Tumblr was founded by a high school drop out by the name of David Karp when he was just 17 years old. 6 years later he sold the platform to Yahoo for a little over a billion dollars. That’s an awful lot of money for a site dedicated mostly to Harry Potter memes, but I guess it’s no surprise when you really think about it. Tumblr is a huge, welcoming place where creativity and individual output is emphasized. The result is some really incredible and poignant stuff, as well as a true treasure trove of absolute lunacy and silliness that just keeps me clicking through for more.
Here are 13 random posts that prove Tumblr is worth every penny of a billion bucks.
13. Bombshell burial
Hey, UK, everything alright over there?
12. Wake up, moon sheeple
I definitely have a firm grasp on correlation vs. causation.

If those 13 posts alone aren’t worth the GDP of Grenada then I simply don’t know what is. Thank you Tumblr for your great service to mankind!
