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

If the prices didn't go up because of a shortage, because there was never a shortage, why did prices go back down again?
The law of supply and demand explains the price of eggs. If you're saying it's wrong then what's your better egg-splanation?
The prices went back down right after the federal government announced a price fixing investigation and a bunch of news coverage came out about how their claims were bogus.

It’s correlational, not causal. There isn’t going to be a definitive source on this
Then you can find it, if you really care.
The harder you look, the more conclusively you prove you're right!
No, what I care about (in this context) is other people making arguments that they can't substantiate. I'm not spending my time trying to substantiate someone else's arguments, I spend enough time doing that for my own.
I have no need to prove that I'm right. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
