Earth, Jupiter and Venus from the skyline of Mars!

These kinds of pictures always blow me away.

Like, wow, everyone on Earth is in this picture, and we’re all so tiny that you can barely even see the planet.

Oh look, I’m in the picture :D

asgdhjs;agsdhj I wasn’t ready when they took it! :(

My husband everybody. <3

Best commentary on this photo ever okay. :(

Wow, this has got a lot of notes. Shame about the whole computer-generated thing.

This came into work today. I shortlisted it and displayed it on my cafe counter.

The back said something like “He is into BDSM. (Batman, Dragons, Star Wars, and Magic the Gathering).”

The first paragraph starts like this:

“I growl with frustration at my reflection in the mirror. My hair is fifty shades of messed up. Why is it so kinky and out of control? I need to stop sleeping with it wet. As I brush my long brown hair, the girl in the mirror brown eyes too big for her, stares back at me. Wait… my eyes are blue! It dawns on me that I haven’t been looking in the mirror—I’ve been staring at a poster of Kirsten Stewart for the past five minutes. My own hair is fine.”

Tumblr 101: How Tags work!

  • Only the first 5 tags count.
  • Start with the important tags (ex. show name, actor name, artist name).
  • If you’re the kind of person who fangirl like there’s no tomorrow like me in their tags, save that until the end.
  • Don’t tag your hate, that’s rude, childish and immature.

the first five tags of new (i.e. not reblogged) posts will only show up in tracked tags. however, you can have up to 24 tags (? i think that’s the right number. please correct me if i’m wrong) of up to 140 characters each (after that tumblr will automatically cut off the tag with an ellipses), and those will still show up on your blog (and on your dashboard) for personal organization (or commentary) purposes.

Actually only the first TWENTY (20) tags will work for organizational purposes, but the total number of tags that will actually publish is THIRTY (30).

So for example, I just made a post and put forty tags on it. Here’s what will happen:

  • Only the first five (5) will show up in tracked tags
  • Only the first twenty (20) will cause the post to show up in the tag on my blog (i.e. surrexi.com/tagged/tag)
  • Only the first thirty (30) will actually publish; the rest will disappear into the ether

THIS MEANS THAT:

  • You have to prioritise things you want to show up in tracked tags first, and you only get FIVE TAGS, so you have to choose carefully.
  • You have a further fifteen tags that will count when you/your visitors browse the tags on your blog (so if you have a “mine” tag or a “resources” tag or a variation thereof, it’s best to put that in right after the tracked tags).
  • To know how many tags you have to use for FEELS etc, subtract the number of tags you’ve already made from 30. (So, for example, if I make a post with five “tracked” tags, a “stuff i made” tag, and four organizational tags, I have 20 tags left for my feelings, ten of which will be purely for decoration.)
  • And of course, all of your tags must be under 140 characters.

Thank you so much for doing all that research! I mean it, seriously. This is useful to the max.

This is confusing but useful! Thank you, OP!

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.

peanut butter motherfucking YES

More people pronounce .gif with a hard G sound?  That just seems odd to me but I suppose different thought processes are different /tautology/

The official answer is “JIF”. Sorry giffers.

No. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Why am I reblogging this when I totally pronounce it gif, not jif.

– Leon

I agree with the OP. (And can’t believe the opposing post has over four times the notes. Really?)

PS, after reading the link: if they wanted PNG to have an unambiguous pronunciation, they should a: have found an excuse to put an “i” in there, and b: not made it reminiscent of “OMG”. Because according to my brain, the obvious pronunciation is “poh-nye-gahd”.
