Anon awakens an ancient evil

"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
- Lewd.
  Where?
  Which evil specifically & where can I find it??
- What about noses?
This could be an anime
Those are, on average, still consisted extreme political beliefs, so a war is inevitable - choose your side.
"...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."

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

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.
- 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
- Call of cthulhu - Nanowar Of Steel
  
  It just sounds like what you wrotr
- It’s far above anything as simple as one countries president.
  
  How about every country's president/prime minister/king/etc?
"

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."

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

Ancient evils are actually pretty moderate. Anyone down to open The Gate? Yog'Sothoth seems chill and would love the internet.
- 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.

I could see it either way. The competing visions for ancient evil: Murdering children for asking questions, or the existence of unmarried women.

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

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.

move in its* domain
- Username checks out
- Thx (edited it), I just increasingly miss the ' shit when it's autocorrected.
- Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂

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... 😝

It's almost like modern United States were built on an ancient Indian burial ground...
- Oof.
  
  And from the ashes of Roman imperialism, no less. And, by the way, that is the only thing imperialism brings - ashes...
- 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.
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.
people on lemmy are so pessimistic (how tf you spell that??)
Evil - a human competitive thing where we as individuals or as groups of people strive to out-evil all previous attempts at extreme-evil.

It's something that has been flourishing forever, we keep finding new heights.

We've been created for this and are really good at it.

They were just born in the wrong time!

Ancient evil awakens,

tries to invent the extended car warranty,

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

Qual coming at Frieren like...
