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/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Early CRTs were round, like in the Manchester Baby computer. They got squarer as they started being used for TV, more so as the scanning technology improved. You'll see early TVs from the 50s or so looking very squircular.
Yeah some CRTs used to be round but consumer ones afaik weren't round at the time anyone could afford a 12 in display
