Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

This guy used rice to visualize the difference between one million and one billion and I thought it was pretty effective.

Volumetric comparisons end up grossly underrepresenting how much a billion really is. Human brain doesn’t really grasp the magnitude of a difference between a cubic centimeter and a cubic meter.
What we can immediately grasp is a difference between walking across a small parking lot and driving for a bloody hour.

The fun part about that one is that Bezos himself is now reported at about one third more than reported in that video, so... that pile is too small now.
But also, if you're gonna use visual aids that's cheating.
If anyone ever wanted evidence that humans are too stupid to survive 1000 more years, they should read your comments.
Yeah, I think I'm exposing your stupidy pretty effectively, right? I'm killing it with the visualizations today.
"hey I agree with your point entirely but you're fucking stupid. This other completely subjective way of saying your point is infinitely better even though it's incredibly easy to find issues with! I'm way better at communicating than you, despite the fact that it takes two seconds to find and point out the flaws in my communication"
"I agree with your point entirely but you're fucking stupid" is the best thing anybody has ever said to me. I'm making that into a t-shirt. A bumper sticker. I'm screenshotting that and using it as a wallpaper on my phone.
You think it's the best thing anyone ever said because you said it to him, dumbarse.
No, the line is good. His weird strawman thing is irrelevant otherwise, it's just such a great line.
Nice to see they'll live rent free in your head, while nobody here will remember you in a few days.
Pick your battle, my dude. You're expending a lot of energy getting in slap fights over something neither you nor anyone commenting truly cares about.
Do people remember me now? You're making me self conscious now. You are absolutely right that I don't care, though.
