r/Tumblr - Subliminal Gay 

Fun animal fact: A single strand of spider silk is thinner than a human hair, but five times stronger than a same-size strand of steel.

As a cape owner, the answer for why capes went out of fashion is almost certainly cars and bikes. As Edna Mode can attest, the modern world isn't particularly cape friendly.

I do think "it doesn't smell like anything in here" is a very valid statement. As an autistic person almost constantly overwhelmed by smells and other sensory input, it's a pleasure to go into a room where no smell is annoying. I once cheered when I disinfected my hands with something that had no smell at all.

I honestly thought the post about “furry friends getting scared in thunderstorms” was about furries as well, and I didn’t question it. I was just “Ah yes, sounds about right.” 😭

The fact Pikachu killing Winnie The Pooh was such a dramatic and amazing story is so funny yet strange at the same time

My fireman dad if I said something was 'lit' would just say to me "I taught you how to put it out, It's fine." This is also the same man that apparently when he was in high school set his science classroom on fire. The dad lore is real.

The "show your work" parts of math tests gave me massive anxiety and I genuinely recall multiple occasions when I broke into tears trying to do them.

They didn’t just eat mummies, they grounded them up into paint. Had “unwrapping” parties and gave out artifacts and mummy pieces. Which is why Tut’s tomb was so important because it was the very few tombs in Egypt (country not the territories they held) that wasn’t robbed.

As a medical student I can confirm that laugh bone and giggly bone are indeed there and this video may indeed cause them to tingle

Honestly the line "doesn't smell like anything in here" can be used for a good horror or mystery book. Rooms have at least one smell so all the smells being covered up has to be unnatural and done purposefully.

33:51 - the "joys" of inbreeding. I always wonder why it's Alabamans/Hillbillies that are the go-to stereotypical target for incest jokes when the royal families of Europe are the OG group for that.

The one about dihydrogen monoxide was so funny. It already made me chuckle right from the beginning.

1: there’s no reason to not wear a cape. 2: the only thing stopping capes from being fashionable again is the fact that not enough people are willing to wear them

hey click im your biggest fan your videos make me lol

18:05 - Yes! I remember hearing about how people stopped posting art on Deviantart, because people would make their art into NFTS, & Deviantart art would say that the art was stollen & was an NFT first, even though it was the other way around.

39:19 in 5,000 years time this will be one of those jokes that loses all context and gets miss translated to the point we have no idea why it was so funny

i love how click just described autism and masking when he was talking about the alien getting social cues right 90% of the time and the rest 10% it's just the most insane stuff a neurotypical would've heard of but logically it makes complete sense lmaooo (for context im autistic and high-masking so that really made me cackle cause it's true)

The "electric stoves are just placebos you boil the water with your brain" is basically how Orks in Warhammer 40k works. They are all low-level psychics, and generate a field that allows their tech to works. Ork tech doesn't work if someone else uses it, but because Orks believe it works, it works.

At my school, our houses were named after precious stones. One kid from "Topaz" house decided that Z stood for "Zeal". Rather ambitious for a fourteen year old, I thought. We didn't have prefects. We had to find our own coming-of-age stories.

9:10 My Dad: “stay out of jail” Me: “no promises” He was just leaving and laughed a lot at my automatic response, it was a nice moment

Wife and I actually use “doesn’t smell like anything in here” as a compliment when one of us deep cleans a room. Ain’t nothing better than a room that just smells like nothing.

I thought the joke for the "furry friends" one was that they were treating furries like actual pets.

20:11 This should be a mandatory lesson for all children. Just when they're young enough to fall for it, but old enough to understand it. It's funny, it's clever, it's a very important message for kids to learn.

29:09 is it weird that I’m into the “Great! Will you be needing anything else today?”?!?

What's even funnier about the "color theory" thing is that they weren't even talking about color theory! Color theory refers to how different colors and values interact with and effect one another, visually!

the fact that the updated anti trans list got worse to the point of having to add a whole other category is terrible. I wish the best for my trans American siblings.

“roses are red, come to my bed” peak poetry, amazing, no notes

I started to come ahead in maths when I ignored what the teachers were telling me to do and started turning the single equations into a group of easier ones (like "7+8 is 2x8=16, -1=15" and "17+6 is 17+3=20, +3 = 23" (rather than "add seven and 6 to get 13 then carry the one...") and so on) also suggested that strategy to my kids as a counter to the "just learn what 7+6 is, goddamnit" bullshit that the teachers favoured. No surprises that I was diagnosed autistic and score highly on ADHD assessments as well and that two of my kids are diagnosed as ADHD with autistic traits.

Fun fact: "mummy brown" was a paint color. The hue came from pulverized mummies. They don't make that paint anymore.

We need more teachers teaching how easily misinformation could spiral out of control.

That Eros post is exactly why you stay for the post-credit scenes. ❤ Also as a guinea pig owner, I can confirm they are the absolute worst creatures for emotional support. 😂

43:48 So, funny story from my opera days that us young students were told to feel a bit better about our frick-ups. (I heard this a long time ago, so no guarantees on all the finer details of who and when.) There was an English soprano who had gone to Italy to join a prestigious opera company there. Opening night, in the middle of her character's most famous aria... she has a total mind blank. Cannot remember the words. She remembers the English translation, sorta, but she cannot remember the Italian lyrics. Orchestra is playing the lead-in to the next verse, counting down to her next entrance, she needs to sing /something/. She starts ordering a pizza in Italian, to the same tune. She's internally cringing, already mentally reading the critic headlines the next day, but trained that it's better to sing /something/ than just stand onstage in panicked silence. She orders that darned pizza for all her dying character is worth. Not only did no one notice, the critic in the paper the next day mentioned specifically how impressed he was with her deep emotional connection to the lyrics! Moral of the Story: if you are onstage, as long as you're confident about it, the only one noticing your mistakes is you.

In some vampire stories the effectiveness of crosses, holy water, and other religious symbols against vampires is entirely dependent on how strongly the wielder believes in them.

The recent "Squint your eyes" meme trend is literally just the new era of Rick Roll.

Fun fact, in the marvel universe, Eros is played by Harry styles

Counterpoint to the smell thing: you do point it out, but only when you hold up something to your nose to smell it. For example, an unripe peach, a worn out scratch-and-sniff sticker, or a scentless flower.

What's fun is I have had actual nightmares about being forced to go back to high school for a single credit

On the ADHD/Autism math thing: I asked my son, before you got to the point where it's mentioned it's an ADHD and autism thing, and he explained that the only way to add 6 to 7 is to divide the 6 into 3s, so you can easily get to ten, and then add the remaining 3 to make 13. Then I asked him to add 7 to 8, and he got into a tangent about how you have to split 7 into 2 and 5, because you don't wanna split the 8 into 3 and 5, as that's just wrong. Anyway, my son's autistic, and I probably have ADHD, so this all made complete sense to us.

Ok. The lion and so many others had me literally crying and almost peeing myself from ugly-laughing. Thanks, Clicky. Such thanks. Much grateful. Supertacksam för huvudvärken som hängde med efter skrattattackerna☝️😌😂🙌🏼

Upsetting that the house named Armstrong was the only house whose mascot doesn't have strong arms. And that's including a shark.

My anatomy teacher was teaching about diabetes and that a diabetic person often has sweet urine. Back then, to check for it, the doctor would have an assistant taste a sample to see if was sweet. He has gloves on and was holding a sample cup of something that looked like pee and drank it in front of the class lol. It was a prank. The cup had apple juice (22:30)

As a very smell sensitive person, I am highly appreciative of rooms/clothes/things not smelling of anything 😂

Last few days have been sone of the worst since hubby passed. Awful dreams and well lots of bad. I keep sobbing and stressing but I get to the place where I can turn your videos on and I truly laugh and out loud. Some of the biggest out loud laughs in a while. I know you hear this a lot but thank you. You deserve to hear it. Finding a funny, but intelligent channel that is so just spot on with the context between videos has helped me so much. I just started to sob again just from pausing to write this. That’s how amazing this channel is to me. I am a women who has petted a lot of grass. I get out and do a lot. But sometimes you have to be at home. And in my case alone after decades of marriage. Not use to being alone. He was adhd and loved me so much. My best friend since 1997…… his birthday would of been tomorrow. I miss him. So damn much. But I survived the first year and basically this last few days I needed to laugh and this channel and the comments have helped me a lot. Yes I am rambling but just have a lot of words and thoughts and no where to share them. Just please be kind. I love snarky comments. Just not up to battle wits today. Find me in a few weeks and I’ll be fine with a little drop to build upon. So much love……..

In my high school in Canada we were also separated into houses. We weren’t separated by house for anything other than various extra curricular activities (like each house putting in their own play at a Christmas and stuff like that). And houses also got awarded house throughout the year which were updated and displayed in our cafeteria. At the end of the year assembly, the winning house would be announced and that house’s name would be engraved on a plaque and you could see the list of all the previous years of winners on it.

My son is autistic, he had another autistic friend who was a maths genius, but couldn't be 'taught' maths the way everyone else did it. With new branches of math, especially complicated math she would see the start of the equation/ puzzle and ask the teacher what the result was. She then worked out what the middle was, in her own way. From then on, she could do that type of mathematics and be right everytime.

The childrens' hospital meme is my all time favourite meme, it's just so frigging funny, no color theory can save you from the children's hospital

Is it just me who absolutely fell in love with his voice? Like bro his voice is the only therapie I need!!

That thing about water was absolutely hilarious! Thank you for making my day. By the way, your videos are just brilliant

Me, to my dad: "hey could you help me fix the computer?" My dad: "what do I look like? A coder?" Also my dad: *is a software developer who is considered one of the best in his field* Me: "yeah, actually"

Looking at that trans-safety map made me sad. Not to mention I'm in Montana where our super conservative legislature voted through several awful bills fully knowing they would get challenged in court. They also SET ASIDE TAXPAYER MONEY to cover the cost of the lawsuits they knew would come up as a result of said legislation. So I'm paying to defend laws they knew would likely not stick around that I definitely don't support.

Fun fact about thinking things work so they work. That's how the orks in 40k work. They think their guns and shops should work so they do.

28:19 He must be Canadian 😂 I don't think anyone else takes Ice Hockey that seriously 😂

Not gonna lie I'm glad the trans safety map was toward the end because it honestly bummed me out and killed the enthusiasm I had for the rest of the video. I can understand why not to make it the very last because it would end the video on a bummer note but it really did stick with me for those last few minutes. I really hope any trans people living in the darker states stay safe. You are loved. ❤🏳️‍⚧️

I totally did a presentation on Dihydrogen Monoxide in my community college public speaking class. It was almost exactly what that teacher described. The look on everyone's faces when I took a drink of it was priceless.

I swear, the compliment you give your viewers at the start of the videos are enough to make my eyes watery. Thank you 😭

About the capes, I used to wear the wackiest shit to school (I say, as if I don't still wear all of those clothes lmao), so like, capes, cloaks, plague doctor mask during covid, top hat, steampunk goggles, 6 inch holographic platform boots, etc. And this was my DAILY clothing choice, and it still is unless I'm at work because I work in a factory currently and I don't want to ruin my good clothes. One time, my friend told me that I had sparked a debate in their homeroom class, and I asked for details, and was told that a girl had gotten scolded for wearing spaghetti straps, and she had argued with the teacher because "How the hell am I distracting people with my shoulders, but somehow PLAGUE DOCTOR MASKS AND CLOAKS aren't distracting at all?!" and it was so great to hear about. I had already singlehandedly helped change some of the dress code, but to hear that other people also knew how bullshit it was because the school board thought a fucking plague doctor mask and top hat was less distracting than a shoulder was fuckin golden. All this to say, if you want to wear a cape or a cloak, DO IT. It's not "out of fashion," it's just not common anymore. Don't let other people's perceptions of you make you think you can't wear things that make you happy. Fashion is about EXPRESSION and identity. So express yourself, your feelings, your identity, with your clothes and accessories. For some people, that's wearing a snazzy button up everywhere you go. For some, like me, it's wearing anything that makes you happy, no matter how ridiculous, over the top, or "weird" other people think it is. I take joy in wearing a top hat and using an umbrella, with a crow skull carved handle, as a cane in fuckin walmart, okay? I'm gonna be honest, as someone who has worn "normal" clothes to the mall, as well as "weird" clothes to the mall, I average about 2-3 compliments per visit when wearing my stranger outfits. People think it's cool. When I wear average clothes, I rarely get ANY compliments, because I'm just another average person to everyone else. But I wear some holographic platform boots and three different people tell me they love my boots in a span of five minutes. WEAR WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

I like how Click low-key brags about his bra removal skills.

My dog, who has never shown interest in screens or speakers, not even if it's us on the phone, sat up and listened intently to Click's reading of Pikachu killing Winnie the Pooh. I'm so glad she's finally showing an interest in art.

watching the click while i'm down is such a morale booster

Fun fact: The reason why Europeans used to regularly consume Egyptian mummies is because they thought it would cure any illness

Fun fact... I have a dog who is scared of thunder so I actually understood that meme before thinking about our fur suited friends. But thinking of them does add something very funny to it. LOL!!!

23:31 My old school tried to implement the house system during my second year and it didn't even last until my third because no one took it seriously except for the staff, students would swap their badges with people in different houses or just get rid of their badges altogether, and because for some reason they kept no actual register of who was in what house it all went to shit real quick.

44:05 My Dad always said 90% of bullshiting is just sounding confident

Just quietly laughing at Click NOT getting the Garfield comic is actually loss. Kinda proved the point there, ol' man!

Okay, for everybody wondering about the time we ate mummies, it is even funnier when you find out it was all created because of a mistranslation. So there were some Europeans who discovered that the arabian people were using different herbs and remedies, which seemed to be working. One of these spices were "mummia" which was simply another herb, but the Europeans translated it to "mummy", which in their minds made sense since, well there were like a LOT of mummyfied corpses around at the time. So for a large period between 1600-1900, you could go to an apothecary and recieve dried and ground up mummy.

Fun fact about the mummy powder, it was also used in 30:14 the artist colors (oil and water color back in the day) it is called Caput Mortum. Color still exists today, but not made from mummy powder. It’s a purple-brownish color 😊

42:10 my state is hanging onto not-entirely-terrible state really impressively actually

I love the customer service voice joke. Most of my coworker friends have told me on separate occasions that they find my customer service voice creepy on overhead announcements. My goal is to sound like a pre-recorded message so nobody can be mad at me specifically about anything I say, but they're usually close enough to me to hear me inputting the message. And it's just so far outside the realm of a normal speaking voice that they say they find it genuinely disturbing. I have been asked to say strange things in that voice, mostly about murder.

2:45 Dang it, Click. Now I want you to voice-act longer stories. This was amazing!

27:33 i imagined mikey going: hey you youre finally awake

In case anyone cares: Mumies were consumed because they were believed to have healimg abilities. It was a legitamte business and as far as I know there were entire gangs that murdered and dfied people and sold them then, when the actual mumies ran out. Also they raided various graveyards (both ancient and new)

the math part and adhd part hit way too close to home lol. I got formally diagnosed last summer and now I understand why I absolutely hated math in elementary. It was so frustrating not being able to tell my teacher how I knew the numbers, and she got really mad at me because I wasn't able to sh ow my work on the homework. It all makes sense to me now.

I'm in an Anthro class, looking at the intelligence, ethics, and emotions of nonhuman animals. The nose thing is bang on - "it doesn't smell like anything in here" is a total winner. And thank you for teaching me about Lovecraft's racism (holy God, his poetry!). And yes on fedoras. Such a busy video!

4:47 As someone on the spectrum, I'm so glad I finally got an explanation as to why I struggled with the "show your work" stuff in school. I thought it was only because I can easily solve math mentally.

The whole "placebo effect that affects reality" is literally just the Orks from Warhammer 40k

26:38 fun fact! Mummies were also ground up for paint! The paint color was Mummy Brown or Egyptian Brown, and its tint was somewhere between Burnt Umber and Raw Umber

I don't know why I always thought Tumblr was cringe when I was growing up. These are all funny. Then again I didn't really know I was gay then either so it was probably suppressed feelings.

What does it say about me that I was able to read what the cats "spelled" without letting my eyes unfocus? I actually didn't even see the cats at first and thought it was a weird art thing...

Hilariously, the ‘it will work if you believe in it hard enough’ is a big part of what powers the Warhammer 40K universe

You know capes remind me of the time my housemate bought a cape for like a dnd campaign that he decided to dress up for. Came back and spent 5 hours wandering the house in a cape and you know what? All the power to him, that cape is sick

When my oldest was young, he used to get upset when he made a mistake in a drawing. I just told him to figure out a way to make it look like it was on purpose! “Mistake? Nope! I meant to do that! “ He learned to stress less and get more creative 😊

It's faster if you put red food coloring in the water. Cause red goes fast. 31:15

I'll be honest, the seclusion during the pandemic was the best thing that happened to my marriage. Both of us needed some time alone and since she was stuck in a different country with her parents that gave us the perfect excuse. I doubt we would be married still without it. Gave us time for soul-searching and realizing that we wanted to stay together.

I got sick of him telling me I smell nice when I stink of sweaty pajamas, so I've started putting on perfume before I watch his videos so that he's actually telling the truth, does that make me crazy? 😆

29:40 plot twist they're both married to each other

I laughed so hard at the existential dog crisis.

The person who made anti-trans legislation map is a genius. It's such a little thing and yet it's so important.

41:30 WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES IN THE SOUP STORE!? -Lelouch, probably

"Roses are red, come to my bed." Thanks for the pickup line I'm going to steal it now

26:26 not only that, but we also made paint with "ground up Egyptian mummies". 🤦

man i love non tumblr people reacting to the classic tumblr memes like the childrens hospital. also the thing theyre talking about is color psychology, not color theory lol

I wonder if the "it smells like nothing in here" isn't a normal thing to say because our brains turn off "smells" we've been smelling for a while and only highlight smells that are suddenly appearing. It doesn't exactly happen with vision that our eyes just decide "We've seen enough of this" and go dark, or with hearing "Nope, no longer picking up voices today, we've had enough talking." Now I *really* want the latter.

I have both an allergy to most fragrances and migraine disease that's aggravated by fragrances. I actually do enter spaces, especially public ones, and remark gratefully that they smell neutral! 😂 It's okay, I know I'm a weirdo. 😅

4:22 as a person diagnosed with ADHD I do this I absolutely do this

41:22 OMG, Click didn't get the soup store joke. I'm over here laughing like a maniac.

5:04 as someone with ADHD who was considered gifted in math I felt this so hard. My brain processes numbers in a much stranger way than most and I literally had a time in high school where we were doing a problem silently and we had to raise our hand when we got it. It took me a few seconds and then I raised my hand. My teacher refused to believe me that I got the right answer because I got it so quick and without writing anything down. So he asked me smugly to give him my answer and I did. I was right. He then asked me how I got that answer and I fumbled through the best explanation I could come up with for my thought process and it clearly didn't make sense to him because he said "...so you just guessed?" That teacher failed me and made me drop out of honors math for the rest of high school.

38:22 At least Kyoya Tategami didn’t take up that part of his furryness lmfao Or he would’ve died in Wolf Canyon lmao

one Polish university just announced that the students are allowed to bring in their pets if they make sure they are safe and no nuisance to the facility

41:51 This map is actually extremely helpful. I'm a trans man living in a high risk state that's getting progressively worse. This map will help me be able to move to a safer state if I am unable to move to a different country. I hope everyone who needs this sees it. Stay safe my fellow trans people.

I find it hilarious that Click totally misses the joke on the Garfield Loss strip and talks about the other thing in it.
