Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

"I'm so smrt I can vishulize money, ur 'long time' metafur is so dum I'm unable to even think bout it"
Imagine being so bent out of shape by an easily-grasped metaphor you go out of your way to tell the person they're an idiot and make up a less-easily visualized metaphor to prove how easy it is. It's literally "this is a long time, you have experienced time and know 32 years is a lot" vs "you need to know the general weight of a bill/stack of bills in order to know how many would be required for a certain tonnage"
I am super bent out of shape here. In pretzels, I am. There was a shape, and now there's none. I am shapeless.
You though? A beacon of composure. Keep at it, you're doing great.
