Ask around, visit a friend's house, and it seems like everyone has an air fryer all of a sudden. They seem pretty cool, but such new technology has yet to be experimented upon by the home scientists among us. @KLobstar went ahead and did some cutting edge science, seeing what would happen if you left this newfangled device to operate on a hot dog for 120 minutes. For some more loose handling of the science, Here's a handy tumblr list of the lickable sciences.

@SaystheFox found some hard times and put that energy into making some magic happen for a kid in their neighborhood. It's probably some of the more wholesome stuff we've seen. Also, points for getting the parents in on it because without that this whole thing would probably be the creepiest thing we've ever experienced. For more wholesomeness, here's some wholesome memes to keep the feels intact and a quick tumblr post on kids language struggles.

Tumblr is generally the place where people get exhaustive about the annoying types of characters they see over and over again in books, tv and movies. Movies are a business and we tend to not question repetition, like these very limited types of movie posters. For some, these characters are so unrealistic that it takes away from the story. It's a bit like this Twitter thread making fun of how male authors describe women.

Rejection sensitive dysphoria is a symptom of ADHD that can make it way too easy to second guess one's self in social situations and in essence, take the fun out of everything. It's a pretty relatable feeling for anyone who's ever felt out of place or anxious in social settings. For more stuff like this, here's a twitter thread on living with ADHD.

We like to think our lives are boring and pointless, but sometimes there's office shrimp drama. This underhanded coworker struck a defenseless order of shrimp fried rice and lied through her teeth about it in a way that only a born psychopath could. For more office drama, here's a Karen who threw away an expensive cake before the office fought back.

As it turns out, coffee seems to exist in the Star Wars universe, and has ben mentioned a few times in various works. @ViWiWrites went and detailed what different character's preferred to drink in the morning, and how they make it, based on their personalities. It has a whole lot of us sympathizing with Darth Vader. For another fun star wars thread, here's a thread on exactly how Darth Vader is the queen of drama.

It's all weird here, and it's not getting much better. Tumblr is an ocean of thoughts, smooshing and grinding away at each other in hopes that one day there will be a final, perfect thought. It will probably be about Shrek or something.  For more tumblr bits, here are some prized tumblr gems from tumblr's best.

For a lot of people, daily life doesn't look like how it used to, and it won't go back to normal tomorrow or the next day. Aisha Ahmad explains that part of getting through it is having a strategy to deal with that 6 month wall and learning how to adapt to a somehow stagnating but also everchanging reality. If it's worth anything, here are some wholesome memes.

Memes are a sort of ephemeral form of communication. Most of them need some sort of context in order to operate well. As this tumblr thread shows, the further we get from some, understanding them becomes a form of cultural anthropology. These ones still mostly make sense though so it's still pretty funny. For more tumblr stuff, here are some random tumblr gems to tumble through.

Human beings are peculiar creatures with a strange set of rules. We catch onto trends quickly, but can be easily swayed by minor changes in our environment, especially when it has to do with getting tickets we could trade in for cheap, horrible prizes.

There's a tradition in the U.S. navy that no submarine is lost at sea, and every Christmas a broadcast is sent out to all the crews of those subs still on duty. Naturally, tumblr took it and made it into a whole ghost ship thing, which is somehow macabre but also heartwarming. Why not, people see some unexplained stuff at sea. For a totally classic navy story, here's a Navy operations officer who pulled the laziest move ever.

As convenient as a greeting card can be, it's a shame they only make them for boiler-plate events like birthdays and holidays.

With a flick of a pen, any card can be expertly repurposed.

Following the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, people were compelled to tell stories of the supreme court justice's impact and legacy. In this instance we have a guy sharing his time working with the justices in a fantasy baseball league. The thought of having a petty fantasy league moment in such an official setting is surreal.

Do you eat food off the ground? Do you collect small rocks and things? Do you make strange noises and leave all your belongings in a big pile? You may very well have a goblin personality. For some more fantasy inspired tumblr stuff, here's a tumblr thread on the theory that dwarves have intelligent super beards.

The career of Snoop Dogg is long and interesting, and he's managed to work his way into popular culture in a way unlike anyone else. Tumblr fawns over his more down to earth aspects, his cook book, and the fact that Martha Stewart is a convicted felon while he isn't. You can never be too sure of what kind of golden moments will come out of the world of Tumblr.

Here's a good reminder that the way your country does things isn't necessarily the way it's done everywhere. We can see how this person would have a bit of an issue over the use of a stick of butter in a recipe. Tumblr can be home to some culture clashes, or a place for learning, like this Tumblr thread on the USA explained.
