WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 5TH AND WHY IS TUMBLR FREAKING OUT I AM SO CONFUSED
Oh, bless you for not knowing haha
November 5th 2020 was one of the most absurd days in internet history, and frankly, in overall history.
So the world is trembling over the US election right. The votes are being counted, everyone is on edge and even over here in Europe, people are holding their breath because whoever wins this election could change the earth as we know it. Around that time, the third wave of Covid hits (I think), and sends us all back into lockdown.
Then, on Nov 5 specifically, there's this moment where Nevada's votes could make all the difference (that's why sometimes, Nevada pops up in the shitposts too). And Nevada is slooooow. The results aren't coming in, and everyone is constantly checking for updates. Also apparently, Georgia and Pennsylvania are turning blue (democratic) for the first time in ages (or ever? don't know, I'm not that familiar with US history) but anyway, it's unprecedented.
On the same day, the romantic relationship of Dean Winchester and Castiel (Destiel), two characters of the show Supernatural, becomes canon after 15 seasons...but in a really weird way that is dissatisfying to most of the fandom (I think. Not in that fandom either). Now the fandom in itself is huge though, one of the biggest fandoms on Tumblr ever, and there's this sort of massive Spn renaissance happening that just consists of...complete disbelief lol.
On top of that, rumors of Putin's resignation arise, being widely spread through the Supernatural fandom's Destiel shitposts. This, again, could change world history if true.
And at this point, everyone's just going crazy-town banana pants.
Because of the sheer absurdity.
AND I LOVE IT.
Because one person summed it up in the following sentence that went viral and honestly explains best what the heck happened on that day:
And this sentence MAKES ME COME ALIVE. Because DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY FACTORS HAD TO WEIGH IN FOR SOMEONE TO UNDERSTAND THIS REFERENCE????????????????
It's a meme consisting of at least 5 other events to explain the 5th of November feeling. The peak comedy being that this is the first sentence of "My Immortal", the worst fanfiction ever written, implying that November 5 2020 reads exactly like that.
It's a cultural treasure, that's what this is.
And I'm just like...WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE. WHAT A TIME TO BE ON TUMBLR. WHAT AN HONOR TO WITNESS THAT TRAINWRECK OF THE US PULL ITSELF OUT OF THE DIRT AND LIVE ANOTHER DAY. ALL IN THE MIDST OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. FAITH IN HUMANITY RESTORED. RELIEVED FOR ALL MY US MUTUALS.
HAPPY DESTIELPUTINELECTION DAY ANON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy destielputinelection anniversary eve everyone
This explanation is neglecting to mention that, due to the high saturation of gifs of the relevant Supernatural episode at the time, many of us (including those of us who don’t give a shit about supernatural) were somehow learning about important world news via Supernatural memes. Which was just an extra layer of absurdity.
It’s also why you occasionally see important world news being delivered via a very specific Supernatural gifset.
@hellsite-hall-of-fame this is destiel day!
Fun fact! This was my first day on tumblr!
... yeah I had no fucking clue what was going on. I thought everything was Just Like That.
(yes I know I'm new here, mock me relentlessly)
Why would anyone mock you for joining on the best possible day in tumblr history to join. I'm so jealous. You got the true Troy Walking In With Pizza And Beholding Chaos experience
hey genuine question why do people put that fucking water filter over screenshots. just post them. fuck you.
no. get submerged

facebook has bots saying random garbage that nobody cares about to each other but on tumblr that work is still done lovingly by hand
life imitates art
every episode of merlin is like
morgana: the best way to kill arthur is to make him piss rocks. here i have this magic snake where anyone who is bit will piss rocks! he’ll never see it coming
arthur: i am pissing rocks
gaius: merlin is at the tavern
merlin: i have found a special flower that only opens when you recite a spell at it and it can be used to cure rock pissing disease. enjoy this tea i’ve made, arthur!
arthur: i have stopped pissing rocks thanks to the bravery of my knights. the moment they captured this random soldier who brought the snake to camelot, i was drinking my tea and i quit pissing rocks.
morgana: thwarted again! if only emrys didn’t know every detail of arthur’s life that only his servant would know!
@roulette-sinclair exactly
u ever have on mutuals whos so deep in another fandom that u know absolutely zero about and they make posts that look like they speaking another language or some shit
i really appreciate the number of mutuals who are not in any of my fandoms sharing this post. its like a little hello nod as we pass each other in the hall
This is frustrating.
I love the comparison, but I hate how they are comparing.
They are acting like she is using optics to give herself an advantage. But the device she is wearing is just for comfort and essentially does the same thing as closing one eye and squinting the other.
The little thing over the left eye is basically like an eye patch.
And the thing over her right eye is a mechanical iris, like in a camera lens, but it is NOT a lens.
Different lighting environments are going to be brighter or darker and you may have to squint more or less to let in the same amount of light into your eye. Squinting allows the shooter to get the sharpest possible vision in order to shoot a bullseye the size of a 12-point Times New Roman period.
But if you have to squint for hours for practice and in competition, this can strain your face muscles and become uncomfortable. So this iris basically squints for you.
It's more like wearing comfortable shoes so your feet do not hurt than a lens magnifying the target and giving an advantage.
Both athletes have access to these items. One felt more comfortable without them. The other didn't feel like getting a muscle cramp from squinting all day.
Either would have shot the same if they had or had not used these devices.
Just a funny difference in gear preference.
I should also add, the Turkish dad is the only one using lenses.
I'd just like to add that Kim Yeji may look like a cool cyborg badass, but she and the Turkish dad only won silver.
The gold medal winner in the women's air pistol finals was adorable and a bit overshadowed.
Oh Ye-jin, who is only 19, won gold and set an Olympic record with her final score.
Kim Yeji is her mentor and seems very supportive of her.
Also, Oh Ye-jin added a little heart to the barrel blocking thingie.
I mean, it's like she got lost at summer camp and just wandered into the Olympics to win gold.
I think she deserves some attention too.
When I was watching the competition I kept wondering why they never showed the actual target as it was being shot. On the broadcast they just show a graphic of the target.
And then the commentator said the bullseye was literally the size of a period—smaller than the actual pellets they are shooting. And that the entire target was the size of a coin.
They'd have to set up a macro lens next to every target for you to see them.
Pretty much every shot lands within the 3 inner circles. And if you hit the 3rd circle your shot is basically garbage. Like you'd see the shooters grimace and do an angry little foot stomp if they hit it there.
Like, if you get a 7 you might as well go home.
And the best shot possible is a 10.9—which would be hitting as close to the bullseye as can be measured.
This was Oh Ye-jin's final gold medal winning shot.
A 10.6!
It's absolutely bonkers how precise these shooters are.
I mean... look at this period...
.
Now imagine trying to shoot it from 30 feet away.
I don't think my old ass could even see the damned thing.
Thank you for the context, my nearsighted ass did NOT know this.
@ghostlyarchaeologist okay sooooo remember the thing we were talking about the other day.....
I was reading something about Whitestown, Indiana and my eyes nearly popped out of my head thinking it was one of THOSE comically racist towns. Nice to know, at least the name, wasn’t that.
Racisttown, named after the abolitionist Stopbeing Racist,
That's nothing. Check THIS shit out
not to be confused with gay hitler.
every fucking time I see this I miss the "7 month old" part, then when I see the image I fucking lose it. god fucking dammit
HARK !!! I SEE HER !! RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF POST !! RAISE THEM MEN FROM THEIR SLUMBER WE'VE A BEAST TO SLAY
FOOLS !!! IT'S A TRAP !! THEY ARE FLANKING YOU, AND NOW YOU ARE SURROUNDED !!
OH, THE HUBRIS OF MAN !! TO BE SCUPPERED THUS BY HIS OWN OBSESSION !! AND WHO NOW IS LEFT TO INFORM THE WIDOWS WHAT FOLLY TOOK PLACE HERE?
solangelo fans. Dude. We need to stop making Will the pretty boy and Nico the insane bitch in the relationship. We need to switch the fucking roles. Will is TEXAN.
FOR REAL
Nico’s out there, looking like a classical painting, probably extremely polite and well behaved bc he was raised in a rich household in the 1930s (he may not remember but you bet this shit is internalized)
Meanwhile Will is running around looking like he got dressed by a colorblind toddler, his mom is a country singer so boy probably spent his childhood in dive bars. His friends are a Hermes kid and a Hecate kid, that’s some troublemaking material here. He went to Tartarus wearing cargo shorts. He saw a murderous half dead goth kid and thought “nice 😌”. That boy is INSANE
i learned that each woman spends approximately $5,600 on her period over her lifetime (x)
this reminded me of the reason why i bought reusable menstrual pads in the first place
im so happy with my collection
where did you get them? theyre so cute I love!
Last period was the first time I didn’t use any non reusable products!
REUSABLE???? THERE’S REUSABLE ONES?????
I love reusable ones! Using them almost a year now!
WHAT!!!!
BROOOO
WHATTT
hop aboard the reusable menses product train y’all! boss up your coochie!! all joking aside though, i’ve saved money, no more cramping or inner thigh rashes from the dioxins and other weird chemicals and (pandemic related) fewer reasons to take impromptu trips out of the house. win-win all around.
i bought their trial pack (one of each pad size + pouch) just to see how these pads are like and just a day after using, i bought a starter pack (2 liner, 3 regular, 2 overnight + pouch)
i included a photo below beside my switch for comparison of how big the xl and overnight pads are (i love using both for for nighttime use). daily, i use my regular pads and when working out/post-period, i use the liners.
honestly these are such amazing investments. i cant see myself using commercial pads ever again. they dont stink nor leak and you just have to make sure youre not wearing lace or any flimsy underwear so they’ll stay in place. i totally recommend this!
OMG WHAT THERE ARE REUSABLE ONES????
PSA I JUST SAW THEY NOW HAVE ANIMAL CROSSING PATTERNS IM SCREAMING RIGHT NOW
the amazing part is that it’s 5 LAYERS AND COMES WITH TWO BUTTONS TO SNAP TOGETHER!!
PS! You bleed on the black bamboo fiber part and not on the villagers 😂
Love these. Game changing. Don’t knock it til you try it.
Sharing for people with vaginas who have periods and similar things.
Requesting others reblog to spread word.
If your blog is specific niche, I ask you Like/heart to bump signal slightly.
I recently ordered from them and I love that the colourful fabrics are water proof. They are worth buying!!
I bought these because of a post I saw about them and did some research. I absolutely love them! I’m probably gonna get more soon cause I only got the trail pack, and am sick being on my period have having to do laundry right that second to have more pads ready. But absolutely 20/10!
i literally stopped having cramps after i started using them
I bought some of these a bit ago. Forever reblog.
I’ve been using the reusable pads for about three months, just about to buy more. They’re amazing!
No one told me there was REUSABLE ONES???
Excuse me NO CRAMPS??? And do these cute little patterns not get stained??
I don’t know about no cramps (I’ve heard that the chemicals in the disposable pads make cramps worse which I wouldn’t doubt but I have no experience) but mine don’t really stain! You are supposed to soak them, which is probably even better, but I just toss mine in the wash as soon as I change them (which encourages me to run a load of laundry lol, I run it with my towels and nothing weird has ever happened). I cannot recommend cloth pads enough I LOVE them.
I used these post partum with all of my kids, and I intend to buy them for my own kids when they start menstruating. I would like to add that they make diapers from the same material that will save you a fortune when you have babies, and it’s so much easier on their skin.
They also come in “sensitive skin” variety. Those are intended for people who have sensory issues AND allergies. Wish I’d known before I got a set. And understand, they’re not perfect, but they are way better. I still haven’t tested the sensitive skin ones, but I hope to soon.
