Business Insider has a piece by Caroline Moss, from January 2014, in which it profiles Tumblr’s TOS — that are funny, full of easter egg surprises, and with a strong character.

A ban on pretending to be ‘Sherlock’ actor Benedict Cumberbatch:
A message to remind you how wonderful you are:
A reminder to not be crude:
