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.

What the fuck is "ship"?

[–] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

When people put two (or more) characters together romantically/sexually in a relationship. Example being Hermione and harry in harry potter. Some "fandoms" can get real insufferable about "ships"

go to the ben 10 fandom and ask about Bwen

Oh, so that's what it is. I was getting really confused because I only know shipping as sending packages and stuff and was wondering (besides environmental effects) what's wrong with it.

"relation-ship"

I never questioned the origin. I feel dumb for not realizing that

It’s when you pay a courier to move things from one place to another. I’m thinking OP likes a major courier like FedEx or UPS and is tired of getting flak for it.

Well when you compare them to Amazon or Hermes, can you blame me?

I thought they meant everything that exists has been shipped as in delivered somewhere and was fairly confused because drugs were the only thing I could think of that someone may be surprised have been delivered by an actual shipping company

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They even ship entire ships using larger ships.

Well that's just confusing as all get out.

When I was younger, I was told the difference between a boat and a ship was that "a ship can carry a boat, but a boat can't carry a ship"

So what am I supposed to call a ship that can carry not one ship but three ships?

A relation-ship.

Allright, I'll get my coat.
