Did y'all know that Elon Musk's Twitter recently added LGBTQ terms (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Transgender, Queer) to it's "offensive words" list - meaning that links to tweets with words containing them aren't previewed in twitter DMs and are generally de-boosted (shown to less people) by the website?

Did you also know there exists a character called the
zero-width non joiner that you can copy and paste in-between letters of any keyword so that the keyword visually looks the same but isn't automatically seen by the algorithm as containing a keyword?

Did you also know that having to have a zero-width non joiner to post about being gay is terrifyingly dystopian

Fascinating results *places a banana in the same spot*

Real scientists would keep putting an orange in the same spot to make sure the results are consistent before moving on to other fruits or different spots.

The only valid response to this post.

We’re working up the complexity levels of fruit until we feel there is enough evidence to support the judicious placement of a volunteer twink

You sit down, we haven’t seen what’s happened to the pineapple

This is Tumblr; we’ve ALL seen what happened to the pineapple. O_O

Parents love to act like any trip to a slightly more populated area is the same as entering an active war zone.

"Why would you go to Minneapolis alone, it's so dangerous there!"

Mother I am not going to sit here and tremble like a hypoglycemic chihuahua in fear of Minneapolis of all things. I've had bowel movements that scared me more than Minneapolis.
