the bait and switch here.... gotta give it up to tumblr's team for this one never in my life have I ever clicked on something more furiously or been more relieved to see it was a bit

@staff chose violence today, and it is one of the most amazingly petty things I have seen in my life. Seriously, look at this:
But wait, it gets even better! Because this is NOT any kind of verification!
It is a purely cosmetic thing to mock Twitter and the Elongated Muskrat, while doubling as a very clever fundraising feature.
And what’s even better is that the blue checkmarks stack. $7.99 gets you two checkmarks, but if you pay another $7.99, then you get four checkmarks, and so on. I saw someone with twenty Important Blue Internet Checkmarks, just because they could.
This has the same kind of chaotic energy as Blaze, and I’m loving it. I just wish there was an option to give other people Important Blue Internet Checkmarks, because that would just add to the glorious chaos while being completely non-harmful.
Am I going to get a set for myself? Well, I have a spare $8 and low impulse control, so more than likely. Then I’ll sit back and hope that they do actually turn into crabs at some point.

Dear Tumblr @staff,
I feel very verified having 2 blue checkmarks now, but I really hope that they will randomly change into crabs.
In fact, here are 2 BLUE CRABS which are infinitely better than 2 blue checkmarks.
Yours officially,

there should be a prediction market on when the Important Blue Internet Checkmarks will carcinize*
do we think the carcinization will happen all at once? some fixed amount of time after the checkmarks are acquired?
maybe it should be like radioactive decay where they have some probability of turning into crabs independently of each other so at some point most people will have some mix of checkmarks and crabs and we can measure the half-life
🦀🦀🦀
*for those unfamiliar with the term, carcinize = taking a cancroid form in the course of evolution, i.e., turn into crabs 🦀🦀🦀

I think the funniest part of these checkmarks is that they aren't even visible on the Android app. I just paid $13 AUD for something I can't even see.
