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.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

This really speaks to the attention span of many a scroller. Not even a full headline read, but a glance, an assumption, and a full 5 minutes tapping out a rant based entirely on their lack of attention to what’s written out right there in front of them.
Or it's rage baiting/humor 🤷
Or a commentary on the crappy education system in whatever country the commenter comes from.
If they aren't taught Shakespeare or ancient history it's possible they may not have learned about this event in history.
the Ides is a big Tumblr holiday. I wouldn't be surprised if more people learned about it from Tumblr than from history class.
Tumblr teaches me a lot about things I never knew that I needed to know. Not about English lit and so on (I had a surprisingly thorough education in that area), but the science side of tumblr taught me more than I would ever have thought possible.
Also quite a lot about how to interact with cats.
