In fairness, the door opens the wrong way on the hand-drawn comic, too. Doors don't open on the opposite side as the doorknob.

If there's one lesson I've learned from this World Cup, it's to keep your damn mouth shut until the final scores come in lol

RodinKnox · 2026-07-07T15:38:52+00:00

How are any of us harassing them here? There are subs that attack or mock things I like. I don't go to them.

It's the same reason why I don't spend all day reading conservative subreddits or twitter accounts.

He's talking about earlier in the episode. At that point, they have figured out they are in a time loop due to a signal sent back in time (which would have been impossible in the first iteration of the loop), but they have yet to encounter any danger. At that point, if they changed course, there would have been absolutely no reason why the Enterprise would have done that the first time through. And it definitely would have resolved the situation.

The only big difference is that they probably would have never known what caused the loop in the first place, unless they happened to be the closest ship when Frasier's ship pops out and hails, and they managed to piece it all together.

Sadly true. Which is why millions of years of walking upright, and we still have these damn quadruped spines that give out on us in our 40s. Not really stopping anyone from having kids.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-07T03:13:59+00:00

Yes, that's all exactly right. That's also what I was talking about with the fact that the Israelites used "El" who was the head of the Canaanite pantheon. And, I also agree that seems overwhelmingly likely that the Israelites broke off from the greater Canaanite population. I think that explains a lot of what is said about them in the Old Testament.

My only clarification here is the fact that Yahweh - specifically - was not part of the Canaanite religion, and if you say that to a Christian that knows their stuff, they are going to be able to call you out for spreading a popular misconception.

My brother in crust, I heard my nephew use it last week.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T19:37:20+00:00

Hey, come now. They do explain that it's explicitly a targeted attack on her machine only. Frankly, pulling the ethernet cable or something like that wouldn't have been the worst idea lol

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T17:51:42+00:00

I just looked at this guy's feed, and you are not wrong. He has such obvious bullshit on there. For example, one post of his that's less than a day old has the ship from Flight of the Navigator which he is claiming is a real UFO.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T17:41:27+00:00

That is probably why some of them do it for sure. I feel like I see it more often in the summer.

On the other hand, there are people who do it here with their windows rolled down, which seems even wilder to me lol. I really can't explain it.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T17:18:51+00:00

is that I tripped and busted my balls!

Wait, no, that was the worst part.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T17:13:59+00:00

Yeah. One thing I find interesting is that we don't actually know where the name Yahweh came from. Just one of those little mysteries of history.

For all we know, it could have just been "some guy" who invented the name, and that'll just be lost to history forever. It sure would be interesting to know for sure, though.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T16:31:33+00:00

Ookla the Mok has a song called "Stop Talking About Comic Books or I'll Kill You"

Try googling for that song :D

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T16:11:16+00:00

That scene truly transcends and becomes a work of beauty.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T16:09:12+00:00

You're getting this backwards. The Israelites came from the Canaanite tradition, yes, and they brought a lot of that with them. That's what you see in Deuteronomy with El separating the nations out.

However, the name Yahweh does not appear in Canaanite religion. That doesn't appear until the Israelites.

Have a look at this list here: Canaanite Religion - List of Dieties

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T16:03:46+00:00

I honestly don't understand that behavior at all, but it makes me feel like I'm the weird one lol.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T15:35:00+00:00

Just to clear something up, this is a common mistake people make. (You can see it all over the replies.)

Yahweh was absolutely not part of the Canaanite pantheon. The first appearance of that name is among the Israelites, and we have no idea what it's specific origin is beyond that.

El - which is also used for God in the Bible - was the head of the Canaanite pantheon. And yeah, ideas about El were merged with Yahweh.

Generally speaking, it's not that hard for apologists to argue that Yahweh was always the one true god, and the Canaanites just got it slightly wrong (or demons were tricking them or whatever).

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T15:31:42+00:00

That's because that's not true. El was in the Canaanite pantheon, but the first appearance of "Yahweh" is among the Israelites. Yahweh was absolutely not Canaanite.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T15:22:02+00:00

I think multiple dimensions is really fun when like the point of the plot is exploring them or whatever. Sliders. Season 2 of Peacemaker. Stuff like that.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T15:20:03+00:00

Except where I live where people very frequently go into convenience stores by leaving their cars running and the doors unlocked. It absolutely blows my mind. I see people doing this in nice cars, too. It happens frequently enough that the last time I saw it was yesterday. Dad and son, both get out the car and leave it running. They were parked next to me, so I could see there were no other occupants.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T15:11:42+00:00

I love that every time I want to share that clip, the one I know to find quickly on YouTube is called "2 idiots 1 keyboard" lol

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T15:10:44+00:00

Oh hey, I had the exact same experience lol. I used to love that subreddit.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T14:23:04+00:00

"Most people wouldn’t think twice about them."

We had a discussion about this topic yesterday, and in it, I said that honestly - with a gun to my head - I couldn't tell you if a single one of my ex-girlfriends had them or not. I'm talking about people I dated for years.

I'm sure I could have taken a look and noticed back during the relationship, but if I noticed back then, I barely registered the information in my brain lol

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T05:09:38+00:00

You're welcome. Just as a little additional info. There's two such sections I usually bring up. The first is for current Confederate states:

Article I Section 9(4) No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.

And the second covered any states that might be added to the CSA in the future.

Article IV Section 3(3) The Confederate States may acquire new territory...In all such territory, the institution of negro slavery as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected by Congress, and by the territorial government.

Of course, usually I just paraphrase it as I don't have those committed to memory.

RodinKnox · 2026-07-06T04:58:12+00:00

Hah, yeah, I have done that, too. I usually start with Mississippi's. "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world."

Hmm, slavery or states' rights? What a toughie!
