twitter makes me so uncomfortable because weirdness on there is so performative…when someone is weird on tumblr you know they’re eating drywall in life for real….
“Why the fuck the little scroll bar has these little horizontal lines?!” OK, i will tell you … this is to mimic little raised ridges the ridges would provide friction with a finger, if it was a physical slider … this intuitively tells you that the strange object is to be slid like a slider … this is known as … “Skeuomorphic design”! Thanks for listening. have a safe drive home everyone [turns off the projector & leaves out the back door] [gets in my car & puts the key in the ignition] [turns key & my car explodes due to a car bomb, i die]
is this the same reason the save icon is a floppy disk or we still use “roll down the window” despite most car windows being automatic?
the difference between tumblr and twitter is that pretty much everyone on tumblr needs some kind of compassionate intervention in their lives, but at a low background level. Twitter has 99% normies succumbing to internet brainrot and 1% just the most outlandish personalities you’ve ever seen.
your average tumblr personality is a shaking dog in a Sarah McLachlan appeal, with enough time and care they can be rehabilitated and placed in a loving home. your average big-time twitter account should be sent to a prison colony on the moon
how quickly we forget our past on this site…
Friend I was here for the bone stealing witch. Even as the sun and moon hid their eyes and averted their gaze I saw the witch walk without fear of the laws of God nor man and steal those bones and sell them on etsy. The amputated toe. The breast milk jewelry. A man who against any law of heaven desires to own another human as a pet reblogged my star wars discourse posts. You want to talk about racefaking cannibal mermaids?? Bah! How many kickstarter scams for cartoons that sounded unbearably twee have come and gone? How many stars risen and fallen? I remember when this site had a sizable userbase of meth enthusiast who just posted aesthic shots of their stash and rigs. Where are those crank aficionados now? Gone like so many others. And yet I remain!
And when I tell you that twitter is worse than any of that you should heed my words!!
thou hast neglected the terror of the rabies fetishists or the hamilton aides au. or should i remind thee of the war between bronies and gems?
But shal let thou in on a secret. Those evils for the most part were purged from this site. exiled. now they exist in obscurity on twitter and facebook where their antics are milkd in comparison to what goes on there and their history on this site is forgotten to most
