I can't stress enough how much I miss StumbleUpon

[zevveli]

StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 1/2, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 1/2 were interspersed so that they happened in the order they actually happened.

[redpandarascal]

stumbleupon not existing anymore can be directly traced to a dramatic decline in my mental health, I could do a thesis on it.

[musashi]

bestie stumbleupon very much still exists its just called cloudhiker now. i use it all the time.

[lesbiassoon]

mini compilation of suggestions from the replies:

The Bored Button - "Press the Bored Button and be bored no more."

The Useless Web

Cloudhiker - "Discover the most interesting, weird and awesome websites of the Internet" (not really a rebrand, it's a different person running it but they have the same intention in mind)

Astronaut.io - "These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you)."

Marginalia - "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed."

As is tradition in tumblr culture the locals unearth the corpse of a long deceased figure and drag it across the streets merrily, laughing at what is preserved of the person’s words. This custom, seen as morbid in other cultures, is instead done gleefully and with an unmatched enthusiasm

“The state came to massacre, it wasn’t a [police] operation. They came directly to kill, to take lives,” one woman in Penha Complex told the AFP news agency.

“There are people who have been executed, many of them shot in the back of the head, shot in the back. This cannot be considered public safety,” said 36-year-old resident and activist Raul Santiago.

Brazil’s Justice Minister Ricardo Lewandowski said President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is “horrified” by the scale of fatalities and surprised that such an operation went ahead without prior knowledge of the federal government.

Adding my own previous tags:

I’d sincerely appreciate it if non-Brazilians reblogged this. Media outlets all over the world (and especially in my homeland) will try to sweep this under the rug but the horror has spread nationwide. We call it chacina for a reason.

It would be of great help if other countries and their citizens held Brazilian politicians/figures of authority accountable. Or, at least, acknowledge very publicly that there's an ongoing effort by the Brazilian police force to exterminate black and brown people, especially in Rio.

We still remember the hate you had toward David Hogg for being a traumatized child who watched his classmates be shot to death.

No children are allowed in the Library of Congress.

It's not that kind of library.

In other words...

You are being lied to

again

[madenthusiasms]

Everything published in the US is copied to the Library of Congress; appropriateness for children is not a criteria. Published under copyright is.

In order to read something in the Library of Congress, you must, in order:

1) Be 16+ years old and in possession of ID such as a driver’s license or passport to obtain a LoC card

2) Make an appointment to go to a reading room

3) Know what it is you want to read and which library building it is in so you can fill out a request form when you arrive.

So the chances of a “child” just stumbling over something “inappropriate” that was “put” there by the choice of the head librarian is 100% impossible.

Leavitt seems to believe that if she wears a big enough cross, God can’t hear her breaking the commandment against false witness.

Unattractive Men: "Women should give me a chance, lower their standards, and stop rejecting me just because I'm not physically attractive."

Unattractive Women: "If you don't find me attractive, that's okay. But leave me alone. Don't loudly proclaim that you don't find me attractive when I never did anything that requires you to find me attractive. Don't expect me to alter my appearance in order to be more attractive to you. Don't expect me to be even a little hurt by you not finding me attractive. Don't get offended if I don't find you attractive either. Don't assume that others can't find me attractive. Don't recruit others to not find me attractive. Don't expect me to take it as a favor when someone shows interest in me. Don't pretend to find me attractive as a joke. Don't act like I have less of a right to exist in public just because you don't find me attractive. Don't discriminate against me in professional settings just because you don't find me attractive.

Got into it with some fuckboy on Facebook who said he was worried the new Buffy show would be too woke.

He literally said, "I hate it when they take a good show and turn it woke."

My good sir...

My guy.

My brother in Christ.

It's Buffy. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show that brought you girl power with stakes and lollipops. The show that gave primetime television it's first lesbian kiss. The show that harped on werewolf rights.

Bro. "Woke" is the only way this show could truly continue.

Also, check your usage of Woke. Conservatives have a tendency to misuse it.

I would dearly love for more people to be capable of differentiating between public risk and personal risk.

Examples: drinking is a personal risk. Drinking and driving is a public risk. Going scuba diving is a personal risk. Running a scuba shop with faulty equipment is a public risk. Riding a bicycle without a helmet is a personal risk. Not maintaining public transport safety standards is a public risk. Foraging for mushrooms is a personal risk. Advertising a mushroom identification app that uses shoddy AI is a public risk. Elective surgery is a personal risk. Not wearing a mask in a doctor's waiting room when you are sick with a contagious illness is a public risk.

I could go on just about forever here. But it's a really important distinction and it drives me nuts when they get conflated, and it's so common.
