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.

Humans are social creatures (no shit) and the internet is not yet advanced enough to convey every aspect we've evolved and developed to communicate properly offline.

The internet supports high res video chat. If you can't convey the same shit over video chat that you can in a real face to face conversation then I need to ask how you use telepathy because I want to as well.

Mm, yes, I really really really want to turn on a full body video camera every time I read and respond to online comments. That sounds super fucking practical with the technology and online social structures that we could implement it tomorrow. You're a revolutionary who will be praised by historians for centuries to come.

By advanced I mean a solution that isn't so flagrantly stupid yet accomplishes the same or similar goals as offline interactions. We can't even reliably convey sarcasm without overtly stating it - defeating the point of sarcasm.

Are you being sarcastic? Or am I? 🤔 That's not a problem of the technology. That's a problem with the method of communication.
