Tumblr has been around for well over a decade at this point, and in internet time, that might as well be centuries.
The wealth of culture amassed within those years far outweighs the historical remains of some ancient civilizations. You could fill entire massive libraries with the content on this platform, and one or two of the posts aren’t even about Doctor Who.
But a few have risen to the top. They’ve become legends. They are part of our heritage. These are the Tumblr posts that belong in a museum.
15. Lorem ipsum
Some sort of test post, apparently. Or else this “Demo” is an ancient god of some kind.
14. No it’s Becky
Then she infamously had a t-shirt made of this and worse it.
13. The ball pit
From the infamous failure of Dashcon.
12. Digital Boston harbor
History repeats itself.
11. The deathening
Seriously, for a while the entire website was more or less only these five franchises.
10. Tumblr = Boring
You don’t wanna mess with us.
9. Unpopular Ship
When you just need to feel a certain kind of love.
8. Imagine How is Touch the Sky
It’s like the sign version of that “Have You Ever Had a Dream” kid.
7. I like your shoelaces
But did this ever happen?
6. Tumblr Prom
I can feel the butterflies in my stomach already.
5. The reading wars
They really got very out of hand quickly.
4. Question everything
It started out with a post, how did it end up like this…

3. The Russian spies
They’re pretty much the entire internet.
2. Fight like a girl
The queen approves.
1. World tour
A case of non-mistaken identity.
Absolute classics.
