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.

Interesting that we have tantalize and tantalizing, but we're stuck with "Sisyphean". I vote we add sisyphize and sisyphizing.
"I find this job sisyphizing."
Does your job make you wear programmer socks and force feed you estrogen?
Tantalus = You get your package in the mail, but when you open it you find your item broken.
Sisyphus = You work for the postal service.
Dude if I could I would enjoy that job. You get to take people their packages. That's happiness you're delivering.
One must imagine HeyThisIsntTheYMCA happy
Noooooo not happiness you take that back
Should've said Tantalus in the reply, since that is an actual sisyphean task.
Ah but that's why they said "Syphilis"
...Who told you I can't read?
Yeah it really makes you feel like Cassandra
