Religions generally have some factor of control. "If I pray to Allah, I can influence my life." "If I meditate, I can achieve enlightenment." "If I cleanse my karma, I can be released from reincarnation."

Centering a religion around random chance kind of goes against that, except in the sense if you're trying to turn randomness into non-randomness. At which point you're just praying to a god, and the religion is just another deity.

Closest I can think of is Discordian.

The arrangement of those videos is very strange.

So what Caroline is looking for is Atheism.

Mild WTF: I tried looking for one, but I was not able to find a religion centered around luck or chance.

I found a couple of joke prayers for the RNG, a couple of guilds, some gods of luck that were part of a larger pantheon.

But no actual organized religions centered around the worship of chance, fortune, RNG or similar. You know, it wouldn't really be that hard. I mean, most people already have little rituals around luck (blowing on dice and similar) and often plead to some higher force when they have to take a chance,  even if they don't believe in anything. I honestly thought there'd be at least one by now.

...On the plus side, I have an idea for what to do today~

Try a few sects around minor gods in one of those religions with huge pantheons. Fortuna, for example, had a nice cult, like most Greek gods. Hinduism seems a bit less useful on this matter, surprisingly, but you could try sniffing around the Aztecs, Egyptians, Norse mythology, and just using sects.

What is sockpuppeting?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It's where you treat everybody as if they're too stupid to understand you and talk really condescendingly, like if you were using a sockpuppet. Strictly forbidden.

Using another account for purposes like poll stacking or pretending to be another, sympathetic person in an argument

[IcyTea31]

I thought it meant using another account to post in your thread to make it look like someone agrees with you?

IT'S A MEME NOW.

Imagine how much better everything would be if Winged Hussars just randomly arrived all the time.

[ChairmanPoo]

Who was the guy? Never interacted with him that I remember. His last couple of posts were kinda paranoidish?

[Tack]

I think MSH was trolling.
But like 8/10 not going to sockpuppet nobody.

[Flying Dice]

Actually it's a vulgar act where you force someone to speak as you instruct them by shoving your arm- er, on second thought, let's not clarify that.

IT'S A MEME NOW.

It's the meme we wanted, deserved, and needed.

A guy over here in the Netherlands tried to kill himself by driving his car into a gas station at high speed. The pump he crashed into burst into a fireball, the gas station store collapsed after burning out, and the station roof crushed two cars, but the guy was unharmed save for a fracture to his elbow. No one else was injured.

Even though the gas station is considered lost, having completely burned out, the shopkeeper prevented worse by immediatly pressing the emergency valve shutdown for the underground fuel tanks.

Comitting suicide by car becomes harder and harder, with mandatory airbags and start-interruption software that detects unfastened seatbelts.

The man has been taken into custody by the police and taken to hospital. He will be charged with attempted manslaughter and arson.
