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.

I remember a reddit post that apparently still makes me rant. Something something MGK at MSG.

What the fuck? Metal Gear Ketamine at Monosodium Glutemate?

MGK is Machine Gun Kelly, fair enough, but MSG is Madison Square Garden?

Go fuck yourself! One venue in one city on one planet does not get ONE three letter acronym!

MTG is another one that triggers me. I would rather see more MTG in the news than the MTG news I’m seeing these days.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

We don't see enough of the Muppets Theater Gang, I agree.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I saw it on a sign once and was hella confused why the school board was discussing either Magic or Ms Greene. It was Meeting

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Hard hats must be worn during all staff MTG. -the MGT

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Didn't you hear? The next set will be Urza's Congress and will feature the other MTG as a 0/1 red goblin with "Tap to prevent enemy from attacking. 'Her mad ramblings cause even the most stalwart foe to wander off in confusion'"

[–] Squirrel 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've never even played MTG, and I still hate that the acronym is now associated with some idiotic politician.

I find it weird that your okay with some dumbshit musician getting is his own acronym but not one of the most important venues in one of the world biggest most influential cities.

What's the other CNC? Command 'n' Conquer? 🤔

Edit: Also would add PnP to this list. As a techie, I immediately think of Plug'n'Play. But it has an entirely different meaning on dating apps/personal ads.

Is that a joke or are people actually saying this?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It's a consensual rape fantasy kink. It was actually featured in an episode of House.

No consensual non-consent is a real thing, it's a specific kind of sex roleplay

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I guess "rape play" was a bit too forward

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

People still use that term too, but the R-word can be a bit triggering to a lot of people, I think it helps to have a different term to call it that emphasizes that it really is consensual even though the fantasy you're playing out is that it isn't

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

Saying rapeplay is also a thing. But CNC is usually broader

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's a real thing. If you have a very trustworthy partner it can be a lot of fun, from either perspective.

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

it's a common term on fetlife, yes

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Command and Control in the infosec world.

The servers that control botnets.

What's the other meaning of PnP?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Party 'n' Play. It's code for sex while on meth (and possibly other drugs; here it's meth)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Makes me sad, my hardware is too old to be PnP-compatible

Having to open Urban Dictionary is more shameful to me than knowing these terms. I guess I'm old now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

A very useful tool for those of us out of the loop

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was a CNC operator for years before I heard the other meaning for CNC. Now when I see online discussions about CNC all I can think is "that slutty Mazak".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm gonna go call my Haas a dirty little whore.

"Yeah you like that don't you. Yeah gobble up those chips. Oh you're so messy you got coolant eeeeverywhere"

To be fair I don't know what the other meaning of CNC is, I just like freaking out the apprentice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I just like freaking out the apprentice.

A worthwhile endeavour.

Oh you're so messy you got coolant eeeeverywhere"

She's soaked, look, you can see her drip.

I work in engineering and only kow about the real CNC (ie machining). What's this other garbage imposter acronym stealer?

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

"consensual non-consent"

Rape play.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Every time I see EDM thrown around my brain reads it as Electronic Death Metal. I know that's not what it means, but I wish it did.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, it definitely means Electronic Dance Music... or maybe Electro Discharge Machining. Who's to say

The number of people who'd post on r/CNC (the machining one) looking for the other thing was low, but never zero...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Maybe your therapist knows that some play rape and cock and balls torture WOULD do you some good and you're just not hearing it. Kevin. Goddamn.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone into me? Did I hear that right?

Please also be mindful before trying to abbreviate "sales & marketing" in company emails.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ok so I see what the CNC one is, but what does CBT stand for? Cock butt taint therapy?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Cock and Ball Torture lol

Command and conquer

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I work as an accountant and my old boss - younger than me, mind you - always abbreviated the intercompany accounts (Due to/From) as DTF. To this day I have no idea if he was trolling us or really had not heard the acronym used, he never once broke.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

to be fair three-letter acronyms are only a problem on windows

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I think my kvm and nic I'm using also suggests hardware is also affected.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had a civil service job working at a hospital. Three letter abbreviations were my life

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

I used to work at IBM. We have used all of them, including letters, numbers, special characters, whistles and cartoon characters.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Is there a site that lists all of them for comparison. Sounds doable. Just links to wikipedia.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

consuming neck cartillage?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Probably Consensual non-consensuality, a BDSM practice

Source: am CNC myself

Just kidding, my CNC stands for “ChaoticNeutralCzech”. Actual source
