      I speak Tumblr, I can help.

      copywriteddad wrote a post about a character feeling like a fantastical steampunk machine out of coal. Someone reblogged it making fun of them saying a steampunk machine is out of coal (instead of steam, I suppose) in the tags. Imagine quote tweeting but just adding tags. However tags on Tumblr doesn’t readily show up so copywriteddad screenshoted it in order to reply. The other user doubles down, publicly this time, so copywriteddad have to point out coal is needed to boil water in steampunk.

        Oh Great Tumbling Sage, I have long sought out one of your ilk!

        Tell me, should I, a humble gay, get into tumbler? It seems scary, but also fun. I saw what they did to poor John Green.

    I expect in 120 years, kids will re-invent what they think is 1990’s cyberpunk by gluing CDs and bits of broken DVD players onto their hats.

    There’s a movie called Steamboy whose premise is the creation of a device that can store steam at nearly infinite pressure

    So with a device like that, you might not need coal for your flying machine =)

      I feel like storing steam at nearly infinite pressure is easier than getting steam to nearly infinite pressure
