Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

So I've done a lot of world traveling. Now when I'm with my friends, who have never left the US, I ironically act snobby about dumb shit. "This pizza isn't as good as the pizza I had in Italy" "This isn't as good as German beer" "This sushi isn't like the real sushi in Japan" "if this spider was from Australia I'd already be dead"

I hope they know you're joking otherwise you might come off as a bit of an asshole

You call this a mugging? In Belfast, they have real muggings!

Pff that's nothing like the guns they have in Switzerland!

When I was 7 years old, we took a trip to Italy. While in Rome, near the Vatican, we saw a street cart selling pizza. Because I was 8 and all I had to eat was Italian food for days, I asked for the pizza.

It was, and I still say this 39 years later, the absolute worst pizza I have ever had in my life.

Do not eat American-style pizza in Italy.

You are supposed to eat the Italian style pizza

I was 7!

Were you 7 or 8?

God I don't remember. I'm 46 now. Asking me to be consistent about my age in my memory is a fool's errand.
