Heartbreaking: This person is making great points but they're being a huge fucking asshole about it so you can't reblog any of it

Honestly, "high art" of any kind isn't really any more or less incomprehensible or unapproachable than Tumblr meme culture. It's basically the same kind of thing, really, but with a longer time span and more reading to catch up to - things making references to things that were a thing earlier, and everyone kind of supposes that everyone who sees the work also has some background knowledge of the previous work being referred. Just imagine an art history teacher breaking down a tumblr post like

"...And here we see the next poster replying with this image. Here, this image of a statue has a very exact symbolic meaning. The figure of the statue is the Greek god Apollo, here in his role as a prophetic deity, which you may have concluded from the original post referring to future events that may or may not come to pass. In his hand, he is holding a dodgeball, raised on the level of his head, as if ready to throw it. The threatening aura of the image is multiplied by the way the statue's eyes have been edited to gleam omniously - the poster replying to the Original Post is expressing a symbolic, indirect threat, that the future that the Original Post's author described might come to pass, as if the patron deity of oracles had personally cursed the Original Poster to a fleeting gift of prophecy, as swift and brutal as being slammed with a dodgeball."

"...The second reply, here, has an image of a smiling woman wearing a helmet, standing in a row of people in similar uniforms. This reply requires some slightly deeper konwledge of Tumblr meme lore to understand - the image is a fragmet of a larger whole: a single frame of a gif, of a clip from the movie Starship Troopers. What is important here is the omitted context, which is the line that this nameless character famously says in the scene: 'I'm doing my part!' By posting this image, instead of the entire captioned gif, the replier highlights the implied obvious meaning behind it: They are not merely announcing their intention to actively work to see that the future that the Original Poster foresaw will come to pass, but wordlessly taunt them by implying 'you already know what I mean to do.' It is - in joking - a threat."

"And as you see here, the Original Poster has replied to these comments with a gif, which depicts an encounter between two robotic arms. The swift and dynamic action of the gif serves to express the OP's emotions, as the first robot represents the author themselves, and the second one is a stand-in for the two previous repliers. The way the first robot arm grabs the second one and starts beating it against the floor represents the author's anger. As surrogates for the two parties engaged in the conversation, the author is expressing their personal desire to grab the two previous posters and violently beat them against the floor."

I'm a bit confused. The account has still been deleted, for pretty much the exact same reason, right now, it's just this specific post was from a different time it happened. You can see the post about the current situation here: https://www.tumblr.com/firefox-unofficial/762468470321545216/will-update-as-necessary-flew-too-close-to-the?source=share

Also, I'm pretty sure that previous time was in december 2021, not 2022, sorry for my mistake. It was just reblogged onto the backup blog in 2022

HEY GUYS I JUST GOT AN EMAIL ABOUT TRADEMARK ISSUES FROM TUMBLR I—

Everyone! This was from the time it happened in 2022, yes firefox-official is currently banned, but this specific post is from a previous time they were banned. I don't understand why people keep reblogging it!

I have seen those packets used here in Australia too, but they are quite rare and much less convenient.

So apparently the Americans are unaware that in Australia, all soy sauce is distributed via tiny 1-inch fish bottles

Imagine a whole country never having tasted the nectar of the microplastic marlon, no wonder America is like that

i made like a vague post about it before but people really have to stop being dicks to people for being overly verbose and using big words because it is literally actually just a textbook symptom of autism. its like the symptom of """high functioning""" autism. you arent hating nerds or whatever youre just being ableist

Absolutely no idea, since I've never watched dragonball. There's an image of snails reproducing below (and some information on how it works), if it's helpful for anyone trying to figure this out, but I think some people may find it gross so proceed with caution.

Most land snails have both male and female genitalia (in the image you can see two penis-equivalents, each being inserted into a vagina-equivalent). Some species of snail will mate with each other at the same time, like with the image, but some will engage in "penis fencing" to determine who gets to insert the penis into whom. Some snails will also harpoon each other with "love darts", which are basically hard miniature spears that they stab each other with, which cause the snail that has been stabbed to preserve the sperm of the stabber via hormones.

I'm too tired to add more, but I encourage anyone curious to look it up, it's quite interesting. No idea how any of it is relevant though. Also sorry for any poor phrasing, I wasn't sure the best way to word a lot of this, again due to being quite tired.

The upsetting thing about the Internet Archive situation is that they decided to bet everything - their credibility, the crucial work of preservation they've done on the net, the accessibility of materials that otherwise be legitimate lost media - on a truly idiotic proposition for the sake of either "changing bad law" or martyring themselves to it.

And now they're getting martyred for it.

And it's their own goddamn fault.

And we're still going to pay for it, as a society, either paying for their dumbfuck legal pirouette, with the loss of all the material that they claimed to be custodians of but instead endangered recklessly, or realistically, both.

It's fucking maddening.
