A pandemic is an epidemic (rapidly spreading disease/virus) that's spread to multiple countries, meaning a pandemic can be caused by any infectious thing that spreads its shit. Plague is just sickness caused by a bacteria called yersinia pestis!
Edit: to add to the plague thing - we call pandemics plagues because of the fun times in medieval Europe when the plague caused a pandemic

What it the unholy bastardized oxford comma is that?
That's like pronouncing "GIF" as "YIFF"

Also makes me curious, is there actually a difference between a plague and a pandemic or is it just the old word for it.

Very enlightening, thank you!

Plague is not just referring to pestilence.
It can also refer to a pandemic of another disease, or also biblical swarms of locusts destroying the harvest.

Hello Satan. I also do orgies and metal bands, and am free this evening.

Where you been bud? Plagues and floods been pretty popular. Metal bands seem scarce these days and I haven't been invited to an orgie in quite awhile.

I'm jealous of how much you've to discover if you think metal bands are scarce.

If you used to get invited to orgies at some point, but now you're not getting the invites.....it may not be the orgies that have stopped....

I thought open source is communist not satanist?
Saw an awareness post about it just the other week
iAvicenna@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
and who's the guy at the back?
No_Change_Just_Money@feddit.de · 6 pts · 2y
This is just how communists look.
They have long nails and red skin because they lack access to capitalist wonders such as nail clippers and sunscreen

Satan seems like a nice guy. Unfortunately, being associated with god is his only downside 😞
