Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

MODERATORS
The first video games were created in the 50s, and the precursors to them (like slot machines) are decades older. We are probably pretty close to that already.
Eh, that's like saying robots have existed for thousands of years because we've found ancient automata
I disagree. It’s more like correctly pointing out that fax machines were invented in the 1800s for the telegraph despite that they weren’t used that much for decades.
They might have existed, but few people actually played them or even knew about them then. Slot machines don't count, no video!
