I'll update this when I know how to get certain badges and such.

So I thought this was commonly known internet navigation (but apparently it might just be those of us who have been using the internet since the 90’s who still know it). Or so it seems based on… a grumpy comment I got.

When you see an arrow like this:

It means you click it to expand out a hidden section.

It’s an accordion section/menu! It’s useful in web design to hide information that may be overwhelming under specific headers so people can only see what they need.

Here I’m using it for people who need the content warnings to be able to check, but for those who don’t need them and don’t want to be spoiled to just move right past without accidentally reading anything.

It’s still the user’s responsibility to click the arrow and read things as they need! But it is all warned. (And, yes, the all encompassing issues are already a tag on the fic, I’m just providing additonal warnings per chapter.)

Ah, sorry yes! For those who want the html, it’s the details and summary tags!

Holy shit?? I didn’t know AO3 could do this. This is so useful!

Support for <details> was added about a year ago, and more people should definitely know about it!

I’ve been staring at this for 5 minutes

That’s what it looks like. That’s really what it looks like

Being out in the ocean is actually so scary because when you look really far out you can kind of see how the Earth is rounded out. It looks like a few miles ahead you’re just gonna fall off or something. Also fun trick: if ur on mobile, double tap zoom in and slide the picture side to side. It looks like you’re actually there looking left to right

DO THAT DO IT RIGHT NOW

Also fun: zoom in, then turn 📱 phone sideways brain go brrrrrrttt!

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

WHO IS USING THIS

AN APP??? THEY HAVE A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE

THE LAST FUNCTIONING WEBSITE

Reminder that ao3 does not have an app. Any apps you see are third party and are making money off of the writers without their consent. They’re also probably harvesting your data. Do not support this garbage.

How is bnha anime of the decade...... they aren’t even anime of the hour of the minute of the second

The notes on this post were so toxic that staff just axed em

1969.........

Yes, when the original post is deleted from the server (not just the blog, but the Tumblr servers), there is no root post for notes to be added onto, and also no root post for time to be counted from, so it starts from zero. Most computer operating systems use Unix, which was launched in 1971 with t.he epoch date of midnight on January 1, 1970 as 1. Therefore zero is one second behind that date: December 31, 1969. Also, very unfortunately, this also means nobody except you and anyone you reblog it to will see this explanation, as you cannot open the notes to see comments when there are no notes.

Tumblr is truly one of the webbed sites ever

ohmg

post's haunted.

OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “JIF.”

NOT GIF,

JIF.

And here is the link for the opposite.

WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS ADVICE IS

!!BEWARE OF SCAMMER ASKS IN YOUR INBOX INCLUDING THE FISHY PALESTINE ASKS!!

Ever since the #Free Palestine movement, unfortunately some really disgusting folks are using these times as a way to take advantage of people's kindness by pretending to be Palestinian victims and refugees.

If you've been getting these kind of asks in your inbox something along the lines of "Palestine" and a BIG tangent of their life but the blog looks fishy and the profile pic looks stolen? yeah that's too good to be true.

literally no actual person that genuinely needs help is going to directly ask a random person like you in your inbox, a real person that needs help makes a post in general with all of their donation links and never directly asks anyone.

Also majority of the time these scammers will steal real victim's pictures to make it look legit!!! Don't fall for it!!! Donate to actual places and real people!!! PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!

whats going on with miku

I hate... fanon archetypes. You know how people sand down their blorbos to fit into the same handful of incorrect quote templates and then they forget their actual canon personalities because they've gone too long without engaging with the source material? I hate it. I hate it. He would not fucking say that. The joke was slightly funny when it was on the office or whatever but we've all heard it over and over with different characters pasted into it how are you still laughing please let me out

The funny character has no other personality traits. Also he's incompetent now. The one who's kind of prickly is just weirdly mean OR sad and did nothing wrong, take your pick. Gotta have the Sunshine Boy. Woman 1 is yass slay badass. Woman 2 is the rest of the cast's Mother. If there's only one woman, she can be both. Do you want to kill yourself yet

I didn't say a fandom but you thought of one, didn't you? That's because they all do this. All of them. You search the main tags for the media of your choice and you will find them there. The same incorrect quotes you've been hearing for years. It's like a time loop. It's my own personal torment nexus

the crowdstrike catastrophe is getting resolved but the intel 13th and 14th gen CPU nightmare is just beginning. damn

basically: a significant number of the past few years of intel CPUs are almost guaranteed to die due to a manufacturing error. it is just a matter of time. and then they will break.

how many are affected, you might ask? intel says shut up. how can you tell if your CPU is going to die? go mind your own business. is there a recall? absolutely not. what can you do about it when your shit breaks? go fuck yourself is what

to find out what gen intel cpu you have (on windows, idk how to do this for mac or linux, i'm sorry) go to your start or search menu and type in device manager:

In device manager, look up processor:

Mine is a 12th gen, so I am safe from this bug.

Now, I haven't had a chance to watch the videos, so sorry if I am reiterating things here, but because some people learn better with text:

How to read intel CPU product labels for intel CORE processors (this is the most common intel cpu you are likely to find for home pc and laptop builds, their other cpu product lines are more for servers and ai and people who still use 32bit OSes, which are largely obsolete now):

the first letter number combo is always i and either no number, 3, 5, 7, or 9. The number refers to the amount of cores a cpu has. In general, more cores, faster cpu. (there are other things that affect cpu speed though, mostly clock speed. This is usually listed in ghz on the product page, but it's not relevant here to determine if you have one of the unlucky broken cpu models.)

In this example, I have an i7, which has more cores than an i5, but less than an i9.

The first 2 numbers after the i number is usually what generation you have. Sometimes, depending on how old your cpu is, it's only the first number. Mine is a 12, so I have a 12th generation cpu.

The numbers after that are the SKU numbers and largely are not important.

The letters determine if your cpu has onboard graphics or needs a discrete graphics card, and if it comes with a cooler/can be overclocked. (i personally do not recommend overclocking because a lot of software isn't really designed to support it and it can cause problems) If it has an F, it means you need a separate graphics card. If it has a K, it means you can overclock it, and also that it does not come with its own cooling.

Laptop cpus almost always will come with their own cooling because laptops get really hot and cooling in laptops is kind of abysmal to begin with.

If you have a LAPTOP, and your intel cpu is 13 or 14, you will have to replace the ENTIRE LAPTOP. start making backups of all your important information ASAP. Due to how laptops are constructed, you cannot replace a single part, you have to replace the whole machine. If you have a PREBUILT desktop, if you can figure out what motherboard you have, you may be able to buy a replacement cpu. If you build your own desktop, you are definitely able to replace your cpu.

A cpu is attached to your motherboard - if the cpu fries, it can also damage your motherboard as well, so if it's at all possible, and you're ended up with one of the broken cpus, I would look into replacing the motherboard as well. (Again, if you have a laptop, you need to replace everything. Sorry.)

there ARE a few laptops where you can replace the CPU, like framework, but for 99%, yeah. SOL. if you do not already know whether the CPU can be replaced on your laptop, it almost definitely can not be replaced.

back your stuff up!!

i will say, the worst thing that happened in fandom was when shipping just became “i ship this bc it’s gonna be real” and not just “i ship this bc i think it’s a fun dynamic to explore idc what the writers are doing that’s not my business”

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.

i will never not reblog this!

This ground is old…un burdened…sacred…

everyone who sees this must reblog

god left in 2012

I, of mostly sound body and spirit, request that if I’m ever to die, someone post a new work on my AO3 that says “sorry, she died, ongoing stories postponed forever” because don’t I want my fanfic buddies to think I ghosted them. Amen or whatever you say in a will.

This was written as a joke, but for those who don't know, this is an actual optional service that AO3 provides called Fannish Next of Kin.
