@hannzopie
playing spot the newcomer is easy because they’re the mfs who censor everything
“unalive” “k!ll” you can be free here. loosen up
i dont know how to break this to you but saying the word kill will not influence that
I've got another wild surprise for you about how Tumblr works.
I'm so glad to see @firefox-official can be trusted, thanks to those important blue internet checkmarks
Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care
Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck
Well, OP, I’m officially invested in this shit. Your whiny ass is doing self care if I have to drive to your goddamn house and do it for you.
By Talos this can't be happening
reblog this everyone i wanna see what happens when op’s reverse-hubris forces them to practice basic self care.
why? because it’s funny and completely possible actually so good fucking luck op
I figured out roughly how many notes it's been getting per day and multiplied that by the number of days left until the end of 2023
If we keep it going at this rate we'll be far past 666k
IMPORTANT
Okay so clearly I've underestimated y'all
So how about we make this more interesting?
I will practise self care if this post reaches 666k BY THE END OF 2022
Op you have fuckethed with the devil this post has gained 30,000 notes since I reblogged it last night
OP I hope you are ready to practice some self care because if there's one thing the gremlins of tumblr love it's a challenge.
i normally hate these "oh noo don't give me a ton of notes" posts but this one? this one i love.
posts that have 666k notes TO ME. and hopefully to you, too, OP. 💜
Let's all practice self care if this post hits the magic number…
YALL HELP US
@bigfootshonkers @dollopheadsandclotpoles @gwaine-the-rock-johnson @hannahhook7744 @knightofwoodsbeyond @reality-schmality @thirteenthedoctor @yoursassybookwormfriend if you want to of course @fuckyeahsnackables
Op telling us we'll never make it to 666k by the end of 2023 (only having to make it 2022 after all):
Us:
I was going to wait until y'all hit the mark, But I feel like I should say this now
When I made this post, it was supposed to be a joke
I mean, none of my posts ever get more than 20 notes if I'm lucky, so what are the odds of one reaching 666k? Impossible, haha
But then, something happened, something I didn't expect
People actually began to... like it? And... reblog? And comment?
Before I knew it, my notifications were swarmed with comments after comments after reblogs after comments all on this one post
Then, still in the mindset of this being a joke, I realised I'd made the goal too easy, so I upped the stakes
But... the notes just got more frequent from there
And it started to hit me just what was happening
For a while, I was overwhelmed with a feeling
A feeling I wasn't used to
It was like... all of a sudden... I mattered...
My existance was actually noteworthy
People actually... cared?
It wasn't a game anymore, it was a race to assure a stranger on the Internet that they were actually worth something
Hundreds of people all gathering in one online place to help out
Leaving messages and well wishes
Making me smile
Making me laugh
Funny comments
Jokes
Fun facts
Even simple comments
It all suddenly felt so real
This was never a joke to you
This was important
And I won't let any of that go in vain
So... stay tuned I suppose
I'll look after myself, and I'll post proof of it too
I'll catalogue every time I put my health first
Physical and mental
I'll acknowledge my bad days and celebrate my good days
But most of all
I won't forget this
Any of this
Ever

We did it babes we successfully bullied someone into self-care. This is the most Tumblr thing that has ever happened.
Congrats, OP. I'm proud of you!
Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn
1. You are responsible for your own media experience.
2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.
3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.
4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.
5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.
6. Content creators are not your parents and owe you nothing, not even a breakdown on why their content isn’t problematic. You don’t get to demand a dissertation denouncing any and everything unhealthy in a piece you don’t like. Move on.
7. Tagging is a nicety but not an obligation. You can message people, politely, and ask them to tag things, and many people will, but understand that it’s their blog and they aren’t obliged to say yes. Unfollow and block when you need to. Circling back to number 1, you are responsible for curating your own experience.
8. Don’t be a jerk. Remember at the end of the day, there are actual living, breathing people behind each screen name. Don’t say anything you wouldn’t say to someone’s face in real life.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to remember this.
9. Don’t fucking tag hate posts for things with the generic tag for that thing. No one looking at the thing they like wants to see posts from someone who hates it.
Love that you can see the exact moment that Enlightenment™ occurs for this little dude. Good job, you did it.
Right there
What the Fuck??
People think of children as either sweet and innocent or too stupid to cause much trouble and both views are wrong. A child of elementary school age has the moral reasoning and impulse control of a racoon paired with problem solving equal to or superior to an adult’s, yet unbound by the shackles of cautionary experience or awareness of long-term consequence.
This is what allows the children to both create a black market in live bioweapons while still only valuing said weapons at 25 cents.

Reblog to throw a hedge apple in OP's driveway
What the fuck is this eldritch fruit? I'm in.
It's Maclura pomifera, commonly known as the osage orange or hedge apple. It is known to be native only to a small area of Texas and the edge of Oklahoma and Arkansas. Before the invention of barbed wire, it was pruned repeatedly and shaped to make dense impenetrable hedges to contain animals.
The fruits are inedible—not poison, they're just hard and taste bad.
The wood is super-strong, burns hotter than any other wood, and is ideal for making bows!
We should just fill this post with other interesting things as reasons to reblog it
Actually I like this idea, we should do that. Here's my fun fact contribution; actual old English, what one could call Anglo-Saxon (as opposed to, for example, Shakespearean English, which a lot of people call old English but is actually antiquated modern English), is a Germanic language, and modern English shares a lot of roots with German because of that. It was also, at one point, written with runes.
What's up guys, atlatls were weapons used by upper paleolithic hunters and Native Americans! They are throwing sticks which are essentially used as an extra joint+arm section in order to throw spears (called darts when you're talking about atlatls) farther and with more force. Mexican people used them to fight the conquistadors because they were better at piercing armour than arrows. Darts are usually 5-7 feet long and the atlatl stick itself 1-2 feet. (1.5-2.1 meters and 0.3-0.6 meters. idk how y'all like it but I'm american) Done properly atlatl darts can be thrown up to 200 feet! I whittled one once and it was super cool.
I've used an atlatl they fuck
You can use the North Star to approximate your latitude!
To find Polaris, you can use the last two stars in The Big Dipper aka the Pointer Stars to point directly to Polaris. Polaris itself isn’t super bright but the Big Dipper is and that’s normally enough to get you going.
Once you’ve found Polaris, you’re gonna take your hand, stretch your arm out all the way, and measure. Due to the proportions of the human body compared to the sky, when your arm is straight out and you extend your thumb and pinky fingers all the way, the distance from the top of your thumb to the tip of your pinky is equal to about 20 degrees of sky altitude. A closed fist is 10~ degrees and one finger is 2~ degrees.
Stack your hands in whatever configuration works best to get from the horizon to the North Star and add the various partial altitudes. This gives you the altitude of Polaris (or any star you want to check) from your location. And although you can check the altitude of any star, the altitude of Polaris is always equal to your latitude on earth as the observer!
the tobacco mosaic virus which is like a really virulent plant pathogen- it can survive around a year in dead tissue which is fucking incredible tbh and can also survive and spread if infected tobacco is burned. It has a huge fucking host range. It is really economically important. It is also rendered incapable of spreading or causing harm by milk
rusts have up to 5 distinct reproductive stages. they are of huge economic importance, and one of them is partially responsible for the price of coffee (coffee rust which is incredibly destructive on arabica coffee but not so much on robusta) many rusts have alternate hosts. they can’t be cultured in labs.
Earthquakes can be caused by volcanoes, and monitoring their frequency is a technique used to predict eruptions. A few very small, almost imperceptible earthquakes beneath a dormant volcano are normal. When they jump up to hundreds a day, that's often an indicator of a volcano waking up. Sometimes, instead of several interspersed earthquakes, there will be a continuous one, called a harmonic tremor.
According the Therese de Dillmont (author of Complete Book of Needlework, published by DMC) the best thing to use for invisibly mending fine fabric, like silk stockings, is a human hair - preferably white or red. White & red human hair are thicker than other colors in Europeans.
I have plenty if you need some.
If you can’t find a place on your blog for Patrick Stewart in a bathtub dressed like a lobster, then your blog probably doesn’t deserve such majesty anyway.
It has returned to my dash and I cannot fight the compulsion to reblog…
the patrick lobster appears only once in a thousand years, reblog for good luck
I dreamt that there was a new meme that went, “If I dids it, I dids it. If I didsn’t, I didsn’t.” There was a third line, but I forgot what it was.
happy to report i’m back on my bullshit
and a rare variant
HOW DID YOU KNOW THEY WERE CAT MEMES IN MY DREAM
>:3€
THAT’S IT, THAT’S THE MEME FROM MY DREAM
Asking for directions
Oh… - zooms in - Ohh…
That puts a whole different spin on it. It’s amazing either way, but now I need a moment.
[Image description:
Image 1. Digital black and white art. An astronaut is standing on the surface of the moon next to an angel— a young girl with wings and a halo. Together they are holding and looking at an unfolded map, and the girl is pointing to her right as if giving directions. The astronaut’s helmet has a small crack in its glass.
Image 2: Tumblr tags that say “# i just realized # the helmet is cracked # the astronaut is dying # their angel is guiding them to the next life # but it’s happening slowly # it’s not immediate # so they need to find their way there # AH THIS PIECE”. /End ID.]
oh to have a silly little house like this...
the inside has to look like this.
the peasant in me just thinks how hard it'd be to clean.
So.
Y'all know that one meme of the tank being dumped off the ship saying "I go kill submarine for the motherland"?
If not, here it is:
The origins behind this image are utterly fascinating.
This is not a soviet built tank despite what the meme implies, it is actually a chinese built tank, a T-69-2 to be more specific.
What you don't see in the image are the further 24 tanks that are also on the barge about to dropped into the water as well.
These tanks are being dropped in on personal orders by Queen Sirikit, the queen mother of thailand.
No, for those worried, this was not them discarding old unusable tanks, at least in this instance. Rather, each of these tanks have selected and prepared to make an artificial reef. Rather than melt them down for scrap, in 2010 there were pushed into the water off the gulf of siam to create a home for hundreds of sea creatures. All the internals are gutted, including the engine and transmission, don't worry.
If you looks a little closer into the image, you'll see that all the hatches are open or removed, probably to make room for sea life.
If you want anymore info, I'd suggest checking out ConeOfArc over on youtube, he has a lot more on this and many more fascinating subjects such as the origins behind the panzer of the lake.
Y'all find this as cool as I do, right? Like, this shit is just so damn cool. As a wee bit of a tank nerd, it does make me sad that these are being dumped never to be seen again, but at least their still being used for something rather than being turned into tin cans.
Call that a fish tank
You can make one here

How could we forget.
why do all the words sound heavier in my native language?
— @metamorphesque, Yoojin Grace Wuertz (Mother Tongue), Still Dancing: An Interview With Ilya Kaminsky (by Garth Greenwell), Jhumpa Lahiri (Translating Myself and Others), @lifeinpoetry
˗ˏˋ☕ˎˊ˗
[Image transcripts:
Image 1: why do all the words sound heavier in my native language? scratch that. why did I choose to seek refuge in a language of another instead of training my tongue to bear the heaviness of my own?
#i can never speak of how i feel in my native language #the words are too heavy to roll off my tongue
Image 2: Yi writes: “It is hard to feel in an adopted language, yet it is impossible in my native language.” As every bilingual person and translator knows, there are certain words - a feeling, a way of being - that is absent in one language but perfectly brought to life in another. A word that, by existing, gives permission to be. What if you need that which does not exist in your language?
Image 3: [Q] And how did you start writing in English?
[A] … I chose English because no one in my family or friends knew it; no one I spoke to could read what I wrote. I myself did not know the language, it was a parallel reality, an insanely beautiful freedom. It still is.
Image 4: But a language, even a foreign language, is something so intimate that it enters inside of us despite the fissure. It becomes a part of our body, our soul. It takes root in the brain, it emerges from our mouths. In time, it nestles in the heart.
Image 5: I write to you in a distant tongue. When I speak Spanish, I feel like I’m trying on shorts I know won’t fit. They might button up, but I muffin top, and I’m painfully aware. I slip on English like a nighty; I’m comfortable when it’s loose, it breathes with my body. It doesn’t hurt me, at least not always.
