me greeting everyone with all the joy i can muster

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus

remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

believe it or not, we liked that more

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it

To this day, XKit has an option to turn Tumblr’s background color back to the old one because of just how angry people got when they changed it. Genuine widespread rage at the color change.

The old color was also blue, just a slightly different shade.

light

oh this is gonna be good

Eugh! Blegh! Ptooey!

Rb to remind a friend not to put the pffthlarthh in their mouth

maybe you don’t like yourself or trust yourself at this very moment. maybe you’ve been struggling a lot with being compassionate and gentle towards yourself, and that’s understandable. you may not feel positive towards yourself right now, but i’m asking you to treat yourself the way you would treat a friend. it can help you remain more objective and realistic in your recovery goals, especially if you have the tendency to be extra harsh on you, but not on your loved ones. so please remember, when things get too rough.. is this the way you’d treat or talk to to a friend? you deserve your own friendship too, love.

The laws that govern the hydraulics are always interesting ..

For how this works:

When the straw is filled with liquid and tipped over, the output would create a vacuum if liquid doesn't flow through, so the rest of the liquid is drawn up until the pressures equalize

adulthood is just a constant struggle of, “man, i want cookies for breakfast, but I also recognize this is a bad nutritional decision.  On the other hand, the only one who can stop me is me.  i know that fucker’s weaknesses.  i could totally take me in a fight.”

doing my part by being in my 20s and not getting married HOLD THE LINE

im sure this has been done before but

I do fully think that when Five jumped the first time, when he first managed time travel before getting stuck in the apocalypse, that he ended up in the timeline during Ben's funeral

Agreed. The snow was just too much of a giveaway.

Imagine if he stopped to check how far he had gotten only to get home to a funeral

I wonder if that might have helped him try to blink back since the time is only very short this time
