Please please, also run to Canada, were closer by

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 2 points 13 minutes ago

I'm worried that if there's war you guys will be affected as well. Running further seems more reasonable.

I hope this is true, with the attacks on science in the US, we’re really looking at falling backward here. I’m afraid we’ll lose good weather forecasting and GPS services very soon, to just name the low hanging fruit.

If only there was something the American people could do about this.

But they’re holding signs up‽

That's how Americans exercise their 2nd amendment outside of their schools.

If you wear a pink shirt, it shows you're extra super serious.

They skipped the part where after the war we took the nazi scientists too...

But the old nazis were really into science, modern nazis not so much.

I don't think other countries are going to be chasing our science deniers like we chased rocket and medical scientists after the war.

You don’t think Europe wants our 19 year old whiz kids whose laptops overheat from processing excel files?

Well...hopefully they'll get chased. Just not for the same reasons.

1945-1959: Same as 1930s but the scientist guy is also a Nazi (and Hitler has a bullet hole lmao)

I'm an ignorant American, what's the significance of the bull/ox?

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 64 points 22 hours ago (8 children)

That woman on the bull is Europa (Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē), daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, lived about 2000 BCE. The bull is the shapeshifted Zeus that is kidnapping Europa. They had sex and sired Minos, king of Crete. Minos is the one who feed the Minotaur by sending children into its labyrinth.

Yeah Greek mythology is weird.

O Gabriel, now dawns thy reckoning, and thy gore shall GLISTEN before the temples of Man!

[–] alp@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 hours ago

Well that is a healthy family for sure

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago

The bull that fathered the Minotaur was not Zeus, it was a gift by Poseidon who expected king Minos to sacrifice the bull to Poseidon. The king kept the gift and sacrificed another bull, Poseidon got pissed and had the king's wife screw the bull, giving birth to the Minotaur.

You know, I watched that show Netflix canceled, with Jeff Goldblum, and so I'm like, hey, that's right! Sure, could've paid attention in school, but better Nate than lever.

[–] asqapro@reddthat.com 6 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Kaos is the show you’re thinking of.

The Longest Joke in the World is the Nate and lever reference (well worth the read).

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Thanks, for some reason I was thinking Cronos, I dunno.

And yeah, I remember reading that joke what feels like 20 years ago at this point, someone put it in the ebaums forums, took like 20 separate posts because of char limits, and I couldn't stop telling the joke to people after that, it's just too perfect.
