 Fix the blatant homophobia for LGBT+ terms for videos that are completely blank
 and private. This is 100% on you and only you.

 How am I supposed to appeal the fact that you auto flag LGBT+ terms and then
 throttle the views? it shouldn't happen in the first place.

retweet these. don’t let them shut you up. fight. bring this to the attention of everyone. 
REMINDER THAT MORE AND MORE LGBT+ TERMS ARE BEING ADDED TO THE AUTO FLAG LIST EVERY DAY! WHEN A VIDEO IS FLAGGED IT LOSES MONEY, BUT IT IS ALSO THEN THROTTLED FOR VIEWS SO PEOPLE DON’T SEE IT.
YOUTUBE IS LITERALLY ERASING GAY CONTENT.

If a video cannot meet the 1,000 views per week threshold required for manual review, then you have no chance of overturning YouTube’s autoflag system. 
YouTube telling creators to “please appeal if you think we got it wrong” does NOTHING to help smaller creators and older content that get less than 1,000 views a week.

Thanks @staff  @support for doing such a great job eliminating the inappropriate content on this site!!!
Really it is /something/ that since the “‘ban”’ I’ve seen /more/ porn bots and have had /more/ of my work reblogged with porn links then ever before

@staff : How many pornbots could there possibly be?
every user on tumblr:

I get followed by like 5 times as many per day than before.

@staff @support just in the past week, I’ve blocked at least 12 porn bots, one of which reblogged one of my most popular posts and replaced the content with a porn link. Prior to this “adult content ban”, I would block about 12 bots in a month. This ban has been counterproductive. Whatever it is you think you did to help this website did not work, so you might as well allow nipples 🤷‍♀️


I created two of my most popular posts at the end of last year. Going through my notes to block every pornbot that reblogs and replaces them with a link is a new hobby of mine. 


I love how fully uncensored tits (which shouldn’t be censored but tumblr things so) can be an icon but mine has to be censored, even though it was always sfw and I’m not even able to change it.

    Ass, Children, and Girls: tenaflyviper
 Tumblr has always been one of the most
 poorly-run sites I've ever seen. It has been the
 laughingstock of the internet for YEARS be-
 cause of this. @staff, I'm gonna lay this down
 right now: In making this latest decision, you
 have not made the site any safer, especially
 when a lot of the "harm to minors" around
 here comes from users' piss-poor treatment
 of each other that you've always turned a
 blind eye to. You have not made it more
 appealing to investors, especially because
 you'll be forcing content creators out in
 droves, thus leaving behind pretty much only
 the previously-mentioned piss-poor behavior.
 Do you honestly believe focusing on tags is
 going to work? And what do you propose to
 do when people simply stop using tags, or
 come up with alternative ones? Focusing
 on links? We've been sending links to each
 other's inboxes right under your noses
 for years-we just replace a few dots with
 commas, and your system misses it. If WE
 can get around it, I'm pretty sure bots can be
 programmed to do the same. Nixxing links
 to third-party sites? Well, you've just screwed
 over a lot of people looking for support on
 Patreon or trying to start fundraisers for
 their injured pets.
 You were asked to do two things that many
 sites haven't had much issue taking care of:
 Getting rid of spam bots, and keeping the
 site reasonably clear of illegal content. Your
 staff is so collossally inept that every attempt
 you've ever made to rectify these issues has
 caused loss of site function, and massive
 backlash from the user base. Only now that
 it's affecting your wallets do you attempt to
 do anything about it, and the thing you've
 chosen to do is essentially lose the majority
 of your users by coming up with half-ass
 "solutions" that actually do more harm
 to those users than the legitimate criminals
 you're trying to eradicate
 If what you really want is a site for children
 and teens without any adult content,
 then MAKE ONE (not that it'd really solve
 anything, since the most prolific producers
 of drawn and written porn are teenage girls,
 and nothing would stop users there from
 continuing to be abusive as hell towards each
 other). The users on this site are literally 85%
 adults that came here under the impression
 that they wouldn't be heavily censored or
 limited as they are on other social media
 outlets, and could create a visual and written
 expression of themselves, and their interests
 Congratulations on removing the only draw

 Tumblr has always been one of the most
 poorly-run sites I've ever seen. It has been the
 laughingstock of the internet for YEARS be-
 cause of this. @staff, I'm gonna lay this down
 right now: In making this latest decision, you
 have not made the site any safer, especially
 when a lot of the "harm to minors" around
 here comes from users' piss-poor treatment
 of each other that you've always turned a
 blind eye to. You have not made it more
 appealing to investors, especially because
 you'll be forcing content creators out in
 droves, thus leaving behind pretty much only
 the previously-mentioned piss-poor behavior.
 Do you honestly believe focusing on tags is
 going to work? And what do you propose to
 do when people simply stop using tags, or
 come up with alternative ones? Focusing
 on links? We've been sending links to each
 other's inboxes right under your noses
 for years-we just replace a few dots with
 commas, and your system misses it. If WE
 can get around it, I'm pretty sure bots can be
 programmed to do the same. Nixxing links
 to third-party sites? Well, you've just screwed
 over a lot of people looking for support on
 Patreon or trying to start fundraisers for
 their injured pets.
 You were asked to do two things that many
 sites haven't had much issue taking care of:
 Getting rid of spam bots, and keeping the
 site reasonably clear of illegal content. Your
 staff is so collossally inept that every attempt
 you've ever made to rectify these issues has
 caused loss of site function, and massive
 backlash from the user base. Only now that
 it's affecting your wallets do you attempt to
 do anything about it, and the thing you've
 chosen to do is essentially lose the majority
 of your users by coming up with half-ass
 "solutions" that actually do more harm
 to those users than the legitimate criminals
 you're trying to eradicate
 If what you really want is a site for children
 and teens without any adult content,
 then MAKE ONE (not that it'd really solve
 anything, since the most prolific producers
 of drawn and written porn are teenage girls,
 and nothing would stop users there from
 continuing to be abusive as hell towards each
 other). The users on this site are literally 85%
 adults that came here under the impression
 that they wouldn't be heavily censored or
 limited as they are on other social media
 outlets, and could create a visual and written
 expression of themselves, and their interests
 Congratulations on removing the only draw
 this site ever had

10 tricks you didn’t know you could do with your food.
By Blossom

The internet went from showing food recipe videos to alchemy in less than a decade. There’s going to be a quick video on how to make the philosopher’s stone from tomato sauce next week. 


I WANNA DRINK THE TRANSPARENT SODA


leave milk out unrefrigerated in your house for 2 days

Some days ago, my sibling sent me this video out of the desperate hope I could provide the catharsis of seeing it torn to pieces. It has now been coming on 72 hours, and only now have I recovered enough to be able to do much of anything but scream, “WHAT?!” and “NO!” at the screen.
We had a long discussion about what in the twelve hells this video even is. A surreal, dadaist parody so obscure that our brains aren’t operating on enough levels to comprehend it? The Instagram lifehack equivalent of those terrifying procedurally-generated animated Youtube videos that farm ad revenue by playing millions of times to babies whose parents left the iPad on autoplay? A coded message designed to activate the combat programming of brainwashed cyborg sleeper agents? A post that slipped through a wormhole from an alternate dimension where the laws of reality are different? An emanation of a vast and alien chaos god?
I cannot bring myself to confront the claims in this video in the order they are put forth without losing my will to live after the first one, so I will start with the least crazy and work my way up.
Bananas to ripen things: More or less true. You’ll sometimes see advice to cooks to store underripe fruit in a paper bag with one piece of overripe (but not rotten) fruit to ripen it more quickly.Misrepresentations: It will probably take longer than overnight to ripen something as green as some of those tomatoes, and it doesn’t have to be a banana.
Coca-cola and milk: The coke is more acidic than the
 milk and curdles it, resulting in solid globs of milk protein which 
settle out. The brown dye in the coke sticks to the milk protein globs, 
leaving the excess liquid more or less clear.Misrepresentations: The video has been enormously sped up, which the editing does not make clear; the reaction takes hours.
Ketchup to clean metal: To my mild surprise, this is actually a thing (though you could just make a paste out of salt, flour, and vinegar and scrub with that and not get ketchup stains on everything)…Misrepresentations: …for cleaning copper and bronze. Which the jug shown in the video is not. The acid in the ketchup might take some of the tarnish off, say, aluminum, but at that point you might as well just use vinegar.
Sparkling water omelet: Omelet souffles are a thing.Misrepresentations: You… literally do not need the sparkling water… you can just beat the eggs until they’re fluffy…


“Warm water clears wax from fruits!”: This is a mysterious and arcane procedure called “washing.”Misrepresentations: I don’t know what the hell they even did to the video on this sequence but as a person who has washed many apples in warm water, it does not look like that and the thin layer of edible wax applied to make them look good in the grocery store does not come off that easily.
Sprite to clean earrings: Again, this will take tarnish off some metals just due to the acid, but…Misrepresentations: DO YOU WANT GROSS STICKY EARRINGS AND EAR INFECTIONS? JUST USE VINEGAR WATER. Also, “dirt” is not a kind of molecule. (Incidentally, if the earrings are silver, there is a vastly better method that actually reverses the tarnish instead of removing it.)
Insta-freeze bottle: This is a real thing…Misrepresentation: …which absolutely will not happen if you follow their instructions, because a) they neglect to mention an important caveat (the water needs to be purified/distilled) and b) 5 minutes is not long enough for a water bottle to supercool. If you google any of the myriad videos and articles of people doing this trick, you’ll see numbers like “3 hours in the freezer” or “40 minutes in a salted ice bath.”
There is video of the trick working. Either that footage was taken from someone else, or they knew how to do it, did it, and then deliberately lied about the time for no apparent reason.
Putting a broken plate in milk for two days magically fixes it: To my immense surprise, they didn’t make this one up; the idea is that the milk protein casein can form into a plastic at high temperatures and bind to the ceramic. Googling it turned up some hobbyist potters commenting that they’d used it to salvage things that had cracked slightly in the kiln.Misrepresentations: Once again, they’ve misrepresented the method: everything I saw talking about how to do it said to boil the milk and then soak for an hour, not leave it out for two days like an offering to the pixies. And most of what I saw reported about it also said it only really works on hairline cracks, not full breaks, and doesn’t hold up long-term because the real structural damage isn’t repaired. And may leave a faint and persistent odor of boiled milk.
Just use superglue.
“Reveal the genetic memory of the honeycomb”:
This is the kind of gibberish predicated on so many nonsensical assumptions that unpacking it would be more trouble than it’s worth. Plus, well, I can barely see anything with the low video quality, but what I can see of the vague blur doesn’t look much like a honeycomb in the first place. Suffice to say:
“Honey looks like a honeycomb” isn’t even in the ballpark of what’s generally meant by “genetic memory,”
what’s generally meant by “genetic memory” is also complete hooey, and
fluid dynamics is weird and swirling a thick, viscous, water-soluble liquid with a layer of water on top is going to do weird things.
But at least that I could potentially attribute to ignorance rather than deliberate intent to deceive, unlike…
Hot coals and peanut butter
This is the reason it’s taken me this long to post this. Every time I think about it my soul starts to leave my body. It’s such a mind-boggling level of bullshit that every time I’ve tried to put words around an explanation I’m quickly reduced to staring at the screen and mouthing “No” to myself in a voice of quiet despair, because I can’t even figure out where to start.
Well, okay, I guess I might as well start by saying I think their… let’s say inspiration on this was articles about scientists who made diamonds out of peanut butter and carbon dioxide. …With a press that’s designed to recreate the conditions of the earth’s mantle, and which is prone to exploding. So, you know, not something you can do in your kitchen. Unless you have one hell of a kitchen.
You can see the direct links to this in the nonsensical claim that this “works” because peanut butter contains carbon dioxide. (It doesn’t, particularly. It’s crushed peanuts mixed with oil. You know what would have a lot of carbon dioxide? The fire you pulled that glowing lump of charcoal out of.) It also mentions “pressure” when no particular pressure is involved, presumably because we’ve all heard about turning coal into diamond under heat and pressure.
Chemically speaking, there’s very little to make that crystal out of except carbon, unless you want to posit a mass migration of all the sugar molecules in the peanut butter to the center of the coal. And “carbon crystal” = “diamond,” and do you think if it was that easy to make diamonds they’d be that expensive?
I will guarantee you that crystal is a lump of quartz they covered in black crud and then peanut butter to pretend it was the charcoal.
But, of course, all of that is irrelevant, because by reblogging this at all, even to performatively despair that the internet does not seem to have come all that far since the days of Infinite Chocolate, I’m playing into their hands. Lifehack clickbait has done this forever- they deliberately seed in wrong or awful advice because people will share that to say how stupid/wrong it is. They led with complete insanity to get attention, and I gave them eyeballs on the video watching this, and I’ll be giving them more from writing this.
Maybe I’ll stick to the chaos god theory. It’s less depressing.

Cats who can’t figure out walls [x]

PLEASE TAKE YOUR CAT TO THE VET IF YOU SEE THEM DOING THIS BEHAVIOR OVER TIME.
It’s called “head pressing” and it occurs in dogs and cats. 

Head pressing is characterized by the compulsive act of pressing the head against a wall or other object for no apparent reason. This generally indicates damage to the nervous system, which may result from a number of varying causes, including prosencephalon disease (in which the forebrain and thalamusparts of the brain are damaged), or toxic poisoning.

IMPORTANT!!
My elder cat had head pressing as one of her symptoms when she had toxoplasmosis. Many people, dogs and cats have this, and the vast majority never get sick, but when it arises as clinical disease, it usually presents as neurological problems and brain damage.
HEAD PRESSING IS A SERIOUS SYMPTOM OF BRAIN ISSUES, DON’T IGNORE IT!

    Be Like, Club, and Confidence: Body Language Cheat Sheet for Writers
 All body language must be considered in context, but if you've set your scene and established your
 characters, a little body language can help!
 Anger
 Distress
 Anger is one expression of fight-or-flight mode
 an automatic, instinctive reaction to a threat. In
 many cases, there is an underlying fear of being
 harmed. Thanks to autonomic nervous system
 arousal, the heart rate increases, pupils dilate
 and the face may flush. Other signs of anger:
 Men in particular have a tendency to
 stroke or rub the nape of the neck when
 they're upset. It acts as a self-soothing
 gesture to deal with a "pain in the neck.
 Crossed arms arms act like a
 protective barrier
 Self-hugging- arms are crossed, hands
 gripping upper arms
 One-arm cross one arm crosses the
 body to hold or touch the other arm
 women keep a hand on a purse or bag
 strap to make this look more natural
 Clutching a purse, briefcase, or bag with
 both arms

Body Language Cheat Sheet for Writers
As described by Selnick’s article:

Author and doctor of clinical psychology Carolyn Kaufman has released a one-page body language cheat sheet of psychological “tells” (PDF link) fiction writers can use to dress their characters.


Because I realize all my characters do is look at each other and have their eyebrows shoot up. Sometimes they even lower their eyebrows too!
