Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis 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 PostsSome 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.

If we’re going by “the Bible says,” then we also have to acknowledge that the Gospels clearly place the crucifixion right after Passover, which occurs in springtime, not in November. Either this eclipse isn’t the explanation for the alleged three hours of darkness, or the Gospels got the timeline of the Passion completely wrong.

Or they just made up the sky getting darker because that's a very common motif in mythology. It's by far the simplest explanation.

Oh, absolutely. I’m just here to call out the inconsistency.
