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.

Speak for yourself. I've been lodging calcium carbonate sticks up my nose for decades!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Saw that. Looked it up in case it was me who had been misusing it my entire life (fortunately, i had not) but the etymology was interesting.

Middle English chokkefull, probably from choken to choke + full

Pretty sure they didn’t have push lawnmowers like we do, what else has a choke?

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Equivalent of "stuffed to the gills"

a pre-heimlich esophagus.

The primal instinct to pick up Very Nice Stick and Very Shiny Rock

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Those seem ... conspicuously violence-related.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Skip rock. Throw stick for dog.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Mmmmmmmm . . . Stick. Rock.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Brain: "Look, a cool rock."

Fella: "I guess."

Brain: "Pick it up."

Fella: "What? Why?"

Brain: "You gotta!"

Even the violent instincts are often better than implied. They tend to take the form of "Defend" or "Protect".

Very few people have the instinct to attack or hurt. That is learnt and reasoned.

Farting around and fucking around can mean the same thing, I guess. 🤔

Free your mind and your ass will follow

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Please don't free your ass except in designated areas.

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You can dance if you want to.

[–] sjmarf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We can leave your friends behind

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance - well they're no friends of mine

[–] No1@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

But please dance in a safe and responsible manner.

Remember to always Safety Dance.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's not what an instinct is. This post has good energy and little education.

my most primal instinct is to share food.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’ll allow it. You gonna eat that?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

yeah but you can have it after

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

Man, based on that list, I (and probably most people these days) suck at satisfying / engaging with my primal instincts. Eating lots of food is definitely an instinct, too, but that's a bit of an issue when getting high calourie food is easy and most of us are sitting on our asses all day.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

I got the misanthrope trait instead of befriend dance sing tell story.

[–] FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus 4 points 2 months ago

Amen.

Fuck Hobbes and his “state of nature”.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can I have a factor reset? I seem to have gotten anxiety, depression, possible OCD, and such instead of 'dance'.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You can! ping!

Now listen to some P-funk and put on those boogie shoes
