Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis 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 PostsSome 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.

If the trailer had some steering/drive, ok. This illustrated concept of a "detached hitch" has some physics problems, since the trailer is just going to yank that thing all over the place.

Yes towing.... ?

Ideally in towing, the trailer is yanked where you want it to go, but if the towing vehicle doesn't have the mass, then the trailer yanks the vehicle where the trailer wants to go.
