Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This 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 Posts
Some 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.

Fun fact: electric kettles are nerfed in the US and other 110V countries (~1kW vs ~2kW of power usage)
Still faster than a gas stove tho
We have stuff like NEMA 6-15 outlets in the USA, and there are other countries where 220v at 60hz is the norm -- so it's possible to get kettles designed for that.
Alternatively: for around the same price you could get an "instant hot" water heater installed under the sink and have dedicated tap for boiling hot water without any wait.
Mine is 1.5kW in Canada. But I often wish I could buy a UK one and hook it to my dryer outlet.
Don't let your dreams be dreams
