So that's what Revelations was getting at.

[Frumple]

suddenly i wonder what sort of sound a dong shaped gong would make

and, like

do you make it flat

or can you make a 3d donggong?

is it still a gong when it's an oddly shaped cylinder?

also like

when you're making it, do you make two to bang together or do you separate out the bait and the tackle and percuss with those

i have many questions on vulgar instrumentation now

[Eric Blank]

I think it would count as a bell at that point. You could make a vulva shaped "gong" to smack it into.

Could have clacker balls too though!

[King Zultan]

What about a singing bowl shaped like a vagina?


I wonder what it would sound like if you tried to play the singing vagina bowl with the donggong?

I wonder what it would sound like if you tried to play the singing vagina bowl with the donggong?

All we know is that it summons the police who then try to enforce something they call 'public decency'

[bloop_bleep]

So the part where Herod, King of Judea orders all infants in Bethlehem killed, that was an early commentary on natural selection among insect populations?

[Frumple]

Coulda' been! There's a few species of insect that preferentially kill the younger of other species, iircs, so, like. Someone getting a vision of a group of beings slaughtering the children of a population could totally be looking at an ant (or whatever) invasion and just... getting things very, very wrong when they say it's about humans.

Wonder what the bible would be like if everyone in it was bugs instead, and would people care as much about it if it was?

[scriver]

Aesop's Fables were a pretty big deal

[TD1]

Wonder what the bible would be like if everyone in it was bugs instead, and would people care as much about it if it was?

Almost certainly not. People are in religion for what they get out of it - feelings, community, material promises - even if they have genuine faith.

Take away the incentive and leave bare truth and people simply wouldn't care about it. Religion needs a human narrative promising human rewards. The Bible (Flyble?  ) would become a curiosity for entomologists, nothing more.

[delphonso]

The Flyble is God Woven! Passed to us through his prophets, like Mothses and Cicabraham and through his only begotten spawn: Fleasus.

[Il Palazzo]

If the Bible were for bugs, it'd mean bugs are (the one and only correct) God's chosen people. They would rule the Earth and all the animals on it. Formiciform forumites would ponder what the Bible would be like if it were for apes instead, and whether ants would care.

[TD1]

Let us not forget that in claiming the Promised Land, the Israelites cleared it of the Nephilim - a race of giant humanoids. But giant from whose perspective?!

How many humans were felled by the appendages of creepy crawlies?!?!?!?

[delphonso]

Angel descriptions actually make more sense if you're looking at something with compound eyes from your own compound eyes.

[Frumple]

I mean... you're aware of which side of that comparison has the biomass advantage, yeah? What feasts on the flesh of even more things than humans do, and in greater quantities? Ants don't need forums or theology to rule this world to their pleasure

'Course, going that route you can go even further; by mass bacteria and whatnot rule this planet functionally unopposed. Even us humans are nothing more than feeding grounds for them. You can say they don't have great philosophies and such, but they clearly have no need for them, so...
