I’ve been on tumblr a long time and have seen like every meltdown-causing update (including when they slightly changed the blue background) and normally I haven’t really had any qualms, but this update just feels especially odd

I genuinely didn’t understand what the change even was after reading the update post until I saw a post with multiple add-ons. Shit just looks ODD

I commissioned my college friend to draw them and AHHHH!!!!! 😭💕💕💖💖

yeah i like to give my blessing to the most pathetic looking weak little knight at the tournament. she can’t even look me in the eye when i give her my flower and she stutters out that she’ll do her best or something of the like. i think its funny when she has to cry and beg my forgiveness and i get to say “such a shame, i suppose my hand in marriage will have to go to someone else…” and then i get to hear her whimper like a dog. ive done this like 6 times alrea-

did she just win.

so so many fictional characters i love i know i would HAAAAAAAAAAAATEEEE as people. but when they are within the context of their little worlds and dealing with people that are not me i luv them

[sadclowncentral]

for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the “question only a human can answer” which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?

Day 4 favorite moment

[ryan-sometimes]

If you're at my funeral and you think it's a little boring, just spice it up. Drink a little too much. Flirt with a few people here and there. Start a fight. It's what I would've wanted

[hardwrench]

to me, correctly using 5+ commas in a single sentence is like perfectly executing a combo in a fighting game. to me.

[little-theatre-fairy]

if you think a sentence needs 5+ commas it should be two sentences

[hardwrench]

it’s not about what the sentence needs, i’m afraid, nor is it about economy, clarity, or style. it’s about winning, little-theatre-fairy.

I don’t think I ever posted these! My Zuko sketchpage from last year when I was still figuring out how to draw our beloved moody teen

go to settings > dashboard > interface and turn on show timestamps. please. do this for me i'm begging

[atthebell]

i'm so serious about this. without timestamps you don't know when a post was originally made. every day on this website i see people reblogging years-old articles, freaking out like something is recent news. i see people getting slammed for shit they long apologized for that's getting dragged out as if it just happened. old outdated science and history posts, recall warnings from five years ago, politics discussions that make no sense now.

this isn't just an issue with tumblr's settings, although the fact that timestamps are opt-in is fucking bonkers. people do not read dates on posts, on articles, on anything, and behave as if everything they see on the internet, now over 30 years old, is brand new and currently relevant. look at dates! remember that things from 2022 are not as relevant as they might appear to be! stop mindlessly repeating things you don't even pay enough attention to to know when they happened!

[atthebell]

this is the only post of mine i've ever actually wanted to blow up please use your big beautiful brains to actually know when something happened
