this is a fun post because people will say how many they have in the tags then you get to figure out which ones.

what is it like to grow up always in the same house?

what is it like?

to have the same window

same tree

same stars?

same ceiling while you're lying in bed not sleeping

same kitchen

same bathroom down the same hall same light switch?

maybe the walls are different colors now

maybe your parents updated the kitchen

maybe the bushes hide the neighbors now. the old shed got torn down. your dad started a garden five years ago.

but

you learned to tie your shoes on those front steps

and those are still your front steps!

what is it like?

if they're gonna remake The Princess Bride, it should open with a kid sick in bed scrolling on his phone. his grandpa arrives with a gift--it's a DVD player with a disc already inside. grandpa hooks it up to the TV and presses play. and we all just watch the original 1987 film again.

yes, I know the difference between genAI totally generating fake things out of thin air and specific machine learning projects based on a focused dataset. yes, the journalists and the moneybags are intentionally conflating the two things because the public does not totally understand.

my field (very basic ecology and morphotaxonomy, hi) inherently benefits from neither genAI NOR machine learning, and is now essentially dead, as all of the remaining money has been shunted to the former two. I know there are uses for machine learning, and that's great, but you can't use it for my thing, and now my thing is going away in favor of this stuff, whether or not it is "AI" and whether or not anyone wants it or benefits from it (my lab certainly did not lol).

forgive me if I am not mentioning the inherent value of machine learning on other things every time, I'm frustrated. this is now the ONLY science we get to have, and I'm tired of people musing that machine learning will do my thing too someday. no, it won't.

Hello, tumblr! I saw something on here the other day that worried me, so I decided to Do Science about it. But I can't do it alone: I need your help to build the dataset!

Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

If I get 10,000 posts in my dataset before August 31st 2026, I will post my preliminary findings then. I won't feel comfortable calling my findings "settled" before 2027, unless I get over 50,000 posts.

Tumblr Science FAQ, round 1

What's your hypothesis, OP?

I am not talking about that unless I have results to share. That would bias the results.

I did write them down and I did share them with a trusted contact who can prove that I wrote them down the same day I made this post. (While I did so before I made this post, I am not sure they will be able to provide proof of that, because I did so on the same day.)

OP are you interested in...?

Do you have to click through to see the post? Does the clickthrough contain the words "mature content"? Then yes.

OP are you interested if the post is about...?

I am interested in the mature content labels, not the content of the post. Is there a clickthrough that contains the words "mature content"? Then yes.
