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.

This reminds me of another Tumblr post. The poster was also a trans man and he was using a homemade packer, but is slipped out while he was walking down a hallway at school. Unfortunately, a teacher just happened to be passing at the time and saw it happen. The teacher just flatly said "Man, I hate when that happens."

What does 'gak' mean in this context??

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It's.. it's . Gak.

You didn't pack gak in hs?

Hah, that's a blast from the past.

I remember seeing those ads, and then my elementary school teacher showing us how to make 'we have gak at home', basic non newtonian fluid, via mixing water and cornstarch in the right proportions, roughly 1 cup cornstarch to 1/2 cup water.

Apparently there is another fairly basic recipe that is closer to the very synthetic, actual gak, but is not non toxic, so you could try that with older kids, or I guess nostalgic, non suicidal adults:

Ah thanks. No, grew up without cable TV, so never saw any nickelodeon. I've only heard of gak as a name for cocaine.
