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.

I.E. My dad once told me that the reason we sweat was because if we didn't we'd burst into flames when we get hot.
Way more entertaining than legitimate misinformation and misunderstandings.
In case anyone isn’t aware of the actual reason we die when we get overheated enough:
At the point where that happens, some of our bodily enzymes would stop working, meaning some of the tiny processes that keep us alive would no longer be possible.
