Normalize going into people’s ask boxes and ask them random ass questions.

Tumblr used to be so much fun with all the asks (anonymous or otherwise), and we need to bring those back, especially now that we finally have a half-decent blocking feature in place.

Ask people things! Message them! Don’t let tumblr inbox die! It’s one of the features that made tumblr tumblr.

I think this is the best scientist photograph I have ever seen.

[shellysbees-blog]

But people didn’t believe him on reddit. So Watterson made the photo sequence into a gif.

[moonlit-hedge]

Here’s the gif for anyone curious.

[siren-kitten-his-deactivated202]

I had to go through the notes to find the gif. Not because I didn’t believe him but because I wanted to see it.

It's always "how would this fat character be strong and athletic"

And not "how would this dehydrated skinny character even survive with the amount of physical exertion they go through"

[clockworkdragonffxiv]

Throw in that most actual strongmen and people built for raw physical power tend to be rather stocky and have buildups of fat and muscle around the midsection. Like Andre the Giant, who was quite portly and also could manhandle bodybuilders like they were little boys.

love it when people link wikipedia pages instead of explaining the point. The url alone conveys so much disdain and contempt. Here is the information you desire, i found it with ease.

[queerofthedagger]

yeah yeah having a crush is embarassing but have you ever watched yourself develop a new category 5 character obsession in real time. agonizingly humiliating shit

When I fail to respond it's an homage to letters getting lost at sea

I knew english didn't really have an equivalent for "bon appétit", like every other language that I know some of, but I just discovered that they don't have a "bon voyage" either, they just borrow the french one directly. And this is not a french vs english thing either. Swedish, that is a germanic language quite distantly related to english and has no relation to french, still has standardised expressions for both, as does finnish which as fuck-all to do with any of the aforementioned.

Every language that I can claim to even roughly understand has some way of expressing "I hope you enjoy your meal" and "I hope you have a good journey" and english is just like "idk idc eat shit and die."

[homunculus-argument]

okay let's take a poll about this:

I'm an english-only speaker and that's not true

I'm an english-only speaker and this is true

I speak another language and OP is right, they don't

I speak another language and OP is wrong, they do

I ain't touching that. Show results, please

I'm an English-speaker only (except for just barely enough French to qualify as being able to read it, which was required for my Masters in English. You could use a dictionary on the translation test, but you couldn't look up every word, since there was a time limit).

But anyway, I put that this is true, because in modern English it is.

However, up through the Middle Ages, English had a stock phrase which literally expressed a wish that the other person would enjoy divine protection on a journey or undertaking. It was "God be with you," and over time was shortened to "Goodbye."

[bemusedlybespectacled]

I said English-only speaker even though I’m like a B1 in German but ehhh but I would argue that modern English has both

like sure, they’re not necessarily all two word phrases, but “dig/tuck in” serves the same purpose as “bon appetit” and “drive safe”/“have a nice trip”/“good luck have fun don’t die” serve the same purpose as “bon voyage”

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

forgive the version of you that didn’t know any better

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

forgive the version of yourself that knew better but did it anyway. forgive every version of yourself. we are constantly learning from our mistakes.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

forgive the version of you that didn’t know what to do and could not have foreseen what the right choice was, if there even was one. forgive the version of you that made a choice and regretted it.
