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.

Having fallen in love with Carmen Miranda before reading La United Fruit Company stilllll sucks.

Also add Blackwater to this list. Warcrimes and looting by American plutocratic mercenaries and now their name is not obviously pronounceable. They did an amazingly good [bad for everyone but them] rename.

Also add Blackwater to this list.

They've changed names so many times I guess you missed that it was already there:

Constellis Holdings, née Academi, née Xe Services, née Blackwater

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

Is there a makemesuffer community (with more than 0 posts)? Because that’s where this belongs. Jesus Christ.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Kinda shocked that the most hated company on Lemmy (Nеstlé) hasn’t tried their luck at this game yet

I guess Nestlé isn't hated enough by the general public yet. We need to step up our game.
