The rats have fled the sinking ship The wolves have fled the sinking ship The dragons have fled the-
I’m not even joking furries account for like 30% of all modern tech infrastructure.

Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book. It’s almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.

#tbf the dude wrote it to be a dick
yes. yes he did. i’m also gonna direct you to the real life ‘lord of the flies’ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until they’d cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. here’s a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.  i read about this in rutger bregman’s human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you don’t want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.

They’re called stretch marks, they happen when the human is growing fast enough to actually outgrow their skin, which is apparently something that just fucking happens to almost all of them at some point of their life.” and another one is like ”wait so you’re saying humans don’t have stripes.” ”actually they do, but the stripes are invisible. There’s genetic code that’d give them stripes but they’re just the same colour as the rest of the skin. So the visible stripes are not real stripes and the real stripes are invisible.” ”I swear if you tell me one more weird human thing today I’m beating your ass.”
The human in the room looks up and goes “Wait I have stripes?”
“what do you mean cats can see them, but I can’t?”
what do you fucking mean cats can see them
I WENT THROUGH THE SAME THOUGHT PROCESS MY CAT THINKS I HAVE STRIPES?!?!?!?
NO NO ITS NOT “IT THINKS I HAVE THEM” BECAUSE WE DO APPARENTLY SO ITS ACTUALLY A VERY DISTRESSED “MY CAT THINKS I KNOW I HAVE STRIPES?!?!?!” AND I THINK THATS A BIT WORSE TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST
MY CAT KNEW I HAD STRIPES BEFORE I DID?!?!?!?!?!?
I DIDNT THINK OF THAT
WELL I DID AND NOW I CANT UNTHINK IT
@beenovel @messiambrandybuck these are the variants
WHAT
apparently there’s a disease where they become visable, and these are the most common kind?? Ngl it looks cool but???? I’m still in shock tbh
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT PATTERN OF STRIPES I HAVE AND THE CATS WON’T TELL ME
I COULD HAVE A CHECKERBOARD ON MY BACK AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW???
They’re called Blaschko’s lines!!!
The reverse can also be true … kinda. I remember reading somehwre the human eye can see more shades of green than any other colour. I just googled it and the human eye can see 10 Million different shades of green. So human could see stripes and patterns on, say, a reptillian race who maybe can’t see as many colours as we do, and think they’re just one boring shade of green. Human: We have stripes?! I wish I could see them. I hope they look like yours. Reptile Alien: Wait, I HAVE STRIPES! *mutual excitement all around*
queensparklekitten: queensparklekitten: “oh no we’re all doomed by the narrative” maybe you are. i’m the narrative’s favourite.
update: turns out this is not a good thing for me
straybeetle: sassyscene: IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A OUPPY 🐕 AND A KITTYS 🐈 TO BE FRIENDS?
beaft: characters who view themselves as tools/weapons first and people second… characters who martyr themselves for a cause because they think that’s the only way they can be worth something… characters who push themselves past their breaking point again and again and again… characters for whom devotion and masochism are inseparable… characters whose self-sacrifice becomes self-annihilation…… what was my point again? i had a point. anyway.

penisman420-69: noxianjoinedthegame: how does tumblr even work do you just like talk to yourself until people are like “i like this one”
this is actually exactly how it works
butchdarling: You know that study that found when doing a blind taste test the majority of people prefer pepsi over coca cola so coke changed their recipe to taste more like pepsi, and people actually liked the new coke a lot less because the people who were buying coke didn’t want it to taste like pepsi they wanted their coke to taste like coke. That’s what a lot of the new changes tumblr is working on feel like.

horrorgay: horrorgay: ok so. who has been on here (tumblr) for an entire decade of their life? 10 years + 7-9 years 4-6 years 1-3 years less than a year less than a month
So this is a visual representation of “are the new users you’re changing the entire app and website layout/features for in the room with us right now”.
