You fools! It's the Gnostic Demiurge! It has trapped us in a false, twisted material world, shorn from the true light of the Empyrean! Ia! Ia!
Harambe was the key. With this ape's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world that the Cincinnati Zoo has created.
My friend's ex-wife stares at the sun because there's a conspiracy telling us not to stare into the sun and she's going to get to the bottom of it by unlocking her piss chakra or whatever. When they were together I told him he needed to put a parental lock on youtube to keep her from absorbing all of this weird shit that she almost universally believes. Also thinks that the only deaths from the Holocaust are from like typhus fever, and that there are child slave colonies on Mars.
there are child slave colonies on Mars.
What happens to the children when they get older? Do they become "adult slaves"? Or is it a Logan's Run situation?
I'm not sure I never inquired about the details, probably processed into soylent green to feed the next generation of slaves. Here's an article about it https://www.thedailybeast.com/nasa-denies-that-its-running-a-child-slave-colony-on-mars
Now I don't believe this but to be fair this would explain why :billionaire-tears: and :lord-bezos-amused: want to go there so badly
When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so once when I was six, I did. At first the brightness was overwhelming, but I had seen that before. I kept looking, forcing myself not to blink, and then the brightness began to dissolve. My pupils shrunk to pinholes and everything came into focus and for a moment I understood.
The conspiracy stuff came later when she was a stay at home mom with way too much time on her hands. They dated for a few months and then he got her pregnant because she's aggressively Catholic and doesn't believe in birth control. Then they split up but got back together and had another kid.
I've commented to him once or twice that every woman he's been with has been fucking insane and he claimed he had no control over the process.
There's a giant orb perpetually in the sky that they say you can't directly look at and nobody thinks that's weird?
The sun was the first eldritch horror. It's been there forever and will be there after humanity will die, If you look at it for too long you will go blind, and if it looks at you for too long your skin starts burning
Surrounded by the corpses of its children who failed to mature but dance endlessly and silently with perfect geometric precision.
We depend utterly on it for life yet it is completely unaware of our existence.
It never, ever stops looking at us.
And pro tip but sunburn can get BAD. Like 8 hours in the sun on a kayak and the next day my skin bubbled up like golf ball sized blisters. Couldn't walk due to pressure in my knees from lymphatic fluid from the scale of tissue damage
I couldn't sweat for like 5 years and tbh that was great, I ffucking hate getting sweaty. But now i'll probably die of skin cancer and I get sweaty again hahaha hahhhh
It’s been there forever and will be there after humanity will die
if we play our cards right, it will be here when we all die
I went outside to check and the sun's not even there, so it does seem like something might be up
I looked into the sun and now there's a bright spot burned into my vision god damn you CHINA
the Chinese are blinding anyone that looks too closely to their fake sun. All true patriots need to overcome their blinding system by all staring directly into the sun at once until it stops hurting

The sun is yellow, which means it emits no light at the blue end of the spectrum, which is why the sky can be any colour except blue. /
People keep telling me about these "Walls" that you can see right through but you're not allowed to walk through, and I just have to cry about the future that we're leaving for our children.
She says it's on her balcony, I think it might be distortion due to the phone camera lens.
Now I'm unironically wondering how many cases of body dysmorphia have been caused by the fact that camera lenses act unintuitively sometimes.
I fully believe that most kids would benefit greatful from a visual rhetoric 101 class. Just to get an idea of how montage works, of how lenses react to light, how subjective a shot can be, and how editing can be used to change how something feels.
I think its more to do that a sensitive light gathering instrument is being pointed directly at the sun
Not all of us are ancient, actually. I am a changeling because my mother chose both.
can't trick me that easy man I know the fae lore better than that. The fae wouldn't return a human child they keep them as slaves and to sacrifice to the devil in exchange for their continued immortality
The stories vary and there’s not even a consensus among them what a changeling is. Is it one of the fae pretending to be a human to gain access to human milk? Is it a fae child who is raised as a human unknowingly? Will that fae child discover their proclivities as they grow? Is a changeling a construct which will whither and die, leaving a rotten bulb in the crib? All of these stories are told.
As for the babies who are taken away, what happens to them. Are they lifelong servants? Are they given to the devil like you mentioned? Are they taken away and pampered for all their days? Are they raised until they are adolescents and then tortured to death for fun? All of these stories are told, too.
Even if humans were able to tell a consistent story about the fae, I don’t think it would last long. It would simply be too fun to step in and make the story diverge again.
maybe but it must be noted even back when they were the sidhe the fae were objects of fear
Oh, absolutely. The amount of disabled children who were tortured and murdered over the tales is harrowing. Although in some areas, mothers were told that being kind to the changeling would get you your child back. Always sounded like regression to me.
They knew the world was round (like a ball) and savoured every bit of science they could learn from the textbooks that might filter their way out of the private academies and into their hands.
unironically i remember watching this video of bhutanese peasants doing exactly this. they wanted to talk to a guy about quantum computing when he said he was a computer scientist and were so disappointed when he knew jack shit about it
these people collected mushrooms for a living and had no internet
scientists and priests knew the world was round peasants weren't exactly formally educated on the implications of shadows indicating noon isn't always the same time
Everyone references the kid’s crayon drawing of the sun being yellow like it’s proof, but doesn’t think about how the white crayon is the useless one.
Have they tried looking at it through binoculars or a telescope? Might help the color come through a bit better
In season 17 episode 13 “The Fast and the Spurious” Roger has to save the Smith family from a time-traveling version of himself who looked into the sun and developed sun-madness, where the victim is romantically attracted to the sun and wants to fly into it and burn up. Meanwhile, Klaus and Jeff bond over mutual grief.
