My world bears flame! Does yours do the same?
I’m in agreement with the situation, and it will never cease to amuse me.

Maybe this is how the bible was written, rewritten and evolved over time.
It just started out as some young obnoxious guy with a lute making mad music in ancient Mesopotamia. Everyone panned his music, then after he died, someone translated it to a new language, a few hundred years go by and it got translated again, then a few hundred years went by and it got translated again and after the fourth translation, we end up with the first book of Genesis.

Nope. But it is sometimes in how it is interpreted, and translated.
We have biblical manuscripts that date back past 100 BC. Can’t rewrite something which we have original manuscripts of.

You say that as if there wasn’t plenty of time before 100 BC for the stories to evolve.

Hmmmmmm, well that certainly tracks with human behavior. Kind of like how there was a meme that the earth was flat. Nobody actually BELIEVED it. It was just a funny joke to explain why sailors would come in, and then sail off, and you’d never see that sailor again.
So, ha ha, funny meme, earth is flat.
Then hundreds of years later, people discovered that people “used to believe the earth was flat”. Wow. What stupid people those guys were hundreds of years ago, huh?
Then it gets discovered nobody ACTUALLY believed that…but they do NOW. You know. Currently. AFTER we’ve been to space, and photographed the planet while not currently being on said planet. Only AFTER space travel did people revisit the earth being flat, and seriously unironically believe that.
So I can’t believe ANY of the bullshit IN the bible. But I can totally believe it began as a meme, got out of control, and now it’s just “fact” to some people.
…and by “some people” I mean gullible morons.

Threw it into some shitty online ai translator since google translate doesn’t support aramaic and used the same one to translate it back. Here’s what it spit out (no formatting because fuck you I don’t want to)
Once someone told me, the world is destined to turn, I am not wise in stone tools. She appeared foolish, with her finger pointing to a ‘L’ on her forehead. Yet the years begin to come and do not halt, consumed by rules while I run from the land. It makes no sense to live in pleasure, how can a wise man emerge when your head is in folly? There is so much to do, so much to see; what is wrong with traveling inner paths? You won’t know if you don’t go, you won’t shine if you don’t take care. Be now, you are a star. Sit in your game, go play. Be now, you are a rock star. Bring the show, receive a reward. All that glistens is gold, only falling stars shatter the form. It is a fine place, and they say it will cool down; you are now wrapped, wait until you mature. But the mighty meteors think otherwise, according to the hole in the dualistic picture. The ice we slide on is very thin, the waters are enclosing and you must swim. My world is on fire; what about you? Thus, I love it and do not tire. Be now, you are a star. Sit in your game, go play. Be now, you are a rock star. Bring the show, receive a reward. All that glistens is gold, only falling stars shatter the form. (Go to the moon, go, go) (Go to the moon, go, go) (Go to the moon) (Go, go, go to the moon). Be now, you are a star. Sit in your game, go play. Be now, you are a rock star. Bring the show, receive a reward. And all that glistens is gold, only falling stars; someone once asked, ‘Can you leave me a bit of coal? I need to escape this place.’ I said, ‘Yes, what an idea, I need a bit of fuel.’ And we all need a little change. So, the years begin to come and do not stop, consumed by rules while I run from the land. It makes no sense to live in pleasure, how can a wise man emerge when your head is in folly? There is so much to do, so much to see; what is wrong with traveling inner paths? You won’t know if you don’t go (go!) you won’t shine if not…

It doesn’t tell me to go acquire wages so it’s arguably even better!
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
So I guess the least thing changed since then is how much we care about things shining and glowing, both physically and metaphorically.

Sounds like something Dr Weird would say if he ever had an evil plan that involved reciting poetry.

Fakeness aside, I like this part and feel like I need it on a poster or something:

Appallingly good translation there

Bunnylux@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Also why are people falling for this lol it’s actually kind of racist, like, look how archaic the Arabic language is! Like… No? A regular translation would just yield regular language… And then… Regular modern vernacular when translated back… people be fuckin stupid.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
>thinks Aramaic is the same as Arabic
I hate it when I accidentally do a racism when accusing others of doing racism
Bunnylux@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Ah, I read incorrectly my mistake. Still fake as fuck tho.
krashmo@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Aramaic is an ancient language used by some Middle Eastern cultures which reached its peak usage during the height of the Roman Empire. It is not the modern Arabic language.

Look man. I’m pretty sure everybody already knew this going in. It’s like going to a pro wrestling show, and proudly declairing it to be a fake sham of a specticle.
We all just want to see 20 midgets attack a bullfighter waving a red flag, while we eat nachos and drink beers.
Let us have our fun, alright?
I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 4 months ago
No, fuck right off. That BS attitude is a big part of what killed reddit. Fake shit that tries to pass itself off as real is lame as fuck and insulting. With pro wrestling or plays or movies, you go in expecting it to be fake. It doesn’t really matter if the wrestlers don’t have any beef, you still get to see 20 midgets attacking a bullfighter. The lie is just the set up, not the main event. But shit like this post? The lie is the entire thing. Take it away and you just have someone’s shitty, unclever, poetry that isn’t interesting or funny enough to stand on its own.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Yeah remember the “disregard wenches, acquire currency” meme? It’s just that.
Psythik@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That meme always drive me crazy because “fuck bitches, get money” should be translated to “copulate with women, acquire currency”, not “disregard women”.
dkt@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
I assume this was translated by a human both ways, not machine translated. It’s plausible in that case
