In the time it takes you to read this sentence, over 19,000 new Tumblr blogs will have been created. There are literally hundreds of billions of posts on the site, and at least three of them aren’t about Tom Hiddleston.
It’s such an amazingly huge and dense place to navigate that it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer abundance of content that’s getting created by its user base every day. But inevitably, a select few bits float to the top and get shared far and wide, whether it’s because they’re funny or poignant or insightful or just plain weird.
Enjoy these 10 examples of times when the Humans of Tumblr just nailed it.
