Help, I need to find that post on tumblr language/linguistics/pidgin. It was NOT one of those tumblr slang translation posts. It started with someone pointing out how we all know when to pause despite the lack of punctuation, and then someone ended up defining pidgin and explaining how we’d actually developed a pidgin English on tumblr.

313km asked: Hi there! I'm actually an pretty solid ENFP =) (or ambivert xnfp...I'm still trying to figure out myself lol.) I suppose that post did sound a little INTJ-ish of me, but if you take a quick scroll through my blog, it may look a little more obvious that I'm not ahaha. =P I'd like to think my functions are balancing out, though. And I admire INTJs. I think they're super...
Looking through my earliest likes and wondering what was wrong with my photography taste. I was turning into a hipster… when I didn’t even know what a hipster was. (Tumblr taught me that a few months in.)

Have you ever looked at the sun and thought
Wow, that’s the same sun that Julius Caesar’s army fought under,
the same one under which the great pyramids and the Great Wall of China were built,
the same sun that witnessed the destruction of empires, the birth of new nations,
the same sun under which our founding fathers fought for our independence,
the one who’s name has...

Terrorist-fighting gerbils
MI5, the United Kingdom’s counter-intelligence and security agency, considered using a team of trained gerbils to detect terrorists flying into Britain during the 1970s. According to Sir Stephen Lander, the organization’s former director, the Israelis had put the idea into practice, placing gerbil cages at security checks at the Tel Aviv airport. A fan wafted the scent of suspects into the...

Allosaurus Ate Like a Terrifying Two-Ton Falcon →
Tyrannosaurus rex was a thrasher, prone to vigorously shaking its powerful, prey-packed jaws from side-to-side like a crocodile. But new simulations reveal Allosaurus was equipped to dismember its prey with a little more decorum, stripping flesh from bone not with the head-swinging motion of a croc, but the meticulous tug-tug-tug of a falcon.
allosaurus dinner time! *pulls out knife and fork*

Tumblr Identity Crisis Fixed
IMO loosely-themed blogs are the most interesting and valuable, which is why I was unhappy to realize how Unconscious Plots had degenerated. After thinking a bit, I’ve decided on a blog themed to please science fiction aficionados and writers.

inspiring history
inspiring technology developments
science fiction book, movie, and TV...

I like how there are so many people who think that Loki is really an alright guy and he’s misunderstood and it’s not his fault.
Just goes to show that he truly is a great villain, because not only did he manage to manipulate his fellow characters into believing that he meant well and get them to do exactly what he wanted long enough to nearly destroy a planet and usurp a kingdom
