i go on instagram reels to observe the strange rituals

[toskarin]

doing the "we are the daughters of the witches you couldn't burn" thing in a catholic country making it somewhat unclear what I'm getting at

[maniculum]

Trying to parse whether this reblog is making:

An extremely inaccurate assumption about how widespread witch trials were in the early modern period

An extremely specific point about the prevalence of different execution methods (most accused witches in Britain were hanged, not burnt)

A radical claim about the ontology of nations (technically the “United Kingdom” wasn’t created until the 1800 Acts of Union, therefore nothing prior to that date happened “in the UK”)

[toskarin]

this is an excellent question but your phone may have a concussion

This was a compilation of clips from dramas but I thought I was getting AI-generated clickbait from the Tang dynasty

[batshit-auspol]

what the fuck is the statistics office planning

[toskarin]

King in Yellow is a compelling work and also one that basically everybody backports Lovecraft onto to its enormous disservice. kind of the opposite of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Dracula in that regard, because you read the latter and go "oh fuck me it's actually kind of a faithful tonal adaptation"

[toskarin]

the funniest part of seeing someone read Dracula for the first time after reading Jojo is that they always have that moment of dawning realisation as a literal cowboy companion joins the party

there are a lot of really good ancient roman laws but i think my favorite is that, if you got struck by lightening and died, you couldnt have a proper burial because it meant that the gods hated you

[ancient-rome-au]

“Jupiter cancelled him and we’re not going to question that”

[antique-scarecrow]

genuinely asking: how would these laws apply to that guy who got struck by lightning on seven separate occasions but survived every time?

[nanarchy]

I think I would have assumed Zeus was trying to fuck him.

[antique-scarecrow]

worst possible response thanks so much

nonlocal area code = hang up. obvious telemarketer

local area code = hang up. this one is also a telemarketer but trying to be sneaky

never answer the phone ever

[cigarettesforcats]

this is why everyone on this website is a virgin

[dwinkus]

I’m not gonna fuck the telemarketer man

Doctor: $140,000 a year

Furry artist on Patreon: $160,000 a year

[trilllizard666]

i think you’re lowballing the furry art amount tbh

[pukicho]

I’m sorry for the inaccuracies, Doctor Yiff

[trilllizard666]

no matter how I respond to this I don’t look good, well played. i walked right into that

[boobachu]

Well, furry artists are typically more competent and courteous than your average doctor, so I can see that.

[pukicho]

Did you just legitimately tell me that a person who draws wolf ass is more competent than a dude who spent 8+ years in a university to give you your lung transplant?

[hieronymus-botch]

doctors are bullshit and furry artists perform an infinitely more valuable service to society compared to them

[pukicho]

You will die in 7 days

[hokuto-ju-no-ken]

It took doctor’s like 10 years to diagnose what was wrong with me, some insisting I was faking for attention while a furry artist I knew just went “that sounds like crohn’s” after hearing me complain once and ended up being right

Also I can’t go to a doctor and ask them to draw Rouge the Bat wider than she is tall with tits to match, now can I

[kolbye]

You could if you weren’t a fucking coward

[toskarin]

one of those passively unfortunate things, it sure does suck how much anglocentrism in computing slowly but surely (and relatively quickly in the grand scheme) encourages people to knock the accents off of their names. their actual names, band names, whatever it may be

[recursivewitch]

I've never read Homestuck but there's a type of media that I call "a Homestuck" and I think it's a useful categorization. The main criteria are:

long enough that the time investment is a serious barrier to entry

irrevocably changes your personality

brings something genuinely unique to the table. there is no real substitute for reading/playing/watching it in its entirety

Fate/Stay Night is a Homestuck. Worm is a Homestuck. When They Cry is a Homestuck.

Undertale has cultural impact similar to a Homestuck at first glance, but the fact that it's a pretty short and accessible game means that you don't get the particular mix of sunk cost fallacy and an intimate experience with a piece of media that results in you needing to connect with others who have already put in the time investment. You can buy your friends Undertale and expect them to play it if they're not too busy; telling a friend to read Homestuck is giving them a quest that, if accepted, will spark an odyssey. to read someone's Homestuck is an act of love without true equivalent.

that's food and snacks! you can eat it to restore your gumption. be careful though! if you eat the same thing twice in a row, you will begin to accumulate pathos, which can only be removed by spending glory

[aokozaki]

[Ask about gumption] [Ask about pathos] > [Ask about glory] [Enough for now]
