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:

You're wrong because literally everyone on Lemmy is 37

[–] edgemaster72 21 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

fhew, thanks for the encouraging words

I'm 18!

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

AMA

yes, it was hard surviving the big bang.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That is a very large number

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's not "my back!" large tho

[–] deus 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Larger than the age of the universe, in fact

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

oh, lol, mb missed it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Sounds like I need to do some soul searching

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

Tumblr user: I am a different age than you.

Other Tumblr user: head explodes

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!"

On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 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 24 points 7 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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

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

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

Meanwhile, everyone on TikTok is waging generation wars

[–] MurrayL 10 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Honestly I am worried I might have arrested development or something

It feels like it’s constantly 03.08.2018 or 05.07.2016
