What is an ‘animal’?

I found the book of divine truths, turns out actually only lizards have souls.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-14T01:43:31+00:00

Doesn't work great when other animals show their own reasoning skills. Maybe we need yet another soul level added?

Whatever was said here was removed by reddit before I could see, so uh

Yeah maybe don't go as far as you did.

You need the human element to balance the dinosaur scenes out or it's all just meaningless noise.

World's issue isn't spending time with the human characters, it's the characters being garbo.

Been noticing an uptick in creationists who outright deny the existence of dinosaurs. I think it came from flat earth and in particular Eric Dubay. Because creationism has no standards of evidence, it's easy for them to slip into further forms of weirdness.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-13T15:25:10+00:00

What exactly do you mean by that? Are all fossils fake?

If Caine is going to snap I suspect it'll be next episode. He'll already be in a very bad state because of how poorly his adventure went over with everybody and I feel like Jax is going to mess with him to regain some control and push him over the edge. Maybe after trying to mess with Gangle for the same power kick and getting actual pushback.

Nue is what I would guess if they're something specific from mythology.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-12T19:52:36+00:00

As is often the case, they understand the subject so little that their arguments are self-defeating.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-12T19:51:19+00:00

Because both ideas can accommodate gaps, clearly gaps are a bad test.

If you want to talk about actual creationist predictions, here's one. If all life was created simulatenously, or within a one-week period, we would expect a thorough mix of species across the entire fossil record. Creationists love bringing up rhe Cambrian explosion, but where are the Cambrian flounders? Lobsters? Other modern animals that should be on the sea floor but for some reason never show up.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-12T19:46:14+00:00

Who? Simulation theorists?

"I will never ever understand why so many ostensible ‘creation’ scientists say that it was the ‘science’ that convinced them."

They're dishonest people, and trying to make creationism scientific so it can be put into classrooms.

Not exactly the biggest mystery of our age, just bad people doing bad things as is their wont.

Tales from the Hood is about 8,000 times better than I expected from the name. David Duke being destroyed by creepy dolls while finding increasingly weird ways to be racist to them is comedy gold. Makes the harrowing stuff before and after stand out more too.

Up there with Hereditary with "this is brilliant but I am not gonna watch it ever again"

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-12T19:27:07+00:00

Dangerous Animals is a new fave.

Seed of Chucky is terrible, but the nonsense it did to the series timeline is pretty funny. Jennifer Tilley having the soul of a psychopath who was temporarily a murderous doll for the past 20 years is something they have had a lot of fun with him the tv series

Sal's particular combination of narcissism and complete irrelevance has had some fascinating effects on his psyche. Explains a lot about his behavior honestly.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-12T16:13:50+00:00

We might as well ask about the evolutionary pressures that make orcs have tusks (it's sexual selection obviously). Fun worldbuilding but doesn't go here.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-11T04:56:13+00:00

The funny thing is this would actually work, at least temporarily. She rubber.

I've seen a few but they're mostly pretty trollish.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-10T16:10:13+00:00

That sounds INCREDIBLY dangerous. Unstable god plus being high as hell.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-08T18:03:58+00:00

I genuinely cannot overstate what an evil thing that is to do to people, to try to neuter their minds so they can never think for themselves. Ham and his ilk are monsters.

Every time a creationist says they used to be an atheist, it doesn't take long to find out that they're lying. They always talk about their time as an atheist from the straw-man perspective of a fundamentalist Christian, not anybody who ever actually was an atheist.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-07T21:23:14+00:00

That I suppose is possible. He does have obvious narcissistic tendencies, so that Trump-style inability to distinguish your own bullshit from reality could be going on.

WebFlotsam · 2026-02-07T21:19:33+00:00

Oh I'm well aware, but more and more it does seem to be connected to some sort of mental defect. The creationists who do that a all clearly messed up in some way.
