The infamous tumblr crash of December 12, 2012, is the day when tumblr was down for hours with no warning. Lots of "MY FEELS" and "ALKAFELFJAFJEWLAKJKA" resulted from this. People believe this is really the end of the world, because it happened on a triple date. Some also think that it was also another social experiment conducted by Cole Sprouse.
Sometime in the near future:

-Hey Liz, what are you doing?
-Nothing. I think there might be another tumblr crash of 12/12/12 going on. What will I do with my life? MY FEELS.

Intentionally meant to sound innocent when in reality the user is deliberately viewing pornogrpahic content or pages that are NSFW.

an article, essay, editorial, etc. remembered years after you saw it on your tumblr dashboard. These stories, often highlighting a cultural or societal issue, must be taken with a grain of salt due to their questionable validity, accuracy, and truthfulness.
In the 1980s, a Japanese girl was kidnapped, tortured, and raped by four of her schoolmates. After a few weeks, the girl died from her injuries, and the boys weren't charged with any crimes. This is a tumblr story because the details highlight sexism and rape culture, but whether or not the story is true is unclear.

A scientific term. Tumblr's Law states that when a Tumblr user directly mentions or implies that a joke is funny, the joke is no longer funny. This can be commonly done through saying that a meme is hilarious, but can also be completed through such an action as laughing.

When a Tumblr User (commonly self-identified by a person with an active Tumblr account) laughs at something that could be considered humorous, every living being within a 5 mile radius instantly stops feeling joy for a short time. After this event, the joke is no longer funny, and it can no longer be referenced.

The only potential Tumblr Users then have for humor is in creating jokes, but hopefully it is not attempted on Tumblr.
(doge meme)
Tumblr User: this is so funny I have been laughing for 30 minutes and crying and shitting my pants.
Intelligent person: You just enabled Tumblr's Law on Doge, wtf??

Back in the day before pornographic content was banned from tumblr there was the greatest porn of all time. Anyone who‘s gen z, kinky and has parental issues was most likely raised by it. The content on tumblr majorly differed from other platforms as it offered a lot more for the bdsm community. The comfort that one can get from a bdsm relationship lured in tons of teens. Besides that the platform was full of posts supporting anorexia and self harm which it why even though it may have seemed comforting it most likely damaged you.
In conclusion: If you got on the tumblr trend in the early 2010s you‘re most likely bisexual, kinky and depressed now. Now you either have no sex drive at all or you‘re an addict. Chances are high you follow Dannypahntom.exe, Birlap_ or Brandonthelover on TikTok. Oh and you most likely have horrible body dysmorphia because of the unrealistic beauty standards on there. And you didn’t peak in highschool. (i dont make the rules) You probably prefer wattpad, fake scenarios, Twitter and Hentaihaven over pornhub and you still use pinterest or even tumblr to search up shit that includes “aesthetic”.
bonus points if you write in all lowercase, own stuffed animals or a maid costume and use <3; :); :D
if this sounds like your s/o please learn about non-sexual domination/submission and get a mirror in front of your bed - thanks in advance
example 1:

person 1: “everything on the hub makes me cringe for some reason, i spend ages scrolling to find something good”
person 2: “i miss the old tumblr, never failed to satisfy me”
example 2:
person 1: “do you remember og tumblr?”
person 2: “isn’t that where anorexic girls used to post pics in shorts with depressing quotes?”
person 1: “so what you’re saying is; you’re a vanilla?”
