Did you know that so many different animals have evolved into crab-like forms that there's a name for the process? It's called carcinisation. A lot of "crabs" aren't true crabs and are not related to each other

Did you know that Snufkin and Little My of the Moomin series are siblings?

Did you know that whales still have vestigial hind leg bones as part of their skeletons? They don’t protrude outside the body as usable limbs, but they’re there!

Did you know that helicopter comes from the Greek words "helix" and "pteron" meaning "spiral wing". Because of this, like in the word pterodactyl, it could be argued that the p in helicopter should be silent.

Did you know that in the Elder Scrolls series, the Orcs and Dwarves are subspecies to elves?

I don't like how you are always dissing Dutch, Dutch is a pretty language!

Speaking Dutch feels like trying to wash your mouth with dry hay.

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

I heard reference to something about how all anime are required to have good looking cabbage because of That One Time. So simply looking up "anime cabbage" I found the source.

Some harem anime way back in the day had an episode where the characters cooked, and they animated cabbage so terribly like this it left a bad mark on the anime community forever. Apparently this is part of the reason why all food usually looks good in anime, even moreso than the regular show sometimes. With cabbage being especially well drawn.

A complaint, apparently in a paper.

The first show when released internationally was reanimated in this part.

And high quality or low quality cabbage is sometimes referenced.

I learned of this because the most recent Hologra episode has noel eating cabbage, tearing apart a fine quality cabbage into two low poly halves.

So far one of the biggest differences between reddit and tumblr for me is that there's no pressure to create a "good" post. There's no button to reduce the number of notes a post has (unless you're the source of one of those notes, which I mean hey, you gave me these imaginary internet numbers in the first place, feel free to rescind them for any reason).

There's no bots that will automatically delete my post because I didn't have 10,000 tumbloints, users don't seem to come out of the woodwork to disparage your post if it doesn't meet some invisible standard of content (and if they do you can just block them)

I've had a reddit account for 14 years and I think you can already get a better picture of who I am as a person in my less then 12 hours of tumblr shitblogging.

Anyway, thanks tumblr friends for being so welcoming.

And thank you for referring to notes as “tumbloints”

Tumbloints officially in my lexicon now.

weird question but does anyone know how to read Japanese, I've been trying to find translations for some handwritten kanji and I can't find anything

imaveryevilgirl

here I'm just gonna post it, fuck it

the first two I could find online

3rd one's got me stumped

it's writing on an old game console so it's probably just a name, but I'm curious

eucalyptus-gl0bulus

That's a super Famicom, so maybe try checking that?

imaveryevilgirl

I'm impressed that you got that but I don't think it has any relation, but i can check, what should I check for

imaveryevilgirl

okay so from what i can find nothing matches up

it's not the name of the famicom, it's not nintendo, I highly doubt if it's a specific game

specific words I've checked for: broken, break, fix, fixing, power, video, audio, controller (idk if it works or not so I'm trying to see if it's a note on a potential problem), games, don't touch, stop, fuck off (I was getting frustrated)
