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.

Books of The Times:

a vignette describing Mr. Nixon's lack of mechanical ability, in which a Presidential aide, Stephen Bull, recounts having once been asked by the President to open an allergy‐pill bottle with teeth marks on its childproof cap where Mr. Nixon had apparently tried to gnaw it open.

On another note: The Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970 (PPPA) was signed into law by Richard Nixon on 1970

To be fair to Nixon... some of those "press-down-and-twist" bottle caps could be really difficult to open while others wasn't. I remember old people especially complaining about them way back then - they were next-to-impossible to open for somebody with arthritic wrists.

They are rare here in South Africa these days - they've pretty much been replaced by the "line-up-the-arrows" type lids.
