Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

MODERATORS
consumer-grade trailer brakes fail or underperform with alarming regularity, especially if the trailer sits idle most of the year. It's pretty nerve wracking stopping a several-thousand kg trailer whose brakes have failed with a pickup truck, and I've seen quite a few trailers towed by smaller cars in the ditch because they couldn't stop or keep it controlled while stopping.
That would usually come up in the annual inspection. I don't know anyone who buys a trailer to have it sit idle though if you can literally just rent one on demand if you only need it once or twice a year
