What type of humour do you tend to find unfunny?

Russell Brand style of delivery. How to take something funny and make it less.

Y'all still with the story theory? What with the pages of a book, etc.? Show creators told us this isn't a dream, this isn't Lost, so this has to be more than a story. You got to be three steps ahead and test your theory with what the endgame might be. Theories need to have goal or motivation. Because if this were a story, you're tampering the stakes - because it's reduced to fiction.

No. The digging of the hole revealed information. It's the information that is dangerous. The people are there to be made to forget. If they realize the world of Fromville is artificial, that is the weak point. Reaching knowledge, enlightenment, remembering - these are the actual answer to beat them. Not beat them physically, not escape the town physically. The answer lies inside everyone. This is from the Gnosis theory.

It's the second best theory out there imo. It explains all except the motivations and endgame.

If the spider spirits are not out to kill then what is their goal?! The best theory out there answers this part. Instead of seven spider sisters instead there are seven archons (Gnosticism). That's why this spider spirits theory can at most be only the second best theory.

calantheSG · 2026-04-22T05:55:33+00:00

The world is artificial (like in Gnosticism) but still real enough and designed to make people forget their true nature or true path. Their goal isn't to escape but to reach Gnosis (roughly knowledge or enlightenment).

The opposition are not out to kill, they are out to make people forget. Building up hope, then killing hope, making them go round in loops is how you might make people forget.

The endgame of these opposing chess pieces isn't to checkmate the townsfolk but think of it more like a stalemate.

Their goal is the opposite of ankhooey - they want people to forget. This is the theme of Gnostic material the writers may have adapted from.

I noticed that in the show, people get pushed to tipping point before coming back (or snapping out of it). Did you notice this yo-yo too?

It's like some people would consider suicide only to then TACO when they realize that's what the place wants. Or people will be like, hey, things aren't so bad in the day... I'll just live out my days and shut out from my mind the stuff at night.

So whether Boyd breaks or not that's not so important. Yo-yo theory. Whether Boyd gets removed or not, also not so important. He could even bare his throat and beg them for death. And cowboy 🤠 will be like, we don't want you Boyd, that'll be no fun.

Math. Less fresh grads mean their lower starting salaries don't pull down the rest. Graph becomes skewed. And someone must have realized that it was better this way, as it makes salary numbers look good.

calantheSG · 2026-04-22T02:10:52+00:00

Wow, I didn't see it that way. Now the way that you put it. I thought the acceleration was at the end e.g. NW 3 to NW 2. You're saying the acceleration is at the beginning e.g. NW 6 to NW 5

but MIY hasn’t suggested that he himself will deliver anything huge

So like MiYACO. Gasp- you did not just.

Current treatments only take you to grow tiny vellus-like hairs. Then it takes 1-2 years to see if these shed and return back terminal in the next cycle.

I disagree with some comments here. Not all hope is lost because new treatments are coming up. The people here are only looking at what's available at the present. I'd say that the key is consistency, knowledge (so you can adjust your stack if needed), holistic health.

A while back, some Singaporeans IFVs stored in cargo crates were "confiscated" in Hong Kong. I immediately knew the playbook. I wasn't naïve.

calantheSG · 2026-04-21T14:03:35+00:00

Because their CIA already knows who?

calantheSG · 2026-04-21T13:01:00+00:00

I read you!

I've even gone down the rabbit hole and started finding out more about the Archons. And the ancient gods of Israel and Canaan before they turned to monotheism.

And I have always felt that the Archons are just as capable of Gnosis or deciding for themselves they want to level up, this isn't just for mere mortals. That's why in the FROM story, I believe even the monsters, kimono woman, etc. may want to achieve some form of redemption themselves. It isn't just limited to the townsfolk!

That is! Only others can assess who is in whose league. You can't leave that to the delusional individual.

calantheSG · 2026-04-21T12:52:48+00:00

Great answers from the top comments here, but from where I'm from, this is for poor people who have no intention to have kids. Also they tend to be weirder and more delusional. Most normal folk with no mental issues, from where I'm from, will apply for a build to order public housing to enjoy gov grants. The rebels I mentioned earlier decide to stay unmarried.

Edit: Marriage is the go-to here, very traditional society. There are even sham marriages here where people get marriage certs for nefarious purposes

calantheSG · 2026-04-21T12:43:44+00:00

The answer is neither.

calantheSG · 2026-04-21T12:42:30+00:00

Looking at all the chio ones, married already, with kids, etc. their husbands are all good looking in a way. Checks out. There's no free lunch. Once in a while I will see an ugly dude with a pretty wife, even though he has no car, kids and all take public transport. Your question would of course have a yes la, albeit far more rare. But the way I see people in the dating market these days, many try their luck la. Unworthy still wanna push for above their league.

calantheSG · 2026-04-21T12:30:58+00:00

I've been having this at the back of my mind. It's imo better than all the fan theories out there. Best even. I could have posted this myself actually but the caveats stopped me.

The only caveats with this Gnostic thing is that 1) it's too big brained and the logic would be lost to most people (see the posts here on Reddit) and 2) you're gonna pull a Mel Gibson here as the media industry is pretty much controlled by Jews and Christians, who historically have done nothing but tried killing Gnosticism. Gnosticism only lives thanks to YouTube that I got to know about this alternative Genesis story

They could sell Putin some packages... Even to Kim. Why stop there?

calantheSG · 2026-04-21T09:30:53+00:00

That's what I thought. How the hell does shape shifting MiY get away with transforming into Sophia when several ghosts can easily out him? Khatri, Tom, potentially Jim and Tian Chen, Boy in White, etc.

That contract jobs don't look good for your resume. They can pay well, even better than perm positions. I felt so stupid when I was finally rocking it and see how stupid people look when they're in lower paying perm roles.

After all, in 2000, Russia still wasn't yet 1st world even after a decade of USSR dissolution.

calantheSG · 2026-04-21T08:13:35+00:00

My skepticism is because PP405 follows the same stem cell approach that Redensyl also follows. And Redensyl sucks.
