If you think people used to willingly stare off into the distance before smartphones, my dad told me he had this psychology assignment when he was in college in the 80s which was basically

Go to a restaraunt by yourself and eat a meal without a newspaper or journal or anything else to keep you occupied and then write a report about it

Which tells me that this was a way for a professor to inflict psychological torture on their students and that people used to bring little things with them to keep them entertained. Shown by those old pictures of everyone in a trolley reading a newspaper with one hand.

Frankly I think that the human brain has been craving smart phone forever. Perhaps we use it too much at times but if this was 1985 we also wouldn’t be talking to people. We’d just be looking at newspaper or drawing stuff on notepad instead. And the old people would all be shaking their fists about how kids spend too much time looking at that damn TV because yes this discourse has been going on long before smart phone

i bet cavemen were feeling this too. grug eating mammoth bone stew all alone and looking at a bug he put in a cup for this exact purpose

[what-even-is-thiss]

The human brain has the capacity to store information for later

[wyoming-bound]

This is why I never got that whole kids and their phones thing because like...so what? Yeah anyone can eat a meal without watching something, but why would you want to? You can even eat with other people, watch something, and STILL have meaningful conversations with them!

Its literally just an extra little treat for your day, you're already spending time enjoying a meal and savoring food, why not watch a show or video?

20th march, mass Tumblr log off in protest of the reblog update

Remember when we threatened a mass log off to get rid of shapes.inc and then all the shapes.inc ads mysteriously vanished? yeah, let's do that again. On the 20th of march 2026, we tumblr users will log off in protest of the split notes on reblogs. Spread the word!! Reblog!! Tag your moots!!

Side note: tag yapping doesn't seem to count as an addition to the OG post, you can use that to carry out conversations.

Good idea! March 20th? I'm going to do it!

Don't forget to log off of everything you're on, so computers and apps. And a word of advice: do it. This could really make a difference and lead to Tumblr putting the posts back the way they were.

You're a dirty fucking liar

[maxbegone]

just saw a note on substack about someone named Hannah meeting someone else named Hannah, who had never met another Hannah before — so I got curious. have you met someone who shares the same name as you, and is your name common? (excluding if you’re named after a family member)

common, have met someone with the same name

common, have not met someone with the same name

somewhat common, have met someone with the same name

somewhat common, have not met someone with the same name

somewhat uncommon, have met someone with the same name

somewhat uncommon, have not met someone with the same name

uncommon, have met someone with the same name

uncommon, have not met someone with the same name

my name is typically a nickname, have met someone with the same name

my name is typically a nickname, have not met someone with the same name

other (ie; changed/chose my name later in life, etc)

My name is so uncommon there is only one other person in the world that has it (Not as a surname).

But my name is Scorsese. Not named after but, you know...The famous Scorsese family. So I chose other. Because I know they have the same name as me, despite it being their surname. Other Scorsese lives in Ireland, I believe.

[strange-aeons]

okay new video idea!!

Remember when 3 years ago I asked you guys to make up your own tumblr fake stories for a video? Because that might have been the hardest i ever laughed while filming a video. We're doing that again. I expect to be a changed and haunted man after reading the freak shit you're about to write in the reblogs/comments of this post.

[hymen-restoration-project]

when i was a kid my dad used to wake me up with a mild jolt from the jumper cables. he said he was doing it to boost my immune system but i don't really know what his problem was. it's part of the reason that i ended up shitting on his table last year as a power move after he took my fucking computer away

[wyoming-bound]

My mom once threatened to light my deceased cat Peanut on fire if I blew bubbles in the house. Peanut is taxidermied (couldn't bare to part with him) and my mom has a deeply debilitating fear of bubbles. I don't know why, she doesn't even seem to know why they freak her out so much, but she has actively abandoned her young children in music festivals, sprinting away at the mere sight of bubbles. She showers with her eyes closed, and refuses to let me wash the dishes by hand (Which is rather unfortunate because I kind of have a...thing for soap. Guess I didnt inherit that from her.)

I suppose I shouldn't have been trying to make fun of her fear (After all, I have a crippling fear of the blizzards at Dairy Queen being flipped), but I think I'd be rather traumatized if I saw my cat burned to ashes like Kermit in front of me.

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Would you read a book with this title?

Absolutely!

Sure, why not?

Probably not

You could not force me at gunpoint to read something with this title

i don’t normally like to add onto posts but i thought this thread was pretty insightful (link)

[fizzywrench]

[rednines]

Whatever you think of the music Imagine Dragons are exmormon and the lead singer is a huge donor to LGBT groups in Utah. His like sole political cause is like fighting the astronomically high lgbt youth suicide here in Utah. I fucking hate this webbed site

[iwilleatyourenglish]

yeah, this tweet thread fucking sucks.

1. i don’t like Imagine Dragons’ music and i think it is arguable that much of it’s a commercial product, but their members are, as stated above, more or less ex-Mormon.

the lead singer, Dan Reynolds, has discussed his active struggle with his faith and the cult of Mormonism. leaving a cult--especially one that practices shunning--is extremely difficult and can take years. and yet, despite this, he’s made it his mission to help combat issues affecting the LGBT+ community, including conversion therapy, LGBT+ youth suicide, and LGBT+ homelessness.

he has been a consistent and active ally to the point that he has an annual music festival called Loveloud that is dedicated to raising awareness about LGBT+ issues, featuring and promoting LGBT+ artists, and raising money for several charities. he has also donated his own money to LGBT+ organizations and gave his $1 million childhood home to Encircle, an LGBT+ advocacy group in Utah.

the guitarist, Wayne Sermon, has also given talks at conferences dedicated to assisting Mormons in leaving the cult and healing from their trauma.

2. the Lumineers have a history of holding shows solely so they can donate all profits to various charities and causes, including Planned Parenthood in Texas after Republican efforts to defund PP, Dakota Access Pipeline protestors, and LGBT+ charities in North Carolina following the passing of anti-LGBT+ legislation. a lot of their music that doesn’t make it to the radio focuses on issues like poverty, the working class, addiction, and trauma.

3. Marcus Mumford has explicitly stated that he doesn’t actually identify as a Christian, despite using Christian imagery in some of his songs. a person’s parents being Evangelical conservatives should not be an indictment on them. he and the other band members also kicked out their guitarist when he started spewing alt-right talking points and supporting Andy Ngo. i’m still not totally sure i trust his politics--he strikes me as pretty centrist--but good lord, he’s not an Evangelical.

do y’all not realize that you’re allowed to dislike music for purely surface level reasons? like that it doesn’t have to be that it’s made by terrible people--you can just seriously not like how it sounds?

making up bullshit theories where you falsely charge people--especially people actively fighting for progress--with being part of some kind of conservative religious extremist conspiracy theory to justify “i don’t like how they sound” is fucking awful and appalling. go outside.

[headspace-hotel]

I was thinking of this thread just the other day!!! because I was thinking about how people hate Imagine Dragons for being overplayed

and I abruptly remembered how there was a tumblr post where a bunch of people decided that Imagine Dragons was regressive cult propaganda music that was only popular because of a malicious political agenda

And like sure, it's scary how people will make themselves see nonexistent ideological agendas in the music of a band they just...don't like, but to me it's even scarier how people will see a general aesthetic trend in art they don't like and think there has to be an evil ideology behind that aesthetic, because otherwise, how could art that suck be popular?!!1!??

[crochetdragons]

Also, while I don’t like all of their songs, I did go to an Imagine Dragons concert a few years ago because a coworker had tickets, and they were visibly signaling support for the queer community. The Trans Guitar and rainbow mic were very obvious.

[polyphonetic]

At least according to Wikipedia, mister Mumford's parents did not found Vineyard Churches. Those parents were indeed leaders for a time. But yeah the previous points still stand about not being tied to parents / not being an evangelical

[wyoming-bound]

....I like their music.
