For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

Apparently there's no actual evidence to suggest cats can see them. Lame

Even if cats could talk, and could definately see the stripes, I'm convinced that they wouldn't tell anyone.

They'd gossip about them with other cats behind your back

"Kevin's stripes make him look like a moron"

I know it's the wrong sub for this opinion, but that's a fucking annoying way to post.

It's convenient for mobile users, I can see how it would be frustrating for people with landscape/horizontal monitor though.

I am using google chrome and I found that opening the post's image in a new tab, clicking on the image once to zoom in, and then adjusting the zoom setting to 250% made the image easier to view and scroll. I hope that helps.

As aliens describing us? Or a large screenshot?

If cats can see them, then surely we can make tech that converts those wavelengths to one's humans can see, so we can admire each other's stripes.

This should be at the top.

I believe "bruh" is the appropriate gender neutral pronoun.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Bruh is interchangable with bro

How do you do, fellow striped humans?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Theeee fuck?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Anyone know whether we can see these stripes in some way? IR cameras? Ultraviolet spectrum?

My Charlotte after I asked her to tell me what kind of stripes I have: no
