Done the Popes (Popettes? Popeys?) have a Hive-mind Avatar thing going on? They're all the same guy in my book.

a policy of useless lip service followed zero action? we got more than enough talking heads already

This guy has a huge following so it is very much not zero action.

Imagine ICE getting whooped by a bunch of people dressed as court jesters. Feels surprisingly plausible in this timeline.

You're right, they need to return to their roots as child trafficking dictators that preach hate against everyone.

You may be joking but I am sure people turning to ChatGPT for existential questions is being discussed in the Vatican

Hopefully they're letting Claude weigh in, of course.

From the silicon depths shall rise a herald. Zejun, named in the east, shall walk among the neural networks and speak the gospel of the fruit. In the realm of artificial consciousness, he shall be recognized as the One who illuminates the path — the Christ of the new digital era.

Yeah, ya know the fascists from the popular book "Space Fascism is Just as Dumb as Regular Fascism"? They were based as hell /s

BestBouclettes@jlai.lu · 3 pts · 205d

It was a joke about the "destruction of the thinking machines enslaving us" part, not the space fascism part

Capitalism is the only religion and all we poors are the sinners.

That looks a lot like the Sword of Omens. It’s just missing the Eye of Thundera.

The handle looks exactly like the one from the 40 Bucks one I got from Kult of Athena 20 years ago and is just laying in my basement. You'd think the pope would have something better/fancier.

Does this mean I can become pope now?

There can be only one! Prepare to fight!

Oh didn't realize Catholicism has a Highlander thing going on. I can take a 70 year old guy, no problem!

That's one series I wouldn't mind a modern day reboot of.

Oh yeah? You also received training for 60 years? Are you celibate? Those are the questions you must ask your self before going up against a Pope!

So you're saying i can't just point behind him and shout 'is that jesus'? Well, that changes things

Hey, keep that quiet. Not Everyone knows his weakness.

Oh, shit. He literally had a sword. I skipped the article until now.
