Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Maybe it's just anything Greek. I remember reading a comment chain right here on Lemmy like 6 months ago, something about a thing/machine/software named Prometheus. One commenter wondered why they'd name themselves after an Alien movie.

Ouch. Prometheus himself would probably have turned around and returned the fire where it came from if he knew about that.

"I still get punished for helping those idiots thousands of years ago? Boy, that was so not worth it."

Right!? The Alien from 'Kablam!' who taught Bob deserves better than that.

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah, after suffering so much.
