My friends are obsessed with this and now I can't stop thinking about it.

it is insane how fucking tiny these buttons are did they not like. consider the concept of UI scaling like at all. did they not consider what theyd do if someone had a big monitor. what is this shit

why asre there two post buttons. why do i get little numbers next to 'home' and 'following' when btoh are giving me the exact same information. why is it that when you open the account view you have the exact same information on both sides of your screen. why is it that the activity popup obscuires the dashboard now instead of the 1000000 miles of empty space on my god damn desktop. did they not consider the concept of UI scaling at all?????

when i first saw people p[ostp about this i thought maybe they were overreacting because they hate twitter and change but like. whatever you think abotu the concept of 'putting all this shit on the left side of your screen' as a bold UI innovation or whatever in concept this shit is like. just straight up unfinished. like i legitimately dont understand how this was considered ready to roll out to users

why does the activity popup open on the ONE part of my screen i DONT want to be obscured when im using tumblr dot com!!

no seriously why is this information displayed twice one inch apart. im not being snarky when i say this genuinely just seems actually unfinished

dont talk to me or my three (3) 'activity' buttons that show up when you're already on the activity page ever again

• Something that makes you laugh (or smile, if that fits more comfortably)
  

• Something that surprised you (in how it turned out, how much other people liked it, etc.)
  

• Something you want other people to see
  

I will no pressure tag @sheogayrath​ @new-austin​ @kitsuonyo​ @pinkysberg​ @dragonwithafez​ sorry if you’ve been tagged already !

i think it's really fucking funny actually how they forgot to make the new tumbler web ui scale at all, this shit is tiny as fuck on my 4k monitor

WHY DID YOU MAKE THE POSTS LESS WIDE, LIKE THIS UI IS NOT JUST BUNCHED UP FOR NO REASON IT ALSO SQUISHES THE INBOX AND DASH FOR LITERALLY NO REASON, MY SCREEN IS WIDE USE THAT SPACE

like i wouldnt even care THAT much about the buttons having moved to the left (its a useless change but like yea whatever) if they at least fucking did it in a clean and responsive way and didnt just squish the site even more, there wouldve been a way to do this that wouldve ended up leaving extra space for posts n stuff that isnt there right now but NO

liam is the worst member of one direction but indisputably has the best tweets

the fact that pro-monarchy arguments have degenerated, over the past few centuries, from “the king rules by divine right and is accountable to nobody but god”, to “uhm the royals generate a lot of income from tourism” will never stop being extremely funny to me

the monarchs… bad. but the castles? oh, the castles are positively lush with rats… 👅

One of my favorite things is learning what words people used for this hand game—where you sit in a circle with your hands facing up, right hand on top of your neighbor's, left hand below your other neighbor's, and you sequentially go around slapping right hand into left— where they lived when they were kids. The regional variations are the best. It's in Wikipedia as "Stella Ella Ola," but for me (and many NE USAmericans) it's "Quack Diddly Oso."

The way these games are taught to younger kids by older kids and spread throughout regions is so fascinating; I want a visualization where you can see what happens when one random kid 50 years ago moved to a different state. I have no idea how widespread this game is, but I think it's all across the US and Canada, at a minimum. I haven't seen my kids play this—is it still a thing?

In my school in the 90s, it went like this—

Quack diddly oso, 
Quack, quack, quack, 
Señorita, 
Rita, rita, rita, 
Velour, velour, 
Velour, velour, velour, velour, 
1, 2, 3, 4!

I especially appreciate the versions that include “your mother smells like pizza,” “the toilet over fulled,” and “the cat peed on the floor,” “potatoes on the floor-a”

What about you? Anyone play it outside of North America?

everyone who played “down by the banks,” I feel sorry for you that you had such a boring version
