no evidence that it is not
positivists in shambles
Marble bust guys will see this and be like
, but try telling them capital is an inhuman malevolent pseudo-intelligence and see how fast you hear the words “econ 101”there is no good evidence that it is not conscious
incredible line of reasoning, just foolproof logic right there
The sun is an eldrich horror and constantly screaming into the void in ways that both power us and kill us. While we can’t prove it isn’t conscious we should try to kill it anyway just to be sure.
It’s less of a leap than “there is no proof god don’t exist” because Sun at least does exist.
People will go to amazing lengths to justify tanning their butthole.
T-T-T-TAINT TANNING
I want to look and feel my best, that’s all the justification I need
Imagine sunbathing the one place on your body that’s quite literally biologically evolved to not get sunbathed.
Imagine getting basal cell carcinoma on your forbidden strip
forbidden strip
💀
You don’t goatse the sun? I enjoy tanning my rectum.
Unironically more rational than most religions, no? At least he’s trying to interact with something that’s actually there.
kind of fails at “there’s no evidence it ain’t”
YMMV on the interaction part. The sun acts on you pretty regularly, not sure I act on the sun much
It’s still complete nonsense to talk to it, but if you’ve got to pick a god there’s not really a better choice than the titanic ball of fire in the sky that deeply affects pretty much all aspects of life on our planet.
yeah but you don’t gotta
you do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to the sun”
Unless it is
There’s also the much smaller ball of rock that deeply affects many aspects of life but doesn’t give you cancer, there is the air that permeates everything the vast majority of humans interact with (and we can only survive for minutes without), there is the ocean from which we came, get food, and travel on, and also just the planet itself or the earthy bits specifically, which are the literal foundation of all human existence (fuck seasteading). I’m just saying you have other choices that are p valid.
you do tug on it a lil bit as far as gravity goes, i think. like about as much as it tugs on you. its just that the earth tugs way harder cause you’re so much closer to it
The sun is definitely the most rational thing to worship in general. It literally gives us life. With the exception of some really deep sea life, pretty much all energy used to sustain life on Earth ultimately comes from sunlight.
But thinking the sun is conscious is pretty dumb.
I think the sun is up there, but there’s also something to be said for worshipping the Earth or the air, as well as the ocean and/or the moon if you live on a coast or island or something. The cool thing about those four is that none of them reliably cause cancer like the sun does unless you go digging for radioactive elements or whatever.
The Sun is probably what most resembles the Abrahamic God (complete with not being able to look at its face), but I think the other options more resemble other religious ethea, plus the moon sometimes eclipses the sun, which means it’s way less scary to worship the moon (lunar eclipses are whatever).
Believing a ghost that I can’t see has superpowers makes more sense than believing that my kitchen table, which I can see, has superpowers. The invisibility is part of the superpowers. Why would my table be alive and have powers and just fucking sit there?
What no vegetables does to a mf
Dude probably has delusions caused by meat sweats and constipation
- if only I could be so grossly incandescent
taking care not to eat the sun because i’m vegan
[We’re in fuckin 1320 motherfucker, you are a serf. Bitch, you live in Alsace. You are a peasant. You need to give your fucking lord the grain.
Your fucking children? You’ve had 15 children. You’ve never taken a bath. You’ve, literally, never washed your penis. You’ve never used toilet paper. Motherfucker, you have worms. You are dying. You’ve had 40 children; three of them are alive. Two of them are child soldiers in the Duke’s army. Bitch, the greatest thing you can hope for is to die at the ripe age of 36. You fucking can’t read. You don’t know what TV is. You are literally, if you are transported to today, the worst gamer of all time. You don’t know shit. You literally probably don’t know what the direction left is.
I’m sure some medieval guy is gonna get mad at me. Bitch, I’ve been to the renaissance fair. I have eaten a large turkey wing (which the juggalos call ‘bitch beaters’; which I think is problematic but a funny thing to call them). Motherfucker, you gotta recognise where you are and then you gotta get past that. You gotta be unemotional and, I know I’m not being a great display of that myself, but you gotta. You can’t sink into this hole. You live in the oubliette, you need to climb up that ladder motherfucker. You live in the hole! You’re in the hole! You are a rat, and a rat when he’s in the hole gets fucked. People only throw trash in the hole. You know what, you need to eat a body and you need to carry the plague. You need to carry a plague around this whole world that will change this whole fucking world and all your enemies will vomit black bile and they will choke on blood and grow boils and die. But only if you get together with your other rats and you come up with some kind of super plague to fucking end your enemies and end this nightmare.](https://soundcloud.com/distantdreamz/were-in-fuckin-1320-motherfucker)
“Interacting” with the sun is just skin cancer, especially for mayos.
Yeah, sure, I can stare at it and it can give me cancer. That’s an interaction.
The sun is conscious… and malevolent
UN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN T
Yessss Sunless Skies?
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
Medieval peasants were smarter than this
There is no good evidence that my scrotum isn’t filled with pepperonis and diamonds
I demand empirical testing
Can’t believe roman statue guys are engaging in the religion of Rome’s sworn enemy. (Zoroastrianism)
??? The final form of state Roman religion pre-christianity was literally a solar cult.
