I found a smooth shark in the wild.

Sharpedo has Rough Skin not because it is a shark (sharks are smooth), but because it is a torpedo (torpedos have a rough exterior)! Hope this helps!

Are we all just nihilists now? Is that all it is?

I feel like nobody believes in anything anymore. It's all irony. We're too ashamed to believe in anything. Believing in anything is cringe. People who don't believe in anything are so edgy and cool.

Well fuck all of that. I'm lame. I'm the fucking Jughead Riverdale meme and I own it. I'll continue to express myself. I'll continue to do it inappropriately. I'll continue to be openly cringe with or without self awareness. The alternative is so much worse.

Would the smooth sharking post pay child support?

The twitter post what started this whole thing.

[watercolormagicalgirl]

what if instead of calling mags “clips” like the meme usually is, i called what are technically clips “mags” just to be obstinate and piss off pretentious gun nerds

i think i can officially add cartoon theory videos to my fixations list

One day a post like this will genetically map to a smooth shark, and all of Tumblr will celebrate

why didn't they just leave pompeii when the volcano erupted? were they stupid?

[kinky-cas]

the reason for all those “damn you guys weren’t lying, destiel IS real” posts is that from the outside, it is very hard to tell the difference between the grasping-at-straws of the successfully queerbaited, and the increasingly desperate arguments of fans being smoothsharked (straightsharked, if you will) by a tv network for over a decade.

I swear these polls are getting smoothsharked big time. What do you mean the turtles aren’t scaly? What do you mean the dragon is smooth? What??

That being said, I absolutely love this poll concept and I hope you keep it going! :)

While there might be an element of smoothsharking going on I don't think the official art is helping - looking purely at the shading and light, I can totally understand how they can read as smooth.

And don't worry, I plan to keep it going for a loooong time yet ^.^

@ariswolfram what will you do if I shoved you down there

[possessedscholar]

Smoothsharking: the act of presenting a false fact as real and continuing to act as if it’s true when someone tries to correct you, specifically when done for comedic effect.

If someone's reaction to you being genuine, to you seeking the truth, to you asking questions... is to waste your time? That person is scum of the earth. They don't deserve a second of your time. Destroy them if you can. If you can't, delete them from your life.

the monty hall post is wild to me because it's not even a smoothshark she introduced that she was doing it to drive a friend insane in the first post. it's like falling into a spike pit with an easy route around and multiple signs

[toskarin]

I have no quarrel with you but the "AI" Elf Post feels less smoothsharking and more like, "haha you fell for my ultimate trickery: lying online"

Even with the bit about sex perverts slipped in

I see how you can come to that conclusion, but the first time someone asked, I very much did say "this is a joke about the posts where people are praising AI video" and explained the full joke, along with what it's from. every response after that is me turning towards the camera and saying that it's a popular french animated film that cost a lot of money and did not make a lot of money
