Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

In german forks are feminine and spoons are masculine. I hope speaking German isn't satanic for having trans-utensils.

In romanian, both are feminine and knives are the secret third gender

secret third gender

Sounds awesome. At what level of the game is it unlocked?

In French they're both feminine and knives are masculine.

Hell yeah, I want my language to be satanic!

German is probably a fair choice then.

It sounds Satanic but when you actually hear Satanic chants/rites/etc. they're usually in Latin. If someone were to make a language that mixed Germanic and Romance sources, then, it would truly be the language of evil.

If such an abomination exists, then I have some very good news for you and other Anglophones.

Which gender do sporks land in?

In German it's called "Der Göffel" a mix of "Der Löffel" (spoon) and "Die Gabel" (fork). So it's masculine from the Löffel part.

It's funny how the word mix is backwards in German/English. English has fork at the end of the word and German spoon.
