Brilliant! Explanation for those of my mates who read my tumblr through the web and aren’t tumblr users: tumblr has introduced some sort of popularity metric called “tumblrity” which… well,I think it is calculated as a psuedorandom number generator’s output multiplied by a split-second realtime reading of the background radiation count on the Hubble space telescope divided by the number of particles rendered visible through Brownian motion in a standard 1m^3 cloud chamber watched by a webcam at Tumblr HQ. In other words, it appears to be bollocks. (via katefeetie)
