"Society needs to extract all wealth from the next generation and then expect them to create enough replacement workers so they can do the same thing-"

you're describing a pyramid scheme

The chemical they put on ants and all the other ants think they're dead that's what happened to tumblr except the chemical is unmarketability

Do not fall for the grindset mentality; jerk off and eat a hot pocket to recover spiritually

[greatlordfluffernutter]

Good point. We should jerk off and *throws dart* eat some pork bao. Or if you're vegetarian we could *spins comically sized wheel* eat some samosas. What's truly important is we have to jerk off. Together.

sorry to be brave on the internet but I think food labels should list every single ingredient and that there should be harsher penalties for mislabeling and deceptive labeling

[turtlesandfrogs]

Seconded.

[theelkmaiden]

Do.....do other places not do this?

Myne it's an England thing but I've just grabbed the closest things to me and they both have an extensive list of ingredients.

Hand cream

Turkish delight/Chocolate

Hi! so both of these labels actually have the exact problem we're complaining about!

from label 1:

in the US and EU, this is a generic term meaning "something we put in here to make it smell nice" and there is absolutely NO way of knowing if that is a scent you are allergic to or not. some of these can be a mix of up to 200 distinct components.

from label 2:

i think you can probably see the problem here?

the issue isn't that we don't have ingredient lists. the issue is that "trade secrets" are more important than people's lives, so if a company says that listing the actual ingredients might allow people to copy them, it is legal for them to put "it's a secret, tee hee".

The Most Tumblr Punchline

I've noted before that my favorite punchline on Tumblr is "hang on, gotta look something up/okay that's funny."

Let me explain why:

It is a way to say "I don't get it" without blaming the joke or the teller.

It is a tacit admission of ignorance without shame or judgement.

It assumes responsibility for acquiring the knowledge the respondent doesn't already have.

It cues other people who Don't Get It to do the look-up themselves, allowing them to get that full impact of Getting It without derailing the post with explanations.

It gives subsequent readers, whether or not THEY got the joke, a little frisson of good feelings when they realize that someone else is now In On The Joke.

It not only makes the original joke funnier, it gets funnier the more often it's used.

[prismatic-bell]

I've actually used it when I already knew, but also knew the subject at hand was absurdly niche and wanted to encourage people to look it up.

[jmtorres]

i also enjoy the variant "hang on i gotta look something up"/"hey what the fuck" because sometimes history is just. like that
