Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

"Are there any Medici left? No, there are no descendants of the Medici left today. The family ended with the death of Anna Maria Luisa.
Of course there are thousands of people with some DNA or “blood” in common with the Medici, but that means nothing. If someone is claiming to be a descendant of the Medici, is a scammer or has been scammed"
Wut
I'm assuming this means they have common ancestors with the famous Medici, but it goes back even more generations so they're not descendants of those people
I mean technically we all are related if you go far back enough. Probably you and I are related if you go back 10, maybe 20 generations, but you're not a descendant of my grandparents (I assume - would be weird to find out otherwise)
