I'm gonna link to the animations in case y'all either don't remember or have never heard of some of these.
A quick note: these were made in the 2000s. Comedy is subjective, there's some strong examples of dark and/or "lolz teh random" humor in these. Maybe some cultural blindness, too. That said, enjoy a time capsule of stuff made before/during the birth of Youtube, now hosted on Youtube.
do people know about bangs? i feel like a lot of people don't, even if they have duckduckgo as their default search engine, but they're incredibly useful, they're essentially shortcuts to search other sites
if I type "!w segmented turning" into duckduckgo, it searches wikipedia for "segmented turning" and takes me to that page. if I search for something that doesn't exist, I get the results page on wikipedia.
i can use !yt to search youtube, !rgate for researchgate, !unic for unicode symbols, !worldcat for worldcat.org, !osm for openstreetmaps, even ao3. There's thousands of them already (you can see existing bangs here) and if one doesn't exist you can suggest new ones
i can effectively search almost any website without needing to leave my address bar it's so convenient
can't believe i forgot to include this. of course there is one for tumblr (it's !tumblr)

Life in Code: A Personal History of Technology

a while back I made a post along the lines of "every STEM major should have a required 'history of science' course that's just all about previously wrong and bad scientific theories like sperm all containing homunculi and spontaneous generation" and I got a lot of responses like "but STEM majors already have gen ed requirements!" and would not understand why I was specifically asking for a course that would teach people about why science is not infallible and does not exist in a vacuum and THIS IS EXACTLY WHY ACTUALLY

This panel is a bonus at the end, on webtoons.
Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).
Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).
Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% / 8.1% of the time respectively while being included 78.9% / 81.2% of the time (x)
Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.
Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations
yeah that’s super important.
This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.
Be kind. 💜
“friend of Dorothy” was used to say you were gay discreetly for fucking years. Where did it come from?
“You have some queer friends, Dorothy”, and she replies, “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends.”
Like, it was popular enough for it to be a thing in ww2.
i mean we have got to desexualise nudity i don’t care if it makes you personally uncomfortable when naked people exist and you assume they might be doing it for sexual gratification. work through that. there is nothing inherently sexual about a human body. none of it.

truthfully i think i've only ever done these things once or twice, but i always want to so here i am. doing the thing! (some of the file names might end up being the title, so. might be accidentally bending rules sorry)
Tony flushes and returns Steve's smile. It's adorable, and a little shy. It's doing things for him. Steve hopes it's not showing on his face too much.
"Uhuh," Bucky groans a little. "'course, shoulda realized."
"I will break your dumb little table over your damn head, Buck," Steve warns. He would never, of course, but he loves threatening that stupid little thing Bucky found at the flea market. Someone had "refurbished" it. What had once been a lovely antique wood side table is now a garish orange and blue Mets-themed atrocity. Which is saying something, since he loves the Mets.
"Touch it and I won't give you the heating pad I bought you."
Steve snorts and turns back towards Tony with a reassuring smile. "Don't mind us."
Tony laughs a little and shakes his head. "You guys kind of remind me of how I am with my best friend Rhodey."

I cannot stress this enough, yes that's what it was used for.
