genuinely curious: if tumblr were to vanish right now, where would you set up your primary internet presence?

twitter/x

mastodon/bluesky/etc

reddit

neocities/other website hosting

traditional blogging (wordpress, wix, squarespace, etc)

spacehey

dreamwidth

tiktok

instagram

pinterest

nowhere, i'm going offline

purposefully picked tumblr-like social media along with some really bit ones although nothing is really like this tbh

what the fuck my best friend is currently playing through the mobile game cut the rope, which came out in 2010 and was originally a one time purchase of $1 for iphone and $2 for ipad. it’s now free with constant ads. it costs $10 a month to remove the ads. if you want to play fucking cut the rope without ads you have to fork over 120 usd per year. to play your toilet game without ads. i think we should start enacting greek myth style punishments on these app developers. they have to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity and the boulder is covered with ads and every time it slips out of their grasp and rolls down the hill there’s an unskippable minute of ads beamed directly into their brain as they jog after the fucking boulder

I think this person on reddit summed up the youtube adblocker situation perfectly. my reaction to this is not "oh man guess I'll watch ads." its, "well, I guess I'll just do something more productive with my time." I highly doubt any adblock user is going to willingly go back to watching ads. so what actually happens is youtube loses a functionally tiny amount of its userbase--because adblockers weren't even losing them a significant amount of money in the first place(!)--and a bunch of adblock users move on to something else. what a fantastic waste of time and effort

gay trans man before the year 1980: "i am a faggot. i am male. i am just like other homosexual men. i am not a woman even though i pretend to be one during the day so i can move through society while living as a man at night."

historians: "well, you see, we can't prescribe modern labels onto people who lived before these labels came into existence. she never said she was trans, did she? she's basically just a woman! we will never know if she would have identified differently."

this reddit post is so good.

a trans guy who is also a butch who dates both men and women-- I aspire to be like this. oh, to play 5d chess with gender.

fascinated by tumblr's new trend of placing a Mature label on every single post that acknowledges, however obliquely, the existence of sex and sex byproducts

[beaft]

idk i just think it's really funny that you can have an url like 'sonics-anal-gape' and that's completely fine but if you say the word 'cum' the moderators will descend implacably from above and crush you like the fist of god

[beaft]

i also think it's funny that this:

is an approved advert that appears regularly on my dash and cannot be filtered or blocked, but this:

requires a warning label lest it corrupt the innocent minds of the tumblr userbase

[libertineangel]

This is missing the extremely important observation that this overwhelmingly happens to posts made by trans people. It's not just staff being weird hypocritical prudes, it's staff seeing any trans person's reference to sexuality being inherently less palatable.

NEW FISH JUST DROPPED

I KNOW that playing God is morally wrong, but holy HELL, it looks fun.

[ninjakittenarmy]

Why is it playing God? We aren’t violating any natural laws. God set the parameters of the universe to allow these things. There’s nothing wrong with it, there’s no hubris in learning more about how to manipulate the universe around us.

[cannibalcaprine-deactivated2024]

We made a whole-ass fish.

[ospreyonthemoon]

The reason this was accidental BTW is because they used paddlefish eggs as a negative control group for a breeding experiment on sturgeons because the scientists, quite naturally, assumed that they were SO unrelated it would be genetically impossible for them to mate. Like. I cannot stress enough to you how these creatures last related ancestors were

140 MILLION YEARS BACK.

If you don't know how far that is, that's basically the start of the cretaceous. Let me simplify that for you even further. Chimpanzees and humans seperated, what, 5 or 6 million years ago?

This is basically like if humans could hybridise with THESE THINGS.

This is the sort of thing that should be impossible. They used those eggs to be ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN.

And then THEY GOT FISH OUT OF IT.

Like. You can quite clearly understand why they didn't think anything would happen. WE ARE MORE RELATED TO BLUE WHALES THAN THESE THINGS.

THE AMERICAN PADDLEFISH AND THE STURGEON ARE SO COMPLETELY UNRELATED THAT THIS IS NOT PLAYING GOD. IF ANYTHING THIS IS AN ACT OF GOD.

THE SCIENTISTS HAD NO BLAME IN THIS BECAUSE NOTHING LIKE THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED BEFORE

It sort of goes against the rules of genetics a bit.

[ospreyonthemoon]

Oh i forgot to add

THESE THINGS, FOR HYBRIDS, HAD A REALLY HIGH SURVIVAL RATING. LIKE 70% OF THEM SURVIVED.

To put that into perspective, getting a blue whale and a squirrel and trying to hybridise them is more sensible, and that wouldn't produce anything but getting you banned from science. Most animals that aren't plants can barely hybridise two degrees away from each other.

BUT THESE TWO ENTIRELY UNRELATED FISH create PERFECTLY HEALTHY HYBRIDS.

the scientists literally had to do the tests AGAIN just to be like "okay this is real right. This is actually like, not a fluke, this works right" and it worked again. They just Can!

@fishyfishyfishtimes sorry if you seen this before, i just thought you might find this interesting

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

I have indeed! Sturddlefish are an old friend, one of the first things I learned about on tumblr :) I love them!! It’s so cool how they came to be!? Sturddlefish mermaids should be like an Easter egg when a sturgeon and a paddlefish mermaid reproduce to be honest.

everything should cost one dollar, ten dollars, or one hundred dollars. a drinky drink is one dollar. a t shirt is ten dollars. rent is one hundred. i might be convinced to allow one thousand dollars for some very big purchases like a house. i get it, you're running a business. i'm not unreasonable.

POLL TIME BABY

How heavy of a sleeper are you?

Very Light: bags, paper, or curtains flapping wakes me up.

Kinda Light: doors squeaking, normal foot steps, or rain wakes me up.

Average: knocks, phone calls, clock or car alarms wake me up.

Kinda Heavy: I sleep through 2+ alarms, and multiple phone calls.

Very Heavy: I sleep through fire alarms, sirens, and a nuclear attack.

THis news is better than gay sex

[buryymeinblack]

wait. this is hilarious. They were contractually obligated to keep it, so when it was universally hated, they added an option to completely erase it from the dashboard without getting in trouble for removing it ...... "snooze tumblr live" is funnier than we thought

Tumblr is downscaling after failing to ‘turn around’ the site

“Our previous approach wasn’t working.”

Guys literally all of this is good news ,..they're gonna be changing their approach to everything and focusing more on core functionality. which we all know this site needs. And they're not downscaling any part of the trust & safety team so moderation should .. at least not be getting any worse

Disabled people should be allowed to exist in public. Yes, I mean all disabled people.

That includes people with tic disorders.

That includes people who smell ‘bad’.

That includes people who can’t help being loud.

That includes people who move ‘strangely’.

That includes people with bulky mobility aids.

That includes people who drool.

That includes people who struggle with incontinence.

We all should get to exist, however that looks, and go out in public, use public transport, do activities outside our homes. And we should be allowed to do those things without being glared at or having ableist things said to us.

[parttimepunner]

Please note this will also include disabled people who get highly distracted by sounds, are sensitive to smells and otherwise may not be compatible with the above through no fault of their own.
