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.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

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

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 18 hours ago

Depends on the religion, I guess.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

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

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

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 15 points 1 day 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 12 points 23 hours ago

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

[-] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours 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 1 day ago

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

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Ancient evil awakens,

tries to invent the extended car warranty,

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

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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...

Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂

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

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

[-] fed0sine@lemm.ee 2 points 23 hours 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.

They were just born in the wrong time!

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

[-] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 day ago

"

  • 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."
[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 43 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 41 points 1 day 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

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 36 points 1 day ago

Attempting to fathom the terrors of the Old Ones only leads to maidness

[-] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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

[-] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day 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.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 14 points 1 day 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 1 day ago

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

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

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

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago

How about every country's president/prime minister/king/etc?

Qual coming at Frieren like...

[-] forrgott@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day 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 35 points 1 day ago

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

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

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.
