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.

You wouldn't be able to hear anything as they crawl all over your face.

Do you think when the birds wake you up at 5am they'd be saying their full names, like "Red Breasted Chickadoodle", or would they just be screaming: "BIRD BIRD BIRD CROOOOWWW CROWWW BIRD BIRD" ?

Well the pokemon are named after the sounds they make, not the other way round, so a red breasted chickadoodle would instead be named after whatever sound it makes.

There is also some historic precedent for humans naming animals after the sounds they make, one being cats being called 'miu'.

Cows should be named Moos. But, what about the actual moose?

If the voices in your head are brain parasites, is that better or worse?
