Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. 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'm so smrt I can vishulize money, ur 'long time' metafur is so dum I'm unable to even think bout it"

Imagine being so bent out of shape by an easily-grasped metaphor you go out of your way to tell the person they're an idiot and make up a less-easily visualized metaphor to prove how easy it is. It's literally "this is a long time, you have experienced time and know 32 years is a lot" vs "you need to know the general weight of a bill/stack of bills in order to know how many would be required for a certain tonnage"

I am super bent out of shape here. In pretzels, I am. There was a shape, and now there's none. I am shapeless.

You though? A beacon of composure. Keep at it, you're doing great.
