Also I have no idea why it veered into a discussion about a moth's DNA. That was unexpected, but very tumblrish.
Posts like that is why AI hallucinates. I bet it was trained on shit like that.
(grin) I am now picturing a totally stoned AI sat with a bong in its hand going "oh woooooooow man!! This is good shit!!"
Like this?
Why does this post not have any of the reblogger names? This must be incomprehensible to people who don't use tumblr.
I need to put this in my user name because every time I post something someone asks me.
This is how it appears on my dashboard. If you don't like it, take up with tumblr.
One of my online friends tracked it down, and simply said they're unsurprised that it was a teaboot post
That's weird.
Doesn't look like that on mine. I remember seeing something in the settings for showing blog icons so it might be that. Can't find it rn though
shrug It's always looked like that, and I haven't done anything to make it look like that (if that makes sense -- I didn't go in and tick a setting that was captioned "make it look as confusing as possible").
I just never bothered to investigate the settings, except for the one that makes it scroll forever and ever. That one I turned off because ARGH!!!!
Why did no one ask why a dad would be able to beg for respite because of his period?
Probably just a transman who hasn't fully transitioned and still has periods.
Yep, not worth commenting on. The only other question is whether they're just assigning gender roles to teaching kids skills but they obviously just want to talk about themselves with that bait so the best option is ignoring it.
There is/was a tumblr bot that would reply with a closest DNA/genome string and a picture iirc (my memory on this is really fuzzy)
Because I randomly had a conversation about this some weeks ago:
That account is not a bot.
It says in their profile they are not a bot, just neurodiverse.
They just ... eithery manually, or via use of an unoptimized regex code, or something, remove most characters other than ATCG from a post...
...and copy paste it into a nearly 20 year old freely available (but woefully underpowered and incomplete) API for genome matching.
Then they copy paste the output manually.
The account also posts non genome matching comments.
Its just a person with a unique hobby.
Unfortunately they are using such an old and underpowered API... and not even formatting their input into this API properly... that it is likely the equivalent of a random species output.
EDIT: Not calling you out personally, as you admit your memory is hazy, but 99% of the people that talk about this account seem to do the most tumblr thing possible:
Do absolutely 0 research or investigation, make up a bunch of personal headcannon (falsehoods, baseless speculation), and then run with it as fact.

That's just humans in general
Yeah, but it is especially common to, and very often very extreme, with Tumblr users.
Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
