I just hate seeing people bring the same mindless call & response reddit bullshit here.

It's like some bizarre form of meme dogma.

"Happy cake day" makes me cringe too.

No no you're thinking of transistor.

What Poe did was transmit radio and television signals.

No, you're thinking of a transmitter.

Poe liked to wear women's clothes.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
