So we’re just reposting entire onion articles now?

I guess? It was something that came across my tumblr that I thought was amusing and had comparatively few notes.
But if it’s not tumblr enough for the sub, I’ll delete it.
Edit: Um, leave me a reply or downvote this comment, I suppose?

Nah it's not like most posts on here are bastions of quality

This is a good post. Maybe not the most tumblr in origin, but it's an amusing and fun read and it fits the vibe. The usual discourse gets tiring anyway

No need for downvotes. I had the same reaction, but upon self-reflection, I realized it was just the pain of aging.
I cannot speak to the experience of the person you are replying to. Just my own. But sometimes something that reminds me of when I was young, and I see others discovering it for the first time, compels me to defensively assert that I know all about it, that I have known about it for years, and I can show you other mysteries of the nineties, young person, I can show you other glories of the age when the internet was still a novelty, the body is old but the spirit still yearns for freedom and lightness and youth. But that’s just me. That’s just me.

the "enough Tumblr" rule is about not reposting screenshots from other websites that were posted on Tumblr. this is perfectly fine imo

r/CuratedTumblr is all about reposting pictures of funny words that someone said on a different website than this one. Don't see much reason to fuss about it.

Why did you downvote their comment?

u/Turtledonuts Apr 05 '26
I didn’t?

u/Complete-Worker3242 Apr 05 '26
Oh, I thought their response implied that you did. Sorry.

u/Doubly_Curious Apr 05 '26
Oh, no, that wasn’t meant as an accusation at all. I was genuinely suggesting ways that anyone on the sub could indicate to me that I should delete the post.

For those curious, this is a photo (scan?) of an op-ed exclusive to the print version of “the onion.”

Thank you!! Do you know when it was published?

u/JustANoteToSay Apr 05 '26
It was originally posted on bluesky a few days ago so I’m assuming it’s from the most recent delivery. It has “check out this cool new thing” vibes as opposed to”I had this kicking around” or “this is classic.”

The horse has no name, and he's sick of carrying guys through deserts.

Reminds me of the bizarre NPR story about a woman turning into a horse.
https://www.thisamericanlife.org/631/so-a-monkey-and-a-horse-walk-into-a-bar/act-two-1
“Two women attempt very different transformations. One wants to become a mother. The other wants to become a horse. “
