Missed the follow-up post to this from tumblr
I could see it either way. The competing visions for ancient evil: Murdering children for asking questions, or the existence of unmarried women.
Yes, just like human countries - on average about that, but also produced on massive country/continent/empire scales.
“I’m going to teach your women to read, and encourage your children to go into a different profession than their fathers’!”
Make women show their ankles in public next
Lewd.
Where?
Which evil specifically & where can I find it??What about noses?
Depends on the religion, I guess.
Noses don’t have ankles, stupid.
“…and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there, only just the night before, about eight o’clock.”
This could be an anime
Those are, on average, still consisted extreme political beliefs, so a war is inevitable - choose your side.
“ancient evils” are usually things like blasphemy, insubordination or having intrinsic self-worth.
Ancient evils are actually pretty moderate. Anyone down to open The Gate? Yog’Sothoth seems chill and would love the internet.
Yog’Sothoth stared into 4chan, and 4chan stared back. And Yog’Sothoth noped right on outta there.
If thou gaze long into an anus, the anus will also gaze into thee.
Yog’Sothoth does his dark bidding on the internet.
There’s no better place for it. Imagine still needing to supply robes and flesh-bound books.
Ancient evil awakens,
tries to invent the extended car warranty,
Doesn’t understand why people aren’t fleeing in terror.
So moderate that I pledge my loyalty to it & move in its domain, defend it from objectively evil human empires, find inner peace & purpose.
move in its* domain

No tits, none whatsoever.
Snot, though…
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
Thx (edited it), I just increasingly miss the ’ shit when it’s autocorrected.
This is my first time seeing itsnotits in the wild on Lemmy.
Before your edit, I would have walked away thinking they are a joke account that writes “its” for every grammatical situation, even if its incorrect.
even if it’s* incorrect.
That one is one of those grammatical situations that I literally remember as “it works the way that does not make sense” since it is the only subject where the possessive form does not use an apostrophe before the s.
But it bothers me too, not as mistakes by other people, but when I do it - I meant one thing but out came the other, it’s frustrating and feels uncanny/alien, like having your controls mapped wrong in a video game.
Yet I will not endure the fatigue of living without gesture-typing on my phone (the fantastic HeliBoard, but with a proprietary google gesture typing library). I ofc always have automatic autocorrect off (just suggesting are on), but with gestures you have to correct things like “it”~“it’s” like 50% of the time & my eyes are getting lazy.
They were just born in the wrong time!
Cthulhu for president 2024. Why settle for a lesser evil?
"
- I’ll drive all humanity insane!
- How does the insanity manifest?
- They’ll carve strange sculptures, chant and dance around them, and maybe make orgies."
Cthulhu is the CEO of, and the entire board of an international company that was originally started by selling second hand pencils, and is now in control of 2/3 of the worlds food supply, ceiling fans, caste iron cookware, navel ship contracts, fire alarm and led light bulb multinational alliances, crawfish bait stores, mesh trucker hats, smart TVs…
It’s far above anything as simple as one countries president.
While the “caste iron cookware” sounds fascinating, I’m mostly interested in these “navel ships”
Please don’t edit your comment, the mental images I’m getting from it are fantastic
Attempting to fathom the terrors of the Old Ones only leads to maidness
*attempts to fathom terrors* *suddenly gets urge to put on a maid outfit and dust the place* You’re not wrong…
What, haven’t you seen fandoms shipping the bellybuttons of two characters together
Navel ships makes for the real cosmic horror here.
Lovecraftian horror is just realizing the earth is floating in a sea of dark matter that splooshed into the elder god’s belly button.
I’m mostly interested in these “navel ships”
You ever heard of “belly-button shots”? Well a navel ship is what you get if you float a tiny boat on one.
Tiny? Do you have any idea how large the Great Old One’s navel is? You can float a destroyer in it…
These naval ships rely on the motion of the ocean to get where they wanna go
It’s far above anything as simple as one countries president.
How about every country’s president/prime minister/king/etc?
Call of cthulhu - Nanowar Of Steel
It just sounds like what you wrotr
Qual coming at Frieren like…
I think ancient evil very much does exist. But it’s the same as modern evil. I figure it must exist, and it’s the presence of this evil that has caused such a fucked up society to emerge.
In other words, this is not the golden age of mankind; quite the opposite I’m afraid… 😝
It’s almost like modern United States were built on an ancient Indian burial ground…
Oof.
And from the ashes of Roman imperialism, no less. And, by the way, that is the only thing imperialism brings - ashes…
Some of the ruins are pretty neat too. But back then their architecture had style. The ruins of todays concrete and steal cubes are going to be lame.
TIL big box stores = steal cubes. Nice.
Guess that was a freudian missspelling
Idk, subways would be pretty cool to explore, especially the fancy stations in places like Seoul where there are tons of shops and stuff.
Literally. The Mayflower settlers moved into a town that had recently been wiped out by disease. People were still mourning in nearby communities when they just walzed in.
people on lemmy are so pessimistic (how tf you spell that??)
I think that’s likely to happen. Once the Internet and digital media is gone the information age will become an information dark age to historians.
Depending on what happens it’s entirely possible for future cultures to actively avoid another industrial revolution like ours was.
Evil - a human competitive thing where we as individuals or as groups of people strive to out-evil all previous attempts at extreme-evil.
It’s something that has been flourishing forever, we keep finding new heights.
We’ve been created for this and are really good at it.
