Make women show their ankles in public next

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 19 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Noses don't have ankles, stupid.

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

Depends on the religion, I guess.

[-] Lena@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago

This could be an anime

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 46 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks 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 19 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 46 points 3 weeks 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 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 44 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Missed the follow-up post to this from tumblr

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

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

Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂

[-] forrgott@lemm.ee 21 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] forrgott@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks ago

TIL big box stores = steal cubes. Nice.

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

Guess that was a freudian missspelling

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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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.
