All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
For example, humans were considered to be distinct from chimpanzees and gorillas which were put in a group together. This was done mainly on the basis of morphology. Then it turned out that chimpanzees are far more closely related to humans than to gorillas.
Apparently our primary morphologically distinct feature is a chin?

I don't really know tumbler's comment structure. How does Julia Louis Dreyfus fit in?
I think the culture of not cropping out the person who reblogged this chain (i.e. Julia Louis Dreyfus) is sort of like an informal citation system. It's analogous to if I said "oh man, let me tell you this joke that my friend Julia told me". Whoever made this screenshot likely only saw this thread because they were following Julia Louis Dreyfus
They reblogged the overall interaction but didn't add anything themselves. They reblogged it from gumdrop which is why that name is there.
