Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

It is no longer preinstalled on windows
But there’s still a little stub of it left over, because when Micro$oft baked it into the OS, they baked it DEEP into the OS and now they can’t truly get rid of it.
True, but I always tell Internet Explorer that's a fucking no get the fuck out of my face
ahh yes, the hackable browser
I'll always remember this linkedin post by a Microsoft project manager. He was trying to give a motivational "we overcame all adversity" speech about his team, describing how they destroyed themselves for the project. His programmers actually got divorced trying to make deadlines. The product was Internet Explorer, a browser that could be replaced with a download page for any other browser.
IE (now Edge and OneDrive) needs to learn how to take "no" for an answer and stop forcing its way into my life.
