Millions of pictures of Dogs on the Internet but this thing... I reconice immediately

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

I was just thinking about this right after posting it. Any other husky would look the same to me, but I somehow immediately know this is The Thing.

I don't get the part about tags by @lwgionofpotatoes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, I can explain. On tumblr, tags are usually just visible if you look at one person's particular reblogging of a post, so if you want to highlight specific tags while also crediting the person who made them, you have to either screenshot them or quote them with attribution, which is what was done here.

Yes, it's a pretty bad design, but that's tumblr for ya.

So is the whole thing a tag? #listen. You know I'm always down... ? It's one tag?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, the whole thing is a tag. On tumblr you have a lot of useful tags such as #anarchism or whatever, but people also put whatever thoughts they have in the tags.

Another day of tumblr users being unfunny and incomprehensible

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Another day of people not getting a reference calling the people that do get the reference "unfunny and incomprehensible" instead of saying nothing and moving on with their lives.

The horrors are beyond their comprehension

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

I's literally just an image of a husky in snow, even if I would watch a movie from over 40 years ago I might not recognize it here. Not incomprehensible maybe but unfunny anyway

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

this appears to be a frame from the movie The Thing

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lmao, I assumed it was a furry thing.

I haven't even watched the thing and i get it. Whatever rock you live under is dangerously large and you some vacate the area immediately.

I'm maybe just not 50+ years old like the rest of the userbase lol

Do you think people only watch films that are younger than themselves?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

people generally watch more new films than old films, yes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

But not solely. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t seen at least a few films that are older than them. And if you haven’t, you really should, there are some amazing timeless classics from the 70s, 80s, 90s, etc. out there. Even some that are close to 100 years old.
