I'm guilty of using the little TM symbol way more than necessary

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-
/c/Memes@lemmy.world - General memes

MODERATORS
There's no mechanical/grammar reason but the first one is used sarcastically. When someone thinks something is a big deal/great/awesome and you say back "well that's certainly a thing" it's implying that the only thing you agree on is that that thing exists, not that it's great.
The other two are nonsense and some people just find that funny.
Thank you for the explanation!
