2014 Tumblr wasn’t about whatever Tik Tok thinks it was about. 2014 Tumblr was about overanalyzing Captain America: The Winter Soldier and that one website that let you play Cards Against Humanity online

me on a date: tell me your thoughts on 2014 tumblr them: oh that place? lol that was so cringe I- me, shoving breadsticks into my purse: I have to go

secret government agent: *punches me in the face* SAY IT! me: no government agent: say 2014 tumblr was cringe and the new culture is better! me: *spits blood at the agent’s feet* fuck you

“[whatever Tik Tok thinks it was about]” I came out to have a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now

because 2014 tumblr had the best snemes (snake snail memes)

none of you denying it now would survive the Skeleton War

Beautiful Internet Era Too Good For This World, Too Pure

girls don’t want boys, girls want a return to actually wholesome memes

when I die I want 2020s tumblr to lower me into my grave so you can let me down one last time

I will climb 90-post-per-day blog archives to find 2014 tumblr content. I crave that mineral

this post is the real last meme of 2014

“average site spawns 3 iconic memes a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average site spawns 0 iconic memes per year. 2014 tumblr, which lived outside Plato’s cave & spawned over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

sometimes the best fanfics are written by middle aged adults with years of writing experience who simply know how to craft a good story. but also sometimes the best fanfics are written by a sixteen year old girl with something deeply wrong with her

[cryoverkiltmilk]

#fandoms need both

[anonymousedward]

[ladyananas]

trade secret, the middle aged adults with years of writing experience are just the sixteen year old girl with something deeply wrong with her but all grown up

[bowditch]

sixteen year old girls who feel deeply fucked up: we’re your future. you make it. you get some therapy, get some meds, find new fandom friends, and keep writing. hang in there.

Once on IMDB I saw a “goof” which was that during a scene set in India(?), the light flicker was at the wrong frequency (in hertz). I wish I knew what movie it was to show you guys, I want to say it was some Marvel shit.

I always wondered how this person knew that. Was there an amazing Indian electrician who just instinctively felt the flicker rate was off? Did they go frame by frame and count the flickers per second?

Depending on the movie and the person, watching a movie with someone with a specific knowledge set featured in the movie is either a delight or a terror.

Regular people: Wait, the King has easily stolen potatoes? How do I get in on this?

Internet users who have been stealing potatoes for years: We made a machine that picks so many potatoes and also that machine is free. Enjoy!

Ad agency: you wouldn't steal a movie?

omg so we have 1 seeing dog and 1 blind dog and whenever there's a toy they both want, the seeing dog takes it and just...stands very still. immobile. she KNOWS he will try to wrestle it from her but she has figured out that if she does not squeak it, then he will not find it. leading to this.

"god....grant me the strength to not squeak the squeaky toy"

[podsolfairy]

with adhd/autism it's funny like. people will call you weird all your life, people will bully you for your "outlandish" behaviour, people will criticize literally everything you do as "not normal", BUT THE SECOND YOU GET DIAGNOSED (or suggest you might have it) they're like "huh what but you're so normal, you're literally the most normal person I've ever seen, you're literally so normal and absolutely nothing is wrong with you? why would you have that now all of a sudden???"

It’s so chaotic I love it

[the-privateer]

just so you guys are all aware, the only reason gritty exists is allegedly because the NHL made a rule that every team HAD to have a mascot and were apparently assholes about it. so the fliers made him as a chaotic fuck you. hell the first tweet made on his official account was a “sleep with one eye open” threat towards another mascot for making fun of his design

[0v9]

are we not going to talk about how he launched an entire sheetcake into that man’s face, probably killing him?

Ice age children frolicked in 'giant sloth puddles' 11,000 years ago, footprints reveal

More than 11,000 years ago, young children trekking with their families through what is now White Sands National Park in New Mexico discovered the stuff of childhood dreams: muddy puddles made from the footprints of a giant ground sloth.

Few things are more enticing to a youngster than a muddy puddle. The children — likely four in all — raced and splashed through the soppy sloth trackway, leaving their own footprints stamped in the playa — a dried up lake bed. Those footprints were preserved over millennia, leaving evidence of this prehistoric caper, new research finds.

The finding shows that children living in North America during the Pleistocene epoch (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) liked a good splash. “All kids like to play with muddy puddles, which is essentially what it is,” Matthew Bennett, a professor of environmental and geographical sciences at Bournemouth University in the U.K. who is studying the trackway, told Live Science.

I know he doesn’t love me. How could he love me? And yet something deep inside me can’t help trembling with fear to think that maybe, in spite of everything, he loves me.

We also figured out—the hard way—that the ancients probably cut each layer of linen to the proper shape before gluing them together. For our first linothorax, we glued together 15 layers of linen to form a one centimeter-thick slab, and then tried to cut out the required shape. Large shears were defeated; bolt cutters failed. The only way we were ultimately able to cut the laminated linen slab was with an electric saw equipped with a blade for cutting metal. At least this confirmed our suspicion that linen armor would have been extremely tough. We also found out that linen stiffened with rabbit glue strikes dogs as in irresistibly tasty rabbit-flavored chew toy, and that our Labrador retriever should not be left alone with our research project.
