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

It's just like the atomic model - in High School you learn Bohr's model (central nucleus with electrons in circular orbits) which is wrong, but is helpful. Then, in college/uni you learn the quantum model. Different levels of abstraction for different use-cases.
Abstraction is a beautiful thing.
And still today we know our current models of physics are incomplete, but mostly accurate.
"like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff"
It's a terrible system, it's why we have so many people with high school educations talking about Trans people.
