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:

Should start out with ones where the prosecution came up with elaborate stories and convicted the person, by they later turned out to be completely innocent.

It is by definition a false crime.

Although it should be a true crime for the prosecution.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sure a crime actually happened, but what the prosecution said in court never actually happened. Their believe is irrelevant to facts.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

No, I mean the prosecution being guilty of purgery.

Based on a true story.

I was going to say, as I understand it, some true crime podcasts turn out to be false crimes once the investigations are reopened.

I like how they say false crime as if storytelling and theater aren't a thing already.

Bitch just invented fiction.

"So then, what does this dumb idiot do, who is also ugly? He shits his pants, then takes them off and carries them into the police station, naked except for his shitty ass, and turns himself in."

Isn't this basically the first episode of Castle?

It is in my time zone, where it's Saturday already.

I wondered why I didn’t see it (American).

So you’re offering me a Death Note, except better

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I'm going to make the crimes rediculous and unpheasible, so you can't force me into a true crime podcast.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm going to relentlessly spam your podcast with spelling and grammar corrections so the ridiculous and unfeasible crimes pale in comparison to the word crimes I've exposed.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

lmao how did I manage to misspell both of them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Because you're a filthy crime person

[–] Donkter 7 points 6 days ago

I'm going to throw myself into a vat of toxic waste to gain superpowers to do those crimes anyway.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

This is easily circumvented by this wonderful newfangled technology of the calendar
