I dated a girl who would always bring a bar of soap with her when she slept over. She’d bury it in the sheets at the end of my bed. Said it prevented restless legs.
Because people see the picture and think "What in the world why does that soap have a bit out o fit" and then go ahead and click the link. And after doing various "experiments" over the years, advertisers have found that these sort of practices substantially improve engagement/click-through metrics and ultimately result in higher traffic / sales / ad revenue / etc.
I think Tumblr is still fun! It's not as lively anymore and the staff suck, but no algorithm means you really only see stuff you choose to see and the tag blocking makes it so easy to curate your experience.
And I'll take weird unhinged ads over TikTok shop or whatever happens on Twitter any day lol
Apparently, a bar of soap releases the mineral magnesium while you sleep, which believers say will relieve nocturnal leg cramping. And for those who suffer from RLS, Dr. Mehmet Oz of The Dr. Oz Show recommends leaving a bar of lavender soap under the sheets overnight. The relaxing scent of lavender can ease your symptoms, he claims
Any time I see Dr. Oz, I immediately disregard anything as snake oil. The man is a terrible human being...preying on the desperate so he can line his pockets with more cash. He was already a very successful surgeon making boatloads of money. How much of a greedy asshole can you be to then start lying to people to get more when you're already rich?
It hasn't been a porn site in checks notes7 years.
They did lift the full nudity ban, but they still ban you arbitrarily for a nip slip, or being trans and targeted by TERFs, insulting the WordPress guy, etc.
I tried Tumblr out briefly not long ago, finally. And I guess I've missed the good days? The place feels a little too much like a shopping mall as opposed to what I was expecting. These tumblr memes always gave me 'old internet' vibes but what I saw was a lot closer to modern Facebook style.
It's still a social media site. What you get out of it is very dependent on tags and people followed to my understanding. Not so different from reddit and lemmy experience being dependent on the communities and active posters/commenters.

…why does that soap have a bite out of it?
Legs take a bite and get satiated and rest

wait. the fgsfds guy. he looks like sam reich in a disguise
Sam rips off the disguise
I've been here the whole time
Jesus Christ he's been here the whole time
Lol I've never encountered this meme before, even though I was very much online in that period. I'm part of todays lucky 10000!

Valid point
Reminds me of this gem: "Download now"
Download what?
It could be anything, even a car!
I really hope it's a new bicycle.
I wouldn't do that
It could be more RAM.
It's a surprise, you need to download, install and give it all the admin rights on your computer to get your very own surprise

No way! I need to know this soap hack NOW

Yeah that’s why I copied the whole text. I was like ok why not then entered the wizard of BS
Being a surgeon is hard work. Grifting is a lot easier and cushier.
ah the universal symbol for "don't do this"
i've replaced my mattress with a solid block of magnesium. It's cool in the summer.
Just... Wear a diaper...
and don't sweat.
Your bed change to a beach cos you’re so relax 😎
Travel agencies hate this one trick
Better spray some water on your bed after the magnesium, you know to help it soak in.
It can even undo all the damage from smoking. So go ahead and do both at the same time
And if you huff a fat line of the mag, it'll reverse any drug damage to your body!
It would probably make you a lot less itchy than a bar of soap, too.
Or drinking it.
How does the soap knows that I'm sleep?
It knows when you've been bad or good, so be good, for goodness sakes!
I've used DSGE, it's highly effective at JTXNE.
Wdym? Tumblr is just a porn site, no idea why people use it for blogs.
Gridr, Tinder, Tumblr, it fits right in
It hasn't been a porn site in checks notes 7 years.

Kinda still there, tho.
...wanna see?
I can use lemmy for porn too, so I should call it a porn site...
The internet is for porn
Karma is a form of masturbation.
Ok? Lemmy doesn't have Karma so not sure how that's relevant.
upvoted
oooh! go on...

I want to learn less

The ads are so bad i don't know if this is satire or not
Looks like Taboola ads. Jesus fucking Christ I hate them, but they’re nearly single-handedly keeping local news stations afloat at this point.
That brought back flashbacks
I'm pretty sure the guy from the shitty sonic movies isn't dead too.
Is that shemar moore? If he is, he also was in criminal minds and at least i havent seen anything about him being dead.
Yeah he’s not dead.
He has his own show SWAT now. Definitely not dead
I'm not fucking watching a show about the SA.
*pic not related.
It's a good shit, granted
I don't know why, but "well, he died" sent me for some reason. I may be tired.
What happens to the vinegar-soaked bread? I'm guessing mold will have a hard time growing on it because of the acidity.
It belongs in the trash, you're welcome
It tastes awful, you're welcome.
Everybody to the limit Everybody to the limit Everybody, come on, fhqwhgads!
Tumblr combines the worst of both worlds - corporate censorship and obnoxiously performative leftism. Just go to Neocities, folks.
Do Neocons live in Neocities?
