Restaurants and bars really love to test your sobriety by making the route to their bathrooms as labyrinthine as possible
Me: I’m not that drunk
Me trying to figure out where the Fuck they’ve hidden the restrooms in this bar: So this is how Odysseus felt huh
Everyone tagging this post with their local bars/restaurants that have ridiculous bathroom layouts…..I see u. I am u. We are all Odysseus, and our Ithaca is a toilet covered in stickers.
ok I just HAVE to include this picture from inside the bathroom door of this one bar I went to
only one of these knobs work and it’s not the one that’s a different color from the rest
Okay also I’ve been driving electric cars long enough now to be really emphatic that the fact that they’re not all automatically built with solar panels in the roofs is a scandal.
And somehow almost every time I tell anyone this they roll their eyes and attempt to explain to me that this would not create a perpetual motion machine because of the limitations of the area relative to the power draw of the motor, which is incredibly annoying because that’s not the point.
Yes it’s possible that driving in the sunshine with a solar collector dripping into the battery would net you a little more mileage on that trip before needing recharge, but the usefulness of a solar-topped electric car is that if you drive it someplace–say, to work–and leave it outside in the sun all day, you’ll definitely have more range available by the time you’re ready to head home.
Also if you fuck up your calculations because of the inefficiency induced by cold weather or something and get yourself stranded without anywhere to charge, like halfway up a mountain or, more likely, six miles from home, you can call for rescue or walk away, come back later, and it’ll be able to move again.
This is important because unlike running out of gas you can’t really go get some electricity.
like imagine if some of the energy that turns into face-melting air when you first turn the AC on was stored as electricity instead of going to waste
Imagine if electric cars were designed and sold on their merits as practical devices and not toys for the rich.
My advocacy for the preservation of minority languages has nothing to do with the fact that they are interesting/fascinating/any other adjective of that nature
Minority languages deserve protection because they are important, and they are valuable
The worth of a minority language is not determined by the entertainment it can provide to outsiders
While I believe that all languages are beautiful and unique, it shouldn’t matter that a language is ugly, or boring or “useless”
Yes, Celtic folk music is beautiful, but that is not the reason for preserving Celtic languages
So apparently a lot of Twitter users are jumping ship and coming here (which is hilarious) and I’ve seen a lot of “welcome to tumblr” posts going around (also hilarious)
But I don’t think I’ve seen a single one address how clout works on this app. Namely that it doesn’t exist. There’s no verification system. There’s no way to check how many followers someone else has. You can have 5 followers or 500,000 and no one is going to care either way.
Also, simply being on tumblr negates any clout you may have elsewhere. Taylor Swift uses this app. No one cares.
remember when you were 12 and the internet seemed like an endless source of fun and now you just scroll through tumblr and check instagram?
or is that just me
thought i was the only that felt this way lol
The internet when you were 12 in 2007: Most of your friends didn’t use it and neither did your parents. Corporations didn’t fully understand it yet, commercialization consisted almost exclusively of banner ads. The most popular social media was MySpace, of which you could personalize almost every aspect and nobody’s parents used. Instead of having one Nerd Website that everyone uses, you had accounts on a bunch of different forums related to your interests and each had its own unique environment. YouTube was an uncharted terrain of kids just like you uploading whatever they wanted, unpolished and unedited with no ad partnerships.
The internet in 2020: Literally everyone is online, every member of your family has an account on each of the most popular websites. Instead of being a place you can enter on your own terms when you’re ready, the internet now comes to you, giving you a little spike of anxiety with every new notification. Ad spam is everywhere and it’s becoming increasingly harder to differentiate between real people and marketing schemes. The most popular social media websites have streamlined, neutral colored UIs that cannot be personalized at all beyond a singular photo and username. Instead of being a haven for fellow weirdos, everyone is a denizen of the internet now. 90% of online activity for your interests takes place on a single website, the community is going to be devastated if it ever goes down but what can be done? YouTube is just mainstream television but on the internet now, YouTubers are rich celebrities who live in Hollywood mansions.
Im so glad people are talking about this cuz Ive been scared it was mainly my depression sapping the joy out of everything again
Sugar…..spice…..and everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl. But Professor Utonium accidentally added an EXTRA INGREDIENT to the concoction…. CHEMICAL X.
The Unified Theory of Viral Song Describing Extremely Specific Social Phenomena
No but if the Tramp Stamps are telling the truth and they AREN’T an industry plant… that’s so much worse. That’s so so so much worse. If they’re industry plants, it just means that they were random wannabe musicians suckered in by the promise of cash and fame who were TOLD to dress like a 50-year-old-man’s idea of a delinquent teen to “appeal to the kids” but no. They’re literally a group of women who are such unimaginably out-of-touch posers that people concluded that they could ONLY be this bad if they were being controlled by boomer businessmen in starched suits. Holy hell
