in its heyday, tumblr was a bastion of the old wive's tale. a sacred place where folk tales not only spread, but originated, with new and exciting factoids being written anew by teenagers whose ability to make up compelling yet mundane untruths was surpassed only by their love for toxic yaoi.

users with names like "sherlocks-left-pinky-finger-official" would authoritatively state that "good" came from the word "god" as a push by puritans in the 1700s to make americans mentally associate goodness with holiness, and "clark-kent-is-my-son" would reply "this makes sO MUCH SENSE I AM SCREAMING". then, someone would screenshot it and post it to internet mega funny dot net with the title "Mind. Blown." and that screenshot would circulate for seven years, becoming progressively more JPEGged.

if you can think of any cool and fun facts that you leaned from tumblr (either directly or via screenshot), consider googling it at some point. especially if that fact pertains to greek gods and/or historical figures that have appeared in the play Hamilton.
