[look for the answer in the replies]

(*yes, we don’t know if that’s why the person who wrote the Voynich Manuscript did it. this is just an imagining for the purposes of this poll.)

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

no one tell him

Scheduling this to post on March 15 because it needs to happen.

March 15 again and here we go…

ID: Contrary to what the initial reblog states, this is a picture of a steak knife stabbed through a bottle of Caesar dressing.

In the early 1900s, tuberculosis ran rampant amongst the population of the US, leading to the establishment of a large number of dedicated medical facilities for treating the sufferers of this malady. People with tuberculosis, which was once referred to colloquially as consumption, could progress to a stage where the only treatment was placement in an iron lung, a large tube-shaped apparatus where the patient would end up spending the rest of their life while the machine breathed for them.

The Lima Tuberculosis Hospital was one of these facilities. Built in 1910, the hospital was closed in 1972, and the land was transferred to the Allen County Board of Commissioners. Because the hospital had a large amount of asbestos insulation, it could not be rehabbed to be used as a building for another purpose. Eventually, the land was sold to the owners of the dump next door, which eventually came under ownership of national corporation Waste Management. Although it was supposed to be torn down soon after its closure, its status lingered for 42 years, Waste Management being too stingy to be willing to pay to have the building torn down using the proper mitigation procedures. This led to the building deteriorating year-by-year, gaining more and more graffiti and damage, and people who wanted to explore often being issued citations for trespassing.

On Halloween of 2020 things finally came to a head when a large number of people showed up to explore and Waste Management blocked the land off entirely with fencing.

The building was finally torn down in 2024.

someone recently told me Josh Johnson really gets into a charismatic preacher cadence sometimes

(I ran this poll once before, but Josh is getting more popular since he started hosting the Daily Show, so I thought maybe I’d get more responses now)

You go to sleep and wake up again in a time and place you do not recognize. You turn on the TV to learn you have entered an alternate timeline where the US presidential election is about to happen. You open your wallet and find that you have an American ID, but you don’t know what any of the parties actually stands for.

You try to open your kitchen drawer and find one of your utensils has gotten trapped between the back of the drawer and the counter, making it impossible to open the drawer. You jiggle the drawer vigorously and the utensil snaps in half.

#how the sainted FUCK do you snap a cheese grater? (via @theeldritchcorvid)

tnf I was thinking of this style of thing:

If you were thinking of the box-style cheese graters I can see why you’d be confused.

I sense a consensus is being reached

Y'all were kind of split on Columbo but otherwise we all agreed

self care is declaring yourself dictator for life and then becoming a god after getting stabbed 23 times

ID: Two screenshots from the Simpsons. In the first, Lisa Simpson, eyes narrowed, addresses her father, Homer, and says, “Beware the Ides of March.”

In the second, Homer, wearing a purple costume with broad shoulders, replies with a nonplussed expression: “No.”

In other words, you weren’t there to witness the compliment, so it wasn’t done to make you feel good, or anything

[Please do use this as an excuse to gas yourself up in the notes!]

My brother is several years younger than myself and when he was in marching band the director decided to try out the band arrangement of “You Can Call Me Al” to see if any of the piccolo players could manage the solo. Someone was able to make their way through it. Once they finished playing, the band director said, “Oh, I’m glad [piccolo player] was able to play that solo! We haven’t been able to play that song since [in-sufficientdata] was in band.”

shit shit shit it’s march i forgot to promote this print to yall:

read it carefully lol it’s the callout of Caesar

i should emphasize, I did NOT write the original post, that was done by @heresmyfiddlestick and they get a cut of the sales from these prints.

I’m not sure how to format image IDs when they’re this long so I hope this is right:

[image ID: A sheet of calligraphy print with gold and purple vinework and red daggerlike flowers. In the border there is a torn, purple lined bit of cloth meant to read as a toga and there it begins with a large drop capital F in red. the text reads as follows

Friends, mutuals, countrymen, do not scroll past;

I come to cancel Caesar, not to stan him.

The cringe posts that men make live after them;

The nuance oft interred with their bones;

So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus

Hath told you Caesar was problematic:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–

For Brutus is an honourable man;

So are they all, all honourable men–

Come I to comment on Caesar’s call-out post.

He was my mutual, faithful and just to me:

But Brutus says he was problematic;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

He hath brought many hot takes to my dash

Whose notifs did the general discourse fill:

Did this in Caesar seem problematic?

When that anons have cried, Caesar hath wept:

Toxicity should be made of sterner stuff:

Yet Brutus says he was problematic;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

You all did see that on the Tumblr Blaze

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse: was this problematic?

Yet Brutus says he was problematic;

And, sure, he is an honourable man.

I speak not to start discourse with Brutus,

But just to provide some context on his call-out post.

You all did stan him once, not without cause:

What cause withholds you then, to follow him?

why do people reblog things from my personal tag WITH the tag intact

Beware the Ides of March [x]

ID: The painting The Death of Caesar by Jean-Léon Gérôme, which depicts the entire Roman Senate attacking Julius Caesar with knives. Caesar, wearing red and orange robes, is overwhelmed and has fallen backward, while the attacking senators are beginning to depart after the deed has been done. Some are holding their knives yet aloft, as if proud of their act, while others have their heads bowed.

There is a caption superimposed in a white box over the painting, which says, “I came out to have a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now.”

end ID.
