The 4D salmon: what's an outside?

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 34 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Ok im sold, how do build my life around this mystical thing?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

Sorry, we only worship crabs here. This here's a crab town.

Jesus was symbolized as a fish. If he does 'return' it's easy to imagine the way he does.

Take any body, name it correctly, and then you can have it travel back in time just like skyrim represents. Literature. Time almost warps to humans when we apply meaning. It is why the bible enthralls people. The body cannot return, but the mind can.

Great things to be unburied, but it is quagmire. Hence, the constant vitriol spilled forth.

It just needs a story. What stories have salmon?

Grizzly eats a salmon. Maybe that's the basis of our creation myth. Is the grizzly bear an antagonist?

No, it's an impersonal force. Our mythos rejects dualism; we have a time travel fish. The bear represents something else, like circumstance or cupidity.

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The 5D Grizzly bear is fishing in the stream of time. The 4D salmon is doing its migration from the end of time to the beginning.

5D grizzly! Now we're cooking, fuck yes

Are you built like a cult leader? How would you like a job.

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

no im more of a mindless follower

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I thought the beard was the only important part. What does built like a cult leader mean?

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

There will come a time when the distribution of 4D salmon will take the universe to equilibrium of mass. That is what will cause the universe to collapse into a big bang. The roe will cause uneven distribution pushing gravity to create stellar structures until equilibrium is once again reached. This is not a series of season but a continuum of spawning. We can only have faith in the now. Our purpose is null. In our insignificance we can choose our values. We can also not choose because whatever we are or were is not always true. The self is fleeting. Only the 4D salmon are true in theirselves.

Sounds like something from hitchhikers guide

[–] dzsimbo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

With the salmon part, a bit, otherwise Hyperion. The Shrike is one of my favorite villains.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Is the shrike a villain though? Just let it have its murder sex...

[–] dzsimbo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

You are right, I am projecting my 20th century values.

The Shrike is a force of nature that makes me pee myself just the teensiest bit.

[–] Yaenntz@fedia.io 3 points 6 days ago

My first thought was, that could be an Doctor Who ep. But yeah, Hitchhiker's suits better!

reading through your old notes can be a wild ride sometimes lmao

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I just read through a little notebook that I keep by my computer to write down thoughts, lists, things to remember, etc. every now and then and came across this nugget:

Hermano = brother

therefore

"Herman" = "bro"?

also,

heavy metal band name: Dark Pontifex

Is OP the ghost of Douglas Adams?

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

All salmonds are four-dimensionnal

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why did I mentally read that as "almonds" with an s at the front?

I guess those words are forming a sentence or more

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Xeelee Sequence is basically that

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

The only appropriate reaction for this I have right now is "Bruh".

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

And the salmon is called sammy.

Puh ka puh ka
