Medieval peasant nation.
the boomers who survived exposure to 24/7 news were then exposed to the internet and then to generative LLM slop. only a tiny fraction of those brains have survived intact
(yes generations are a distraction from class, but they have outsized assets and media caters to them)
EDIT: (plus how OLD most American officeholders are)
Lathe: we will see 100% personalized news in our near future if not what we’re seeing already.
Ya I think we’re just about 85% now
“Lieutenant, the leviathan is waking up off the coast of Virginia! What are your orders?” “Quick soldier, make it snow in Ohio.” “Brilliant, sir!”
If Leviathan is waking up, I’m not going to work
b-b-but my small business! oh by the way I can’t pay you this week but I swear it will be in next week’s paycheck.
Look, I gotta pay myself first before I can pay you, I’ve got the wolves at my door, it’s like the pre-flight video says in an emergency you have to secure your own Mercedes AMG GT Coupé first before helping others
I kinda wish our world had actual cool stuff like that instead of microplastic and global warming.
Maybe not country-size ocean snakes, but the world does have Binturongs! It also has deserts. It even has religious architecture! These are some cool things.
Who would win the battle of being believed:
Decades of verifiable scientific research explaining why these extreme weather events are happening
or
One (image that kinda looks like a) giant snakey boi
This is a lot less funny to me after I had to sit through a long bus ride near a woman blaring AI generated christian conspiracy theory videos at full volume, there’s so fucking much of that shit now and it has fried the minds of so many people, this woman was staring at her phone like an ipad baby, 0 awareness of anything around her, but she looked like she was in her 50s or 60s. Shit is so fucked. People who make up these conspiracy theories have caused irreparable damage to some people’s minds.
May Surtur destroy America with his fire sword
It’s Odins fault for being mean to Fenrir
Apologies for slut-shaming, but it’s Loki’s fault for being a too sexy horse.
Jokes aside, it must be awesome to be a brainless facebook boomer who lives in a world that’s like a fantasy novel.
We all wish our biggest issue was an ancient, earth spanning snake awakening from its slumber. It would be easier than this shit.
you do a bunch of character building for about 30 minutes as the snake is foreshadowed, then reveal the snake as all kinds of hell breaks loose, then our characters figure out a way to kill the snake and save the world. two of our most attractive characters kiss. boom donezo
The snake is capitalism. Boom symbolism.
I have to wonder if they actually believe it, or if they just get really into the bit because it’s fun
Knowing my aunt who’s QAnon and MAGA faithful, there’s a lot of true believers
It’s kind of both. The first bit of that False Witnesses article talks a little about this sort of idea.

That’s how one ends up with a bad dragon on their hands like we’re currently seeing!!!
😤
People out here mixing up Leviathan and Jörmungandr, smh
Right?? Jörmungandr eats the whole world, while Leviathan just eats the souls of the damned. You’d think a highly educated populace like the richest nation on Earth would know important things like this.
Too late, the Gjallarhorn has been blown
The Fimbulwinter is upon us!
Hey, don’t blame me, I clipped heaps of dead people’s nails so that Hel wouldn’t have the materials for her ship!
I don’t want to join the einherjar, I don’t even like mead that much
Sorry, pal, but you’re reliving the glory of battle against honorable and valiant foes for eternity!
Nøøø!
citizen, what can you tell us about this… oral incident with what you call your [checks notes] some kind of horn
Futurama instead of simpsons screenshots are fine, I was gonna say Diaenchantment is crossing the line and then realised id be more impressed if you could remember anything from that show.
Yeah, I watched a few episodes and it just didn’t grab me
I might give it another go someday, but for now I’m happy with other stuff
I logged through the first 2 seasons cause I assumed it was going somewhere. It wasnt.
It’s a sit com, do they ever really go anywhere?
This one was serialized and sitcoms fo go somewhere in terms of finding their footing after a couple seasons usually
What nonsensical woo.
That’s clearly Cthulhu.
oh that’s just Ceadeus, give him a good shave and haircut and he’ll settle down
Chat is this real
yes
it had better be, I just sold all my stuff to go worship it
they think scp-169 is real
