Missed the follow-up post to this from tumblr

"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

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 15 points 3 days ago

Lewd.
Where?
Which evil specifically & where can I find it??

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Noses don't have ankles, stupid.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago

Depends on the religion, I guess.

[-] Lena@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

This could be an anime

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

Those are, on average, still consisted extreme political beliefs, so a war is inevitable - choose your side.

"...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."

“ancient evils” are usually things like blasphemy, insubordination or having intrinsic self-worth.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 16 points 3 days ago

Ancient evils are actually pretty moderate. Anyone down to open The Gate? Yog'Sothoth seems chill and would love the internet.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago

Yog’Sothoth stared into 4chan, and 4chan stared back. And Yog'Sothoth noped right on outta there.

[-] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

If thou gaze long into an anus, the anus will also gaze into thee.

Yog'Sothoth does his dark bidding on the internet.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 3 days ago

There's no better place for it. Imagine still needing to supply robes and flesh-bound books.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 105 points 3 days ago

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."
[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 44 points 3 days ago

I could see it either way. The competing visions for ancient evil: Murdering children for asking questions, or the existence of unmarried women.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yes, just like human countries - on average about that, but also produced on massive country/continent/empire scales.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 27 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

So moderate that I pledge my loyalty to it & move in its domain, defend it from objectively evil human empires, find inner peace & purpose.

Snot, though...

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

Thx (edited it), I just increasingly miss the ' shit when it's autocorrected.

[-] fed0sine@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] itsnotits@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago
[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] forrgott@lemm.ee 23 points 3 days ago

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... 😝

[-] muzzle@lemm.ee 33 points 3 days ago

It's almost like modern United States were built on an ancient Indian burial ground...

[-] forrgott@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago

Oof.

And from the ashes of Roman imperialism, no less. And, by the way, that is the only thing imperialism brings - ashes...

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] itsworkthatwedo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

TIL big box stores = steal cubes. Nice.

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

people on lemmy are so pessimistic (how tf you spell that??)

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

They were just born in the wrong time!

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Ancient evil awakens,

tries to invent the extended car warranty,

Doesn't understand why people aren't fleeing in terror.
