I woke up with this idea for a cosmology that I might could write about:

God is a plagiarist

A little like the gnostic idea of there being a hidden God and a malevolent God , but it’s the the hidden God that made everything, and the malevolent God is the one that’s been hanging around humanity the last dozen millenia.

Hidden God made the universe, created the stars and the darkness, the land and the sea, the plants, animals, and humans. The celestial spheres where set in motion by them, and then they went away. To create more elsewhere? Maybe, probably. But they’re not around anymore. They left our plant and species to fend for ourselves, knowing we’d manage with the gifts* they gave us.

And then another God showed up to the unsupervised earth and started yelling at prophets, telling them He made the universe and everybody needs to worship him. He’s the one who came up with the garden of eden story, who wrote the 10 commandments, who eventually sent Jesus to bring salvation to humanity.

But he lied. He didn’t make us. He may be a God with all the powers that implies, but he just showed up to a bunch of hairless apes who were wondering where they came from and yelled “oh I did it. I’m your daddy, I made you all!”

I dunno what to do with this story idea. I’m not sure where it could go at the moment. I’ll have to let it stew a while.

* the unique gifts of Homo Sapiens Sapiens are not “intelligence” and “wisdom” as some might assume, but are canonically “cooking”, “baseball”, and “walking for a long time**”

** my phone wanted to say the third one is “butt boy”. No…

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

Heads up that this is a very extensive questionnaire and might be daunting to a lot of writers (myself included). That being said, it is also an amazing questionnaire and I will definitely be using it (or at the very least, some of it).

Among his other activities, [Steve Wozniak] collects phone numbers, and his longtime goal has been to acquire a number with seven matching digits. But for most of Woz’s life there were no Silicon Valley exchanges with three matching digits, so Woz had to be satisfied with numbers like 221-1111.

Then, one day, while eavesdropping on cell phone calls, Woz begin hearing a new exchange: 888. And then, after more months of scheming and waiting, he had it: 888-8888. This was his new cell-phone number, and his greatest philonumerical triumph.

The number proved unusable. It received more than a hundred wrong numbers a day. Given that the number is virtually impossible to misdial, this traffic was baffling. More strange still, there was never anybody talking on the other end of the line. Just silence. Or, not silence really, but dead air, sometimes with the sound of a television in the background, or somebody talking softly in English or Spanish, or bizarre gurgling noises. Woz listened intently.

Then, one day, with the phone pressed to his ear, Woz heard a woman say, at a distance, “Hey, what are you doing with that?” The receiver was snatched up and slammed down.

Suddenly, it all made sense: the hundreds of calls, the dead air, the gurgling sounds. Babies. They were picking up the receiver and pressing a button at the bottom of the handset. Again and again. It made a noise: “Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.”

The children of America were making their first prank call.

And the person who answered the phone was Woz.

ROSANNA PANSINO???

I don’t think y’all understand how dedicated this woman is to fucking up Mr. Beast, Logan Paul, and KSI

She got a journalism degree and ended up not using it because she was concerned her dyslexia would cause issues, only for Mr. Beast to be such an asshole that she’s using that degree for everything it’s worth

She’s been leading the main charge against Mr. Beast basically ever since she initially called him out for editing one of his youtuber competitions so that the top three excluded her and Quackity, who were actually in the top three.

This woman is done playing games and so far she’s done some wild stuff to completely fuck over Mr. Beast, including leaking full copies of his organization documents and documents given to employees of his company.

ur future nurse is using chapgpt to glide thru school u better take care of urself

Yep. This is terrifying. I’ve caught nursing majors, engineering majors, architecture majors relying on ChatGPT to do their homework. These are people who need to know their field well to ensure people don’t die and they’re letting a glorified algorithm cheat them through school. It’s so dangerous

hey. hi. I work in academia. and there are a lot of student-age folks on this site.

don’t do this. don’t use genAI. even if your professors give you permission. even if they ask for it or suggest it. if they do anything short of directly requiring it (and I weep, because I’ve already seen assignments that require it) don’t touch that crap. if they do require it, stick it to them. be as maliciously compliant as possible. be a nightmare.

I know it might sound easier right now – just plug in your assignment and get the answers. you don’t care about this class anyway, it’s not for your major, you don’t see the value of the assignment.

but for your own sake, for the sake of your education and mind, and for the sake of the future world we want to have: learn the stuff. you are not as stupid as the corporate bizzaro kings who want to rule the world think you are, so don’t give them reasons to believe it.

and odds are good genAI is gonna give you corrupted info anyway – more and moreso as the machines cannibalize themselves.

just don’t do it. not even “I just do it for XYZ–” no. stop. there is no valid use of generative AI, and even using it for memes or lolz feeds the system and directly feeds the pockets of the people who want to replace you anyway.

Rage reblogging this. Yesterday i got into an argument with one of my college friends who is using chatGPT to do all her work. We’re psychology students. The whole group chat laughed my arguments off as if they didn’t matter because “she’s an artist, of course she’s anti-AI” and i had to deal with it. This is a warning. If your therapist graduated in 2023/2024, ask about their opinions on chatGPT. They might lie to you if you ask “did you use it to graduate” directly, but try to make jokes about it and play it cool. If they’re into it, DROP OFF. FIND A NEW ONE. Do not trust your brain to someone who didn’t bother to use theirs.

NOW WAIT A GOSH DARN MINUTE HERE, Y'ALL! I KNOW ONE OF THOSE PICTURES!

The Black Eyed Pea one is my cat’s left paw beans! 😲

💜The Sonic'06 Hipster💜

I seriously felt my brain kick into overdrive because I recognized that little speckling pattern, cuz that’s my cat right there!

A wonderful 17 year old girl, she is too. The owner of that lovely paw.

In fact, all her paws are different~

Here’s the owner of the nice Black Eyed Pea toe beans~

It’s been almost two years now since Shy left us at the age of 18, and I think about how awesome it is that she managed to leave a small presence online and that at any random moment, I could still see her funny little toe beans. 🥺

I got her as a 13th birthday gift when she was a 6wk old kitten, and I remember thinking at one point: “… I want everyone to know how cute my cat is.”

Of course, I had more grandiose ideas in mind at the time because I was a kid, but hey, look Shy, we did it. You’re a little piece of a decently popular post on the internet.

Shy’s been gone almost 3 years now, and I just want to say that her toe beans still seems to be a common model got the “Black Eyed Pea” variant, even when I look up variations of the meme chart online

I really just want to take a moment to express my amusement that my cat is still being kept alive in memory unintentionally because I took a picture of her paw, and it’s gotten alternate unintentional artwork because it’s part of a larger meme. 🥺

once I did an Americorps position & I won’t get into exact details but two months in my one other coworker & I were rly frustrated bc we weren’t doing anything in our job description or the contract we signed whatsoever & instead we were basically being used as extremely underpaid retail staff and slowly the ppl in charge of us were cornering us more and more into that until I was finally like okay….what the hell? I opened up the work contract I signed and realized I hadn’t done a single thing listed in my role so I sent a long (professionally worded) complaint email to Americorps and they called me an hour later in total outrage because it turned out the work we were being made to do was explicitly prohibited by the program and we were being 100% exploited for cheap labor and the very next day we got a new supervisor and spent the rest of our year doing what we signed up to do and it rocked.
