Remember the cup song??
I remember the cup song
It turns 20 next year
this post is why I learned Cups from the 2012 movie Pitch Perfect was based on a song from 1931 called When I’m Gone that was reworked into a folk song in 1937 called Miss Me When I’m Gone, a cover of which was first recorded and uploaded to YouTube with the cup game as the percussion in 2009. please note that none of these years are 2006, twenty years prior to next year, 2026
That’s because I lied!!

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.
(Stares in bewildered Australian) And?
I swear to fucking god if I see another post about someone from the southern hemisphere saying shit like this. No one on Tumblr is capable of understanding when someone is talking about their own experience and be normal about it. I don’t even really give a shit about the Christmas side of this just that climate change has gotten so bad that there is no longer ice in Scotland in December and you should be worried about that actually. Imagine if people came on here being like I don’t give a shit about Australian wildfires because it doesn’t effect me
Just saying, while I share the sentiment of being weirded out by increasingly warm winters, the idea of “snowy Christmas” is profoundly anglocentric, even within Europe.
The concept of a “white Christmas” is pretty rare to experience anywhere in Europe southern than Amsterdam (so ¾ths of Europe, population-wise). Hell, even some of the nordic capitals (Copenhagen and Stockholm) only get white Christmas maybe once per decade or so. Sure, it can snow everywhere, but in December? It’s rarely enough for the snow to actually settle.
So yeah, not really a very significant portion of Europe, really.
Oh my god you people can’t read anything without being mad that it’s not about you.
I live in Central Europe and we ABSOLUTELY used to have snow in December when I was a kid, roughly twenty years ago. We don’t anymore. Wtf are some of these replies on.
