I love it when people describe something that's too big as "fuck off". like this thing is so large. leave.

TIL that New York City has a genetically diverse rat population. ‘Uptown’ rats are different from ‘Downtown’ rats, and every neighborhood has their own distinct rats.

In between the credit card scams and incomprehensible mobile games and pleas to soak my feet in olive oil like we've all come to expect, a significant percentage of the tumblr "ads" I've been getting are just AI generated videos of ppl doing blood meridian shit to theirselves with knives and needles and such. I haven't looked at any of them long enough to ascertain what product and/or service is being sold.

[natalieironside]

Maybe this is a viral marketing campaign for tumblr premium. Staff is like "Pay us to block ads or you're gonna see what we do to freeloaders around here"

[natalieironside]

Tumblr is a webbed sight where you can't post tits but if you pay for ad space you can post snuff and gore

[ninefoldrin]

You can pay to force anyone to watch you walk around pissing everywhere and not be able to block you.

You can pay to advertise "the tiktok of sex."

You can advertise ANYTHING on tumblr! But god forbid a trans woman post fully clothed transition timeline photos. God forbid you show a bare boob occasionally to only be seen by a few people following you.

[basic-bamboo]

God forbid you draw a picture of Black bunnyboys with big bellies

[natalieironside]

Oh, and also there is The Bible. So much of that all over everywhere. Some group of people is paying umpteen pasquillion dollars to make sure tumblr users are aware of The Bible. Like none of the ads I've seen mention any specific congregation or denomination, it's just Hey guys here's Jesus. And here is Bible. In case u didn't know.

That's what's for sale on tumblr: Snuff, gore, scams, and the Bible. Real one-stop shop.

I must say that I am deeply deeply mistrustful of people who seem a bit too enthusiastic about increasing my awareness of The Bible, on account of all the different stuff that's happened over the past 2000 years

It feels cool to be "in" on celebrity gossip before anyone else. I ran into Californian Condor V9 and looked her up on the condor lookup website. It says her current mate is dead and she has no kids but I saw her with a new man AND a juvenile.

[taciturn-nerd]

OP I hope you don't mind but I made a tabloid cover out of this

I used two more condor photos by Andrew Orr and Alam Clampitt from peregrinefund.org

Gotta use the skills I learned from making tabloids out of the Jane Austen novels somewhere right?

Great, now I feel like I'm bird shaming. Congrats V9 on your new family!

Making this made me realize that Jerott's thought process is definitely like "no it would be crazy if Lymond were down to kiss dudes and I wasn't his first choice", which is actually so funny.

Anyway, let's all see if I can manage to finish all eight pages of this, a task I have started and stopped three times in the last five years.

remember when websites were written on purpose, and not generated by autocomplete in the instant you run the web search? anyway, unrelated, this webpage purporting to relay expert knowledge on which plants are safe for my snake's tank just told me I would know if he was biting them and getting irritated because he would start pawing at his mouth.

[tarragonthedragon]

i mean, that sure would be a sign something was wrong

it is very instructive to play both silent hill and resident evil videogames because they are very similar except for how silent hill is good and resident evil is stupid. it helps you figure out what is stupid in a video game and what is good

for example, in silent hill games, you are confronted with many weird baroque puzzles you have to solve to proceed, because that is the dark and creepy and confrontational nature of the world you are in. in resident evil games, you are confronted with weird baroque puzzles you have to solve because apparently, separate from and unrelated to the ongoing zombie apocalypse, the raccoon city designers designed the subway station map so that if you insert a red jewel into the correct diamond shaped recess, a drawer opens that contains a live hand grenade

I've seen this in person, it is friggin' HUGE and quite eerie, depending on the angle.
