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 think it's silly that they used the term as a term in a movie like that when it's a trope term, but we have billionaires naming surveillance companies Palantir and the Boring Company. It feels somewhat accurate in that sense. Someone sort of vaguely nerdy, out of touch, and giving something a name that's just way way way too on the nose.
