Alright, I think I like tumblr now.

A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it's a good day for everyone.

That was on July 7th.

Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all--the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it's immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.

On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs--nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.

There's a specific chain of reblogs that I'd like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.

But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.

99% percent of the people who have seen the post--virtually unchanged from how it left my dash--have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That's insane to me.

None of those 36 people know that they're part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.

And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.

You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.

I think the law on right to repair should give manufacturers two options: either you have to make it possible and practical for people to fix their own shit (as in, you have to sell replacement parts at reasonable prices, you have to provide repair manuals, you can't void warranties) or you have to fix your products whenever they break, for free, for the reasonably expected lifetime of the product.

Call of Cthulhu villain idea: The coastal con artist

Dorsey Mills survived a strange encounter in a small fishing village, where he was almost killed by a family of Deep One hybrids. But the ex-reporter reacted fairly well to the knowledge of supernatural creatures. If people can turn into fish-people, that might be a business opportunity!

Professor Mills Miracle Elixir is guaranteed to treat rashes, gashes, loss of eyelashes, and when all your food tastes just like ashes! But for a certain clientele, the good professor will share that his elixir delays the process of Deep One transformation. If you’re a member of the Gillette or Haddock or Finley family who wants to keep wearing nice clothes and breathing air for a while longer, five dollars will get you a big bottle of elixir. And if it doesn’t work, if the patented gin and opium and horseradish juice doesn’t really keep you human? Well, it’s not like you can leave the ocean and go track some wandering salesman.

Right?

I am always thinking about every line of dialogue in the first 50 seconds of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

Lost! Please, help me (help my sister) find her childhood best friend!

Growing up in Sapporo; Hokkaido, Japan; my sister Gerda (left) had the best friend: Rie-chan (right). Rie was a friend from kindergarden.

Rie and my sister were practically glued to each other until tragedy struck in 1989 when we had to leave the country.

Together, they had packed for Rie as well to make sure she’d have what was necessary to come with us. When the 2 girls realized Rie had to stay? Tears! Our mothers had to physically pull the girls apart!

Now comes my plea:

Can anyone help us find Rie?

We lived on “Louvre Fujii Jingu-gaien” in Sapporo. Rie and her family moved from the smaller street to a house in the suburbs a few years after.

I’ll try to find the name/address of the kindergarden and maybe a map of where Rie and her family lived in Sapporo.

PLEASE HELP US!
