1969.........

[harperhug]

Yes, when the original post is deleted from the server (not just the blog, but the Tumblr servers), there is no root post for notes to be added onto, and also no root post for time to be counted from, so it starts from zero. Most computer operating systems use Unix, which was launched in 1971 with t.he epoch date of midnight on January 1, 1970 as 1. Therefore zero is one second behind that date: December 31, 1969. Also, very unfortunately, this also means nobody except you and anyone you reblog it to will see this explanation, as you cannot open the notes to see comments when there are no notes.

tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it

[interpolationz]

this is one of my favorite bits about tumblr

the users seem to actually prefer text posts to anything else, and treat it as a chore to play a video especially with sound

Sometimes it’s hard to read fanfic when you’re studying herbalism.. when they have the character preparing a tincture to use that same DAY!!?

Baby those dried herbs need to sit in that jar with high proof alcohol for at LEAST a month!

That’s why before the use of calendars ppl use to prepare their tinctures either on the new moon or full moon. A a full moon cycle is usually 28 days or so. And they would give the moon names so it’s easier to remember when/what month said tincture was bottled.

This is also why herbal medicine is prepare in small batches. You have to take your time preparing your bottles. Making sure everything is clean so you don’t end up with mold. Diluting your grain alcohol. Heckkk knowing when to pick your herbs for max potency! Drying your herbs! That takes a lot of time too!

I didn’t mean to rant lol

No, this explains literally everything to me, thank you.

Well, you know, some bathroom graffiti offers insight.

[madfishmonger]

Red marker handwriting on a bathroom wall. Text reads:

“Boss made a dollar Granddad made a dime But that was a poem From a simpler time.

Boss made a thousand Gave pa a cent But that penny paid the mortgage Or at least it paid the rent

Now Boss makes a million And gives us jack Smugly blames the workers For the labor that he lacks.”

As someone with multiple bilingual friends where English is not the first language, may I present to you a list of actual incidents I have witnessed:

Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.

Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”

Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.

Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.

Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.

Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.

Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”

Bilingual characters are great but if you’re going to use a linguistic blunder, you have to really understand what they actually blunder over. And it’s usually 10x funnier than “Ooops it’s hard to switch back.”

Someone on Reddit the other day made a post in English that included the word “kobber.” From context I inferred they meant “copper” but looked up a definition for “kobber” just in case.

It’s Norwegian for copper.

In all honesty, if you’re learning a language and hear a word that sounds like and shares the same definition as a word in your language, you could easily assume it’s also spelled that way.

Opt-out "features" keep coming out on everything. I have to comb through settings on every new app/device to reclaim as much privacy and control as they will allow me to. Everything keeps becoming more "user friendly" at the expense of user control. Its becoming near impossible to buy basic electronics that don't come with a useless computer attached that will inevitability fail and brick your appliance.

[thegayestdrunk-deactivated20251]

It's also spreading places it shouldn't be. new Cars that have subscription services for basic use. Kitchen appliances that need to be hooked up via Bluetooth to work... And NONE of it can be repaired. Nobody is allowed to fix their own electronics. You have to send it back to the manufacturer, just so you can get a "refurbished" device. We are living in a time of Planned Obsolescence and we are really fucking tired of it.

"Why is the world [western governments] all of a sudden trying to control us with mass surveillance?"

It's not all of a sudden. They've been trying to do this for years.

And people have been fighting it, for years. People have also been warning you, for years.

You were warned that Net Neutrality was super important. You were warned that COPPA and KOSA weren't what lawmakers said they were. People tried to tell you that banning apps would set dangerous precedent for the internet, and that they'd be coming for your VPNS. People tried to tell you that big tech companies trying to block ad-blockers and selling your data were bad things. People even tried to tell you that it was weird for supermarkets to be collecting mass amounts of data from your purchases to advertise to you, and that it was super weird for places like Walmart to need facial recognition cameras on top of that. You just didn't listen.

And you didn't push back.

And now we're here.

That said, boycott any site that wants you to upload your ID- for the love of the gods don't give them that shit it WILL get hacked/sold- and make some noise about this bullshit. We need to make it clear that we won't just lay down and take this.
