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.

This kinda reminds me of a book I read as a kid. I cannot remember what it was called, but the main character was also a kid.
Anyway, the premise is that the main character thinks their family is really weird, for a number of odd-but-wholesome reasons, the most prominent of which was the nightly "screaming sessions". According to the main character, they would all get together at a certain time during the evening and just scream to relieve frustration and whatnot.
Not sure where I was going with this, but it always stuck with me how the parents just wanted the best for their kids.
If anyone recognizes this and knows the book, let me know...
Are you sure it's a book? Apparently it's a tradition in Uppsala, a student city in Sweden. A few videos made the rounds ten years ago or so.
Edit: added link. English Wikipedia doesn't put as much emphasis on Uppsala as other sources.
Might be a tradition, which sounds fun, but I absolutely read it in a book as a kid as well.
