Do you think people in the past realized that their shit was old as fuck?

pukicho

They probably looked at the wagon wheel and thought to themselves "yeah this is pretty bad"

the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds

#i was in a car with a linguist i had never met before the car trip and like half an hour in he looked at me#after i finished describing a geology thing that was happening out the window and asked if i'd ever spent much time on tumblr#the fuckor of it all#and then we spent six more hours driving#it sure does leave linguistic markers! i'm not sure i'm good with it (tags via @thoughtsformtheuniverse)

it is one thing to be a linguist and another to be a linguist who knows enough of 2010s Tumblr to spot one of its enjoyers

lierdumoa

Oh! @meret118 see above comment! The use of the word "enjoyers" instead of "users" or "bloggers" -> You left a comment a while back asking, "Does this just mean vocabulary words? Other than blorbo and sweet cinnamon roll etc, I can't think of what a Tumblr accent would be." I almost never see anyone use the word "enjoyer" anywhere outside of tumblr, but I see it on tumblr fairly frequently.

Another one is the verb "perceive" i.e. "don't perceive me" "I am perceiving" "I am being percieved." That's something that feels very specific to tumblr parlance.

There's the thing where people on tumblr have an emotional reaction to something and instead of, or in addition to telling you how they feel about it using emotion words, they will narrate a fictional action in the present progressive tense. "I am gnawing at the bars of my enclosure "I am kissing you on the mouth" "you are going into the soup" "you are getting all of the awards"

I once saw someone use that response format in ... I think it was a restaurant review, or a doordash review, or something like that. It was very unexpected seeing it outside of a tumblr post.

There are a lot of other tumblr linguistic quirks I can't currently remember off the top of my head, but I'll instantly recognize them if I see/hear them outside of tumblr. It's always a bit startling to see them out of context.

when I was in university one of my modules was about internet slang and for our grades project we had to compile and analyse a small database of 100 words used by a specific community of our choice. I chose tumblr and that's how I stumbled across Gretchen McCulloch's research and discovered that yes not only did tumblr have its own vernacular and syntax (as @lierdumoa demonstrates), it was at the time a crucible of slang and memes probably unrivalled by any other part of the internet. and it's stayed that way! even the very title is McCulloch's book because internet is an example of this specific phraseology.

sadly my project is lost due to the website being wiped from the university database after graduation and my then laptop having a major hardware failure. backup your backups people! but the crux of the entire module was that the internet is full of communities using language not only as jargon for specific purpose but also to signal membership in said community. I even wrote a bit about non capitalisation and punctuation useage as a visual cue on tumblr and how including information in the reblog body or the tags indicated different levels of importance or intimacy of thought

I am holding the side of your face and looking deep in your eyes and telling you that love is stored in the syntax, and that we are rotating words together all at once as we all nod at their new and baffling meanings. if the devils sacrament be tumblr then the devils gospel is our collective voice. thanks for coming to my tedtalk

I am being perceived.

sqrt-73

you've heard of optimal square packing, but packing cubes in cubes also exists.

is the optimal for 12 cubes. (image from https://erich-friedman.github.io/packing/cubincub/ )

ok this is even more cursed than squares. i love it and hate it at the same time. my eyes bleed out with hearts to this.

salmonspine

pfff, rookie, wait till you make an integer variable and then perform numerous operations on the variable and then output it to the terminal

python3-official

But have you even gotten that integer as input from the user?

bisexual-engineer-girl

Why is it that every mechanical engineer I've met is like a normal guy, maybe a little bit into cars, usually a cishet guy, and then every electrical engineer I know is either a transgender furry or mad scientist (or both). Do the radio waves turn you insane or something

laurastaceysclosepersonalfriend

Okay but like not to beat the point to death but Laura Stacey really is that girl

She’s the great-granddaughter of a legendary hockey player, she bounced back and made the national team after breaking both her wrists in college, she lost gold at the Olympics and started a charity about it, she married another legendary hockey player that she fell in love with when they saw a shooting star that no one else did when they were skinny dipping with their team, they won gold at the Olympics and then had the royal wedding of Canadian women’s hockey and they have the cutest dog ever, shes alternate captain on a professional team with her wife who is the captain, they play on a line together, when she was the only captain/alternate captain not injured she led her team to first place, she leads the league in shorthanded goals this season, she scored a goal one time on her wife’s birthday when the clock showed both of their numbers, she had her knee popped back in its socket on the ice (probably) with 8 seconds left in the game then went on to assist the game winning goal in overtime that same game, she won the Walter cup with holes in her socks, anyway shes so fucking cool
