wow players having to stand in lines for a quest because a relevant npc can only talk to one player at a time. is the funniest image on the planet

i need to correct this: wow classic doesn’t have any npcs that can only talk to one player at a time. these lines actually formed for a quest npc that players had to kill to complete the objective. knowing that i think this image is even funnier.

My favourite is the guy saying, “This is like being at the dmv”

Do You Love the Color of the Sun?

The color order of the Sun: At the top of the image and going all the way down, we see the colors, yellow gold, rustic gold, orange, a fiery red orange, magenta, purple, dark blue, light blue, green, yellow, and gray. There are coronal loops, sunspots, and solar flares depicted on the surface of the Sun. Credit: NASAALT

Get dazzled by the true spectrum of solar beauty. From fiery reds to cool blues, explore the vibrant hues of the Sun in a mesmerizing color order. The images used to make this gradient come from our Solar Dynamics Observatory. Taken in a variety of wavelengths, they give scientists a wealth of data about the Sun.

Don't miss the total solar eclipse crossing North America on April 8, 2024. (It's the last one for 20 years!) Set a reminder to watch with us.

Which path should he choose?

image

The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?

moonimbued

he should wander away and have a picnic while he thinks about what path to choose

charlesoberonn

Great idea! But where should he have the picnic?

image

Under the tree, or under the old fort?

acatdisguisedasahuman

By the sea, so he can enjoy the sound of the waves

charlesoberonn

A lovely choice!

image

Should he build a sandcastle to pass the time? Or perhaps go fishing?

cynicallyaestetic

Perhaps he could collect shells he finds interesting

charlesoberonn

Sounds fun!

image

Which shell should he pick up?

sourjen

image

This one

charlesoberonn

That's not a shell, it's a tiny earpiece.

image

Should he listen to music? Or to the mysterious pre-recorded message?

sar-kalu

He should give it back to the crab in the largest shell, they thought they had lost their wave-pod and are grateful he found it!

charlesoberonn

The crab wants to give a gift in return.

image

Should he accept the gift of power, or the gift of knowledge?

sunw00d

the gift of friendship :)

charlesoberonn

Friendship acquired!

image

Should they celebrate with pizza or ice cream?

valentineish

The crab friend cannot eat either of those! Let's split a nice seaweed salad instead. :)

charlesoberonn

So many options!

image

Should they get tossed salad, wiggly salad, or spiky salad?

frescopino

Seasar salad

charlesoberonn

Nothing beats getting it straight from the source

image

Should they use scissors or claws to cut the seaweed?

somethingmissingthiswaycomes

What about that sword in the first panel?

charlesoberonn

The circle is complete.

image

Through choices, friendship, and salad, he found his way to the path of the warrior. But he won't walk it alone.

Their path is just beginning, but this story is over.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Another idea: Communities on Tumblr

For a while now folks have asked us for better ways to connect with other people who share similar interests. We’re listening, and at Labs we’ve been looking into fulfilling that need, Tumblr style.

Introducing Communities, a new place to connect with others on Tumblr:

image

Here in Labs, we’re working on big ideas that could transform how Tumblr is used, while keeping that Tumblr vibe alive. You can see one of those ideas above. We’re calling it “Communities”, a new dedicated space on Tumblr for people to share and discuss all the content they love. Communities can cover topics like your favorite show, artist, movie, video game, your school, your board game group, friend group, big or small, whatever you want.

Each Community has their own semi-private safer space away from the regular dashboard where you can interact with other Tumblr users who share the same interests and passions as you. There are moderators and members (you!), rules, and privacy settings. Each community has its own feed of posts from members, separate from your Following and For You feeds. Interactions within community spaces stay there and replies will work more like a traditional comment section. Folks will be able to reblog posts into a community, but not out — at least not yet.

We’re very excited for you to try it, and help define the best path forward. What we have is a prototype to help us validate the idea, but there’s still plenty of questions that need answering. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be reaching out to people across Tumblr, and the internet at large, to try our prototype. Based on the feedback we get, we’ll iterate on the idea to see what resonates best with all of you on Tumblr.

If this sounds interesting, please like, reblog, or reply to this post, and we’ll invite you to beta test this feature when we roll it out to a wider Tumblr audience, as a little perk for following the Labs blog.

Stay tuned for more!
