Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

You'd think that productivity would explode, but the productivity paradox says that it really has stalled out. It stalled in the 70s to the 80s, and then stalled again around 2000 and hasn't really grown since.
Wealth has continued to grow unchecked, but for some reason even though computers are getting more and more powerful, workers aren't getting more done. AI is only making this worse.
No paradox. The wealthy didn't want plenty; they wanted control.
