For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

Similar effect on lemmy.

[–] Fal@yiffit.net 28 points 6 months ago (7 children)

You're wrong because literally everyone on Lemmy is 37

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago

For your information I've had my birthday since joining Lemmy, so I'm 38 now (and therefore everyone else is too)

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I'm 18!

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

don't worry. If everything goes right, you will be 38

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago

fhew, thanks for the encouraging words

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

I'm 18!

Wow, you're 6.40237371 × 10^15 years old‽

yes, it was hard surviving the big bang.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That is a very large number

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not "my back!" large tho

[–] deus@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's a factorial joke. 18! is quite a bit larger than "my back!" large.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 months ago

Larger than the age of the universe, in fact

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

oh, lol, mb missed it

[–] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Everyone on Lemmy is either a late 30s dude (cis or trans,) mid 20s trans woman, or late teens enby. Those are the only demographics.

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 3 points 6 months ago

Sounds like I need to do some soul searching

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Kisss mine 24 year old ass. When I worked at Amazon half the people thought I was in my 40s I was around 21.

[–] outer_spec@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

im 19

[–] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

19 years learning software Dev perhaps

[–] outer_spec@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 months ago

me 19 years ago:

[–] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 1 points 6 months ago

I'm actually 27 (you have no reason not to believe this, so that makes it true)

[–] odium@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

Tf are you on about? Everyone is clearly in their early 20s.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I just imagine everyone else as a clone of myself and then have my mind blown when someone expresses an opinion I do not share. "How can you think that? You're me!"

[–] picnicolas@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago

Nondual sage level reasoning

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 6 months ago

Tumblr user: I am a different age than you.

Other Tumblr user: head explodes

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

I love that I saw this comment right above one of Kolanaki's

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago

47 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up to be a big boy.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have this in real life. I larp a lot, and in my mind, every larper is one of three ages: under 19, 19 to 60 or over 60

So that means that sometimes I've been playing larp for about the same length of time that someone who is "the same age as me" has been breathing.

[–] Neb@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

in my mind, every larper is one of three ages: under 19, 19 to 60 or over 60

I think that’s just true lol

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago

I mean, yes, but that means someone who is 20 is "the same age" as someone who is 51.

Meanwhile, everyone on TikTok is waging generation wars

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

only because it generates engagement - The Algorithm often favours negative content

People discovering the Internet is such a beautiful thing. Imagine telling them there is a site where people don't even have a nickname, or avatar, yet you'll find the most amazing threads (amongst all the shit). Amon is a pretty cool dude, if you ask me

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 8 points 6 months ago

Amon is a pretty cool dude

Honestly I am worried I might have arrested development or something

It feels like it’s constantly 03.08.2018 or 05.07.2016
