"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 19 points 2 years ago

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

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Noses don't have ankles, stupid.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Depends on the religion, I guess.

[-] Lena@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

This could be an anime

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

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

Cthulhu for president 2024. Why settle for a lesser evil?

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 47 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 44 points 2 years ago

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

[-] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

*attempts to fathom terrors* *suddenly gets urge to put on a maid outfit and dust the place* You're not wrong...

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 14 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Maestro@fedia.io 11 points 2 years ago

Tiny? Do you have any idea how large the Great Old One's navel is? You can float a destroyer in it...

[-] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

What, haven't you seen fandoms shipping the bellybuttons of two characters together

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

These naval ships rely on the motion of the ocean to get where they wanna go

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

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 20 points 2 years 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 16 points 2 years ago

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

Yog'Sothoth does his dark bidding on the internet.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Missed the follow-up post to this from tumblr

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 46 points 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] slingstone@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago
[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] fed0sine@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years 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.

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 35 points 2 years ago

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

[-] forrgott@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

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.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.
