ask-captain-rainbow-dash replied to your photo: “If horses had a stop sign, I think it’d look like this. Because it…”:
but that implies that our stop signs look like hands, and I assume you mean stop signs on the road so that doesn’t make any sense I’ve never seen a stop sign on the road that looked like a hand

I was more inspired that the pictogram for “don’t walk” on pedestrian crossings.

Also, the only reason why our stop signs are octagonal is because MUTCD wanted a unique sign to catch people’s attention (most signs are rectangular or triangular). A hand-shaped sign was stupid.

But a simplified hoof has a basic yet unique design that can easily be recognized as distinct from regular signs, which is important for the horses because they often use pictograms.

It also makes sense logically, considering that like our hand gesture, raising one’s hoof in front of somepony is a sign to stop.

TL;DR: I’m overthinking this horseshit to the max please leave me be in my tiny hole of random thoughts.

Have you ever set a deadline for yourself and then suddenly found yourself 5 hours behind because of random malware on your parent’s laptop, reorganizing luggage bags to save money and weight, checking in to a flight, waiting for dad to stop talking to a relative so I could get his card to pay for checking bags, and then fixing a printer to print out boarding passes?

Bleh.

Welp.
Just got into my first car accident.

Story time!

I was heading down a freeway on a curved bridge. Guy on a motorcycle suddenly came in too fast and sideswiped me.

We’re both fine, so don’t worry.

No massive damage to the car, either. Just a couple dents and scrapes.

If you're brave enough to scroll to the bottom of the notes you might find the original post or one of the first few reblogs gasp. I'm sure as heck not sinking my time in that since I don't have any efficient ways of doing that.

My computer lags to hell if I scroll to the bottom of posts with over 5 thousand notes.

Scrolling down 12 million is gonna fry it to a crisp.

So yeah. A mystery for the ages…

How are people still not aware the “let’s make [insert anything] the most reblogged picture on tumblr.” post is just the same post with a different image every time.

One has to wonder what the post was about originally.

A mystery for the ages.
