaotic humor thrived. It was more than just a website, it is a cultural phenomenon that shaped the way people interacted online.
Not a small part of my life. Sometimes I feel it’s only my cat that keeps me going. No matter how blue I am, she’s there to snuggle with me.
Tumblr is a microblogging platform that allows users to share photos, music, videos, links, GIFs, text, and so much more. It isn’t just about posting content, it is about expressing yourself in the most unique ways possible.
Yes please, body positivity isn't even bordering on toxic positivity anymore. Just let everyone be without constant judgment
''Everyone is attractive in their own way, unless they're fat. Then they are automatically ugly scum.'' - Society.
Unlike other platforms at the time, Tumblr gave users full control over their profiles. You could customize your theme, layout, colors, fonts, and even add music to your page. It wasn’t just a feed of posts, it was a digital scrapbook of your personality. Following others meant immersing yourself in their aesthetic, thoughts, and creative worlds, making every scroll an adventure.
Out of context but I think this the defination of what you call 'a healthy relationship.'
A kilometre is 1000 meters, a liter of water weighs 1kg (1000g, by the way) and is also 1000cm³. You need energy of one calorie to warm it up 1 degree (Celsius). It boils at 100 degrees and freezes at 0. More? Atmospheric air pressure is 1 bar, which is incidentally the pressure a 10m (1000cm) high water column would generate. You can basically convert everything to everything. Isn't metric beautiful? And no inch, lbs, banana or football field in sight.
Banana is still an official unit in the metric system. It is officially used to determine scale when no measuring instruments are available or wanted.

I’m in the US and I regularly work with other engineers in the UK. This is our usual pre-meeting banter. My favorite part of my day.
In 1999, the Mars Climate Orbiter was lost because technicians entered imperial, rather than metric units.
Load More Replies...Just curious how you count in imperial how far the lightning is? Coz in metric you count every 3 seconds for 1km. When you hear the sound after your count, you divide it in three and get to know how far lightning striked. 3 sec = 1km, 6 sec = 2km etc etc.
Count the seconds and divide by five. That's the distance in miles.

I'm going over to metric when I can get in the Kilometer High Club.
I prefer the drunk lobster remark instead of the drunk mathematician FVkCc8SXsA...38-png.jpg
Actually the mile is a unit of one thousand paces of a marching Roman legion. (Double pace) "mille" = 1000.
So the British use the wonderful metric system, I love it but what the heck is the weight of 10 stone, or the length of furlongs? Hmm.
See my comment above. Sumerians are to blame. For trade, they found base 60 to be best. It can be divided by 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,and 30.

For some reason, we choose to keep using a system based on English units that evolved from Roman, Carolingian, and Saxon units. Whereas, most of the rest of the world uses a system, that actually makes logical sense.
My friend from England loves driving in the United States, they us miles there too.
Actually, it was the Romans. Their armies, as they marched along, had somebody counting. Mille (thousand) was a thousand paces. With a 5'8" soldier (sorry about non-metric) carrying a pack, a pace (left, right) was 5.280 feet. So every thousand paces was a mile. Had their spaghetti harvests been better (sorry, anachronism), the mile would be bigger. The distance from the North Pole (through Paris!) to the equator, is 10,000 kilometers, which gives us the meter, the cubic centimeter, the gram, etc. But angles are still courtesy of the Sumerians, who used base 60. 60 is divisible by 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,15,20, and 30, great for merchants.
I can convert between metric and Imperial but I won't when people ask me to. Learn it yourself dammit!
This New York-based platform, a mix of microblogging and social networking, is the brainchild of David Karp and Marco Arment. Launched in 2007, it quickly gained popularity among artists, writers, and fandom communities. Its massive success led to a billion-dollar acquisition by Yahoo! in 2013.
My people ! This is terrible, I need to clean the dishes, but I can't.
At its peak, Tumblr was an absolute giant. As of July 2019, the platform had surpassed 472 million registered accounts. That’s almost half a billion users creating, sharing, and reshaping internet culture every single day. Whether it is meme trends, social movements, or deep-dive discussions on pop culture, Tumblr plays a role in it all.
I had a couple of Jehovah Witnesses who were super persistent at coming to my door over and over again, even though I tried nicely to tell them I wasn’t interested. Last visit, my kitty managed to slink past my legs to the front porch to check out the visitors directly. One of the ladies visibly recoiled, saying, “Oh! A black cat!” Strangely, they never came back to my door after that. I’d call THAT lucky!
So, who’s actually using Tumblr? While it has a diverse audience, it turns out that 61% of new Tumblr users are Gen Z. In fact, 48% of all active users also belong to Gen Z. This generation has embraced Tumblr as a space for self-expression, niche interests, and, of course, a treasure trove of aesthetic posts and nostalgic internet humor.
One of my favorite things about my neighborhood is a little dog who’s name is I kid you not sir Theodore Edward of abtebot he is the goodest boy and loves seeing people his owners mom lives here and she walks him when she has him and everyone loves him we call him thor
One thing Tumblr prides itself on is being a truly inclusive space. Their motto? “Tumblr is whatever you want it to be.” The Verge even describes it as a space where things happen that are utterly unique to any other social network.
I hope you heal from the things you can't atone for because the person you need to ask from atonement from is dead.
If you’ve ever been part of a fandom, chances are you’ve come across Tumblr. According to Mashable, “Fandom’s homeland is Tumblr.” Whether it’s theories about your favorite TV show, deep-dive analyses of books, or endless GIF sets of beloved characters, Tumblr has been the place where fan communities thrive.
Anyone else sometimes blow on cold foods and drinks because their brain wasn't braining? Asking for a friend
With its bizarre text posts, hilarious memes, and wholesome interactions, Tumblr has a way of making you laugh, think, and appreciate the randomness of online culture. Have you ever scrolled through a Tumblr page? Which of these posts gave you the biggest laugh?
Babe I got SO many books that don't fit since we severely downsized our living space a year and a half ago, if you lived close you might never need ask again. (We've been going around with a box in the back of the car filling up little free libraries whenever we pass one that has space)
I once got really depressed riding on the subway when it struck me that any one of the people standing around me might have been the one to post what I had just read earlier.
Had a guy in my apartment complex who didn't have a leg. He had a doormat outside his door that said "hang on i have to put on my leg."
Always be kind. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Seriously.
But the tooth fairy is a public service employee, so probably doing the work of three tooth fairies, huge backlogs, etc.
Ohhh what was the name of this cryptid?? This pic is great lol
So how it worked was a native speaker would sing the songs in their language to give Phil something to work off of and then he basically nailed it from there on out.
You don’t let you baby on the couch🙁He’s not your baby then, he’s just a dog to you. How sad.
Bro I will 100% take you out for a steak dinner and a weird arthouse movie at the Cinematheque. One date, no strings attached. (Note: this offer open to anyone who needs it... but being within driving distance of me [note: my car literally blew up Sunday so "when I have acar" also applies] would help a whole heck of a lot. My partner will probably also come, so you get two dates for the price of one!)
I ate a gummy bear of the floor that had been there for more than 5 seconds
Love the pixar guys, the depths in stories adults and children alike can enjoy
I'm brilliant about thinking of all things I'm maybe going to do... Does that count?
This is me. Of course, it can result in people saying "ooh you don't half scrub up alright".
The biggest-goldiest-fish is also the most civilized and learned. It is totally the bottom left.
