Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
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.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

My dad basically gave me this scenario once.
Dad: My phone's been kind of puffy recently, the back's all blown out. Probably all the coolant at work corroding it. Still works alright though.
Me: Dad, that means the battery is super volatile and it could explode into flames at any moment. Get rid of it immediately.
Dad, rolling eyes: Well aren't you just a little ray of sunshine?
I got him to replace the phone.
Just send him a video of someone poking a cell phone battery with a knife so he can see what he avoided having happen to his leg.
