I had to look up what "holy shit two cakes" was referring to. I thought I recognized it but I couldn't remember off the top of my head what it was.

But forty cakes is as many as four tens, and that's awful

Semi-relevant story time!

A couple weeks ago I was watching a favorite Youtuber, 12Tone, deconstructing a song I wasn't aware of. During the intro he made a joke about trying to explain the song, then stopped, saying everyone already knew what the song was. I had no idea at all. So I went and listened to the song and looked up a bit more about it.

Due to some weird convergence of chance and Matrix-esque internet dodging that I didn't know I was doing, I somehow missed out on the phenomenon that was Mr. Brightside.

It's a really good song and I had the fortune to be one of that day's lucky 10,000.

I don't doubt you and I don't judge you but... HOW

Seriously no idea at all. My wife, who doesn't generally care for music at all was very well acquainted with it. It was just one of those one-in-a-million things just seemed to happen.

Why is Tumblr getting the credit when it’s an XKCD comic that has the message, not the platform.

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.
