Biggest indicator of US decline: You could buy 6 BigMacs with 1 hour of minimum wage in 1980, but today you can't even buy one, despite minimum wage more than doubling.
It's over.
Fs for the USA
explaining purchasing power collapse to an american: imagine no burger
no but this is a real thing. economists use “the big mac index” to figure out which currencies are over- or under-valued by comparing the price of a big mac in different countries. big macs work well for these kinds of things because they represent a combined price of land, labor, and capital, and are the same over the earth and across time.

if fantasy genre reincarnation were real (ie, the kind where everyone always reincarnates as human and can recover most if not all previous-life memories) humans would use it for such DUMB SHIT you guys. like every other week you’d get headlines like “20 year old cave diver vanishes down This One Fucking Cave for the 5th life in a row.” and the body of the article would be like “His last words were ‘This time I’m going to find out what’s at the bottom of that crevasse!’ We’ll see you when you get your memories back in 16 years Dylan, the scientific community can’t wait to find out what was at the bottom of that crevasse.”

it has been quite a month huh
ok ok rent lowering gunshots aside, new twitter refugees PLEASE for the love of yourself go turn your likes and follows private. yes, that's a thing you can do. check that little mark in your settings and just. feel the weight of constant surveillance slide off of your shoulders. enjoy the anonymity.
Just for the people who have been so conditioned to think otherwise - no, it's not weird or creepy to do this. It's not something you only do if you have something to hide. Most people here do it. You should too. Reject the destruction of privacy sold to you as "honesty and accountability". Keep your private shit private.

In light of today’s bird app news, I’m glad we can be an inspiration to those less fortunate than us. Godspeed
It took all of one day to forget that i reinstalled tumblr
someday, in the distant future, humans will once again be capable of hearing the phrase “what is love” without also feeling the primal urge to respond with “baby don’t hurt me”
shamrockjolnes
So at that point, people will say “baby don’t hurt me”…no more?
I tried to scroll past I really did

Welcome twitter users fleeing the absolute cesspool that twitter is going to become as Musk gets his way with his awful ideas! Things are better here, and hey, if you're an old user coming back, they've actually improved shit!
Here's a list of important notes for tumblr usage:
- Don't censor words, particularly trigger warnings. Tumblr has a very functional blacklist (found in your settings) that can filter by post content and/or tags. But the word needs to actually be present for the filter to work. Censoring words like r*pe is actively harmful to people attempting to avoid those topics.
- Use tags liberally, you have as many as you want, but don't tag unrelated shit. You'll get reported for spam really fast if you do.
- Set an avatar and reblog things, otherwise you look like a bot.
- You are not obligated to have your real name anywhere in your blog/bio/etc. Most people here use handles.
- You can turn your ask box & anons on or off if you are experiencing any kind of harassment. You can also turn off replies on your posts, and turn off reblogs if you need to.
- Tumblr has keyboard shortcuts on desktop. You can find them listed under the blog/account menu. Go learn them, they make life so much easier.
- Reblog things. Seriously. Also set your dash in chronological order. You can maintain several blogs if need be, but reblogging things is normal, expected, and how you pass along stuff you enjoy.
- The majority of people aren't reading your card/dni/blog bio before they reblog stuff. Posts get passed around and the OP often isn't the focal point of the post. Learn to live with it.
- Fic writers: you have unlimited words, do not post fics as images.
- Reblogs with comments/tags are encouraged. It's not like twitter's QRTs. The OP will see everything there. Know that before you comment.
- You have a queue. This means you can set posts up ahead of time to run while you're busy. You can also completely ignore this and just spam your follows whenever you're online. Both are very commonplace
- It's not weird to go through someone's blog and reblog old posts. That's actually very normal. If you add /chrono to the end of a tumblr tab then you can view an
- "Spam" liking and reblogging isn't a thing that is a problem. This is invented by people I do not understand. If someone claims this is a problem, they can learn how to turn off or manage their notifications.
- The only form of promotional posts that tumblr has is "blaze". There is no ad targeting or any kind of invasions of privacy with blaze. You just get subjected to w/e someone wants to show you. If you want to give tumblr some money to help the company keep going and provided an alternative to twitter, it's not a bad way to do it. You can make people look at cat photos.
- Also, we have fun colors here. Plus actual formatting ability. Use it!
- People lie on here for fun. Don't accept everything you see at face value, check the reblogs/replies or google something if you're skeptical! Critical thinking is good!
- Above all else, be chill, use your block button if you need to, and have fun.
Addition for the fic writers: please please please add the read more option on your post. On desktop it's the orange squiggly lines that come up when you click on the textbox.
On mobile I believe it's :: readmore :: (without spaces).
The read more option shortens your post, putting whatever you have under the read more hidden until someone clicks on it. This is super helpful for mobile users if you have a long post so they don't have to scroll forever past your thing.
I think the hardest part of coming back here is now i need to rid myself of the old rwby fandom and find my new people
