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

/c/Memes@lemmy.world - General memes

You couldn't make Around The World in 80 Days today because that would be considered extremely slow.
You couldn't make Last Tango in Paris today because tango is no longer danced in Paris.
You couldn't make Jaws today because the technology to build a more believable shark exists and it would be much less suspenseful.
You couldn't make Throw Mommy Off The Train today because they would be discussing their murder plot on Twitter and get caught in the first act.
You couldn't make Trains, Planes, and Automobiles today because of America's crumbling infrastructure.
