rebageling both for the a+ joke and because I may be one of the few people in the world who could pass/interact with both groups.
My favorite part of this joke was telling it to my mom and gramma.
They both laughed.
Then my gramma paused and asked why it was a gay bar.
My mom explained bears in the gay context.
And gramma laughed harder.
Mom was curious why she laughed if she didn’t know what a bear was.
Gramma explained the [exit pursued by bear] play joke, which mom didn’t know was a play reference.
Mom laughed harder.
All the while I’m cracking up because I love this joke for both the Shakespeare joke and the gay bar joke, and these two finding it funny even though they only knew half of the joke (and opposite halves).
Also my mom explaining to my gramma what a bear is, definitely one of the best moments of my life.
I’m enjoying how when everyone fled to Tumblr from Twitter, we were very concerned and posted a lot of handy guides to Tumblr Community Practices and warnings about what to do if a Twitter immigrant doesn’t understand the rules.
And now we’ve got refugees from Reddit on the way and we’re all sitting on the hillside watching their trucks kick up dust as they roll down the road in the distance, looking at each other, saying “Yeah…I been to Reddit. Hell, I got a sister married a Redditor. No need to worry, they’re about on Tumblr’s level. They know the score.”
oh gee discord should I try adding numbers? should I try that???? should I try adding numbers to the end of my username so that it’s individualized and only mine???? should I try adding numbers??????????
I cannot BELIEVE you guys actually signing up to netflix just because account sharing was banned. You need to learn about cool websites with many beautiful women who would love you message you and send you downloadable files.
i learned that sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children. This myth is based on a single 1978 study; no subsequent study has shown a relationship (x)
In fact, a meta-analysis of 16 different studies on sugar and hyperactivity all came back with the same result: ’sugar does not affect the behaviour or cognitive performance of children’. If sugar does change something, it’s parental expectations of their children
The Sweet Truth. The sugar-hyperactivity myth is based on a single study from the mid 1970’s in which a doctor removed the sugar from one child’s diet and that child’s behavior improved. Since then, over a dozen larger studies have been conducted without proving sugar causes hyperactivity.
Love all the people in the notes who are like “well CLEARLY you haven’t had this anecdotal experience that totally invalidates the results of double-blind scientific studies”
