Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Looking for recommendations for a conversation style podcast
1·22 days agoI listen to the Omnibus with Ken Jennings and John Roderick. They just chat for the most part, but the topics are obscure pieces of history and information, like deep dives on trivia.
Yes, 'twas a joke.
And there’s the beauty: it does both!
“Approximate chemical formula”
Probably one just making a joke. If you look up, you’ll see it flying way above your head.
Not anymore, one back got blown out.
That may be a righteous conviction, but it doesn’t make the document “history” by virtue of no one knowing the events of prehistoric times of, say, Genesis. For instance, would you consider the Iliad or the Odyssey to be history? They have vast historical and cultural importance, but the stories as read do not provide a factual history of events as we understand them.
I’m just trying to convey why people people disagree with you and what position you are hopefully trying to take is they contain historic importance but do not themselves contain a “history” any more than other religious texts or even an X-men comic may.
If I’m understanding your position, I think a better way to word your answer may have been “as an historic text to provide context for religious beliefs”. “History” comes with the implication that it is truthful to events in the past, not that it was just “written before right now, even if it’s fiction”.

19·1 month agoWow. This is my hometown, and I’m proud they are willing to stand their ground. The librarian in the children section that I used to frequent was wonderful, but I’m sure she passed away a while ago.
If you don’t stop chopping, you’ll take some buckshot to the knees.
I think it generally goes “my dick may be only 6 inches but it smells like a foot”. To establish the measurement units.

politics @lemmy.world•Joe Rogan criticizes ICE tactics: 'Are we really going to be the Gestapo?'
2·2 months agoYeah to me that is shitty to do. I don’t think he’s right on hardly anything, even if he is irrelevant to the rest of my life.

1·2 months agoAre you implying that the “right” thing to do was have Trump on and cancel Kamala’s appearance? I’m confused by this.





Why is it distasteful? They are indeed an example of an inbred family, albeit not from Texas.
