Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

When I was a kid, I had a relative with a big booth at the NY State Fair, so we hung out at the fair a lot, and explored every inch of it.

One of the most fascinating things for me was the State Troopers' display of drugs. They were all lined up on a board, behind glass, labeled so I could identify them accurately. There was even a joint, and I wondered if it was real. I would check it out often, and every year I'd come back to examine it.

As an adult, I realized that it had the exact opposite effect it was supposed to have. It only made the drugs look more enticing.
