I don’t understand why entire statements come after octothorpes. I get hashtagging stuff and how it might help with organization, but I don’t understand why whole sentences.
I’m not trying to be pretentious or “dang young people,” I just sincerely don’t understand.
Other than that I enjoyed the post.
It’s a tumbler thing, iirc it’s the only way to add your own text when reposting.
more precisely it lets you add text that only shows up for people looking specifically at your reblog/boost/whateverthefuck the generic term is, unlike a reply which everyone afterwards can see.
So it’s like showing your friend something on the phone and making a snarky remark about it, they hear your remark but no one else does.
… I see. Thank you.
To be precise we take star-powder, dissolve it, and grow it into a mighty monocrystal of highest purity, and then slice it up into thin chips
Any space aliens that see or hear radio waves that find Earth as it is today must be thinking, “WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?”
I mean, in reality, any alien species that can receive and decode our infintesimally small signals is almost certainly thinking, “lolol look at those apes. They’re still playing with rocks.”
Bah, such soft sci-fi/modern fantasy drivel!
