Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

I assume this is fine for the rules since punching Nazis is kinda the whole gist of 196. Also there's no real rules to follow πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

First thoughts: The Antichrist looks like Draco Malfoy if he were the son of the billiards man from Homestuck.

I'm not religious and so do not believe in any prophesies at this time, but I don't think covid fulfills "…and many people died from the waters that had become bitter." (Revelation 8:10) The water part seems pretty specific, so it's something yet to come, and potentially much worse than covid, so that'll be fun.

The author seems to be stretching things a bit in quite a few places, but it was an interesting read regardless. Maybe Trump will check even more of the boxes in the coming years. Is he doing this on purpose?

e: Realized I hadn't looked up the quoted verse. There's supposed to be a star that falls, and that's what corrupts the waters. Good example of what I mean about the author stretching things.

There's supposed to be a star that falls, and that's what corrupts the waters.

Sounds an awful lot like a layman's interpretation of a nuclear strike followed by deaths due to radiation poisoning.

It hasn't happened yet - to Americans - but it's definitely not off the table.
