    I still don’t think I fully understand, even as the unabomber put it. Can’t eat it and have it? Like, I can’t consume and expect the thing to remain, that it?

    Side note: only in English, one can “understand”, but nobody can “overstand” and anybody that “stand” is doing a wholly different thing.

      It comes down to “You can’t have the best of two situations. Pick one.”

        Yes it means for you to get one cake. Then eat the cake and yet still have the one cake you got.

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.
