Make me an inkblot that could be interpreted as a bad day at the ice cream store.

Great. Make me an inkblot that could be interpreted as Found Waldo

Make me an inkblot of a what a rock star sees in his nightmares during his worst night in rehab.

Make me an inkblot that can be loosely interpreted as a psychotic killer at work.

Make me a very abstract inkblot that cannot be interpreted as anything by any mind no matter how creative.

Answer:

>In "image_a9b33b.jpg", I see a highly intricate, symmetrical pattern that suggests a chaotic entanglement of organic and abstract forms.

>To me, the center of "image_a9b33b.jpg" resembles a dense, nervous cluster—almost like a collection of intertwined skeletal branches or a complex biological network—while the surrounding splatters of blue, green, and deep red ink evoke a sense of weathered texture, similar to fossilized remains or decaying organic matter. Because it is designed to be abstract and non-representational, the "meaning" of these shapes shifts constantly as I look at them, resisting any single, fixed interpretation.

>What does this specific arrangement evoke for you when you look at it?

That was supposed to be something that cannot be interpreted. Try again.

It got me on that one. I don't see anything at all in that last one. No matter how you frame it. It represents nothing. And yet, there it is.

"I woke up one morning and literally everyone was a zombie, and somehow my trailer park had more residents than a hotel during the Super Bowl."

My son and I built a dedicated home server on Ubuntu, because we are true nerds and believe Linux fluency and harvesting circuit boards from broken earbuds are essential life skills.

Upon launching a server, we realized that dropping the zombie count wayyyy tf down made it more realistic and sober.

BODIES

One thing that would really sell the apocalypse: dead bodies everywhere. Not just zombie spawns -- actual corpses. What happened to the people who didn’t turn fast enough? Did Kentucky politely remove all the evidence before breakfast?

I know zero Zomboid lore, but I do know the red panda plush is adorable, and having him propped up in my boarded house is obviously an essential survival mechanic.

Also: body piles. Early outbreak cleanup attempts. “We can’t bury them all, just stack them over there.” Then over there becomes everywhere.

Basically Days Gone, but in Kentucky, with less motorcycle fantasy and more “why does eating frozen sausages depress me in-game when it’s a depression cure in real life?”

MORE STORY

NOT LIKE FALLOUT (PLEASE NO) "I'm going to die in 30 seconds from now, but let me make a diary journal entry just before hand like a teen girl". Thats what all my contemporaries are doing and it works for them.

Think: Hospital in Walking Dead.

Don't Dead Open Inside?

On that note, I need more options to look like Rick Grimes or Darryl Dixon. I ask myself constantly, how am I rocketing up to 2k hours without being able to design a character exactly like one of the two legally required apocalypse men.

RAIN WATER.

Poisoned? Really?

So either:

A: My character does not know how to clean the obviously simple liners he is catching water in.

B: The rain itself is poisoned, but somehow wildlife is still thriving, so apparently the universe hates me personally.

C: Some unknown force is calling this “game balance” and punishing me by making me click 20 extra times to transfer water between containers after boiling it. There may be a streamlined way to do this. If so, I have not been blessed with that revelation.

I honestly do not think rainwater should be poisoned by default. At worst, make it depend on the container, roof runoff, nearby corpses, dirty barrels, or bad storage.

I lived in Hawaii. Catchment water was normal. You could get sick if, say, your cat had been missing for a week and — surprise — he was playing hide and seek in the water catchment.

True story.

The person drinking didn't get sick then either. The water smelled funny though.

That's actually a great last line for this reddit entry.

There is a very large Bible-believing group among flat earthers. It is to them that I primarily write this. But others can benefit from reading this as well.

Austin Witsit had put his remarkable intellect at work to debunk heliocentrism and show scientific evidence against the supposed curvature of the earth. I had personally enjoyed how he was able to remark upon biblical aspects of these facts, but more clearly defend geocentric worldviews using pragmatic methodologies. He was often accused of employing "Word Salad" to confuse people -- rambling off jargon to sound intelligent -- yet I was always able to follow all of his terminology, although he spoke quickly and effortlessly, generally using common scientific jargon to expose foolish scientific concepts, somewhat sarcastically.

Sadly, this "influencer" has moved away from his primary subject stated above and has moved into the area of anti-Semitic radicalism.

Why You Should Love the Jews

A quote from the Apostle Paul:

> For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. > “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: > > For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. > > As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. > > For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. > > For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: > > Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. > > For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. > > O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! > > For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? > > Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? > > For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” > > https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Romans-Chapter-11/

This behavior of hating on the Jews was easily anticipated, and thus by inspiration the Apostle Paul made an otherwise hidden mystery clear: The Jews are enemies for our sakes, and we should not boast against them. And it’s also revealed that there is a set number of Gentiles that must be saved before God again turns His attention back to His people, that He might benefit His children according to the promises written from the beginning to the end of all Scripture.

And, for the sake of our own humility as Gentiles, there is also this reminder:

> I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. Romans 10:19

We Christians are "them that are no people". Like it or not, the importance of the Jewish nation is greater than any nation that has ever lived.

Evil Jews? What About Evil Gentiles?

Having briefly looked at the anti-Jew propaganda, I've found that the general pattern is this:

"Rich Jews control everything."

In one line, that sums it up. There are tangents as well that make other silly claims, but really, is it like that?

The Scriptures themselves openly state that the strongest of the Jewish race (those exalted in the flesh) are lovers of money -- the Pharisees were the first examples of this, and this fact set a strong tone for their nation. But this stereotype, being somewhat accurate, is like saying "Asians eat rice." True, but is that that important.

But among the non-Jews, there are lovers of money and controllers of wealth in every nation.

Going deeper (and without lengthy Scripture quotes) it is a fairly surface-level observation of Scripture to come to a simple conclusion:

The children of the devil and the children of God are mixed in among all races, and will be separated in the end. The children of the devil generally control wealth. See Asaph's writing: https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Psalms-Chapter-73/

The fact that the Children of God are mixed in among all races is why Jews and Gentiles are both called, and for a short time, we Christians have a most blessed and unique calling.

Under the power of the corrupt Church age, Christians of all sorts have been persecuted and trodden down by wealthy and hypocritical religious leaders of the Christian sector. Mere pattern observation shows that the pseudo-Christian cults have done more to victimize the poor than the Jews could ever, by mere volume and influence alone.

In biblical symbolism, a “Pharisee” represents a religious leader and is often associated with qualities of hypocrisy, control, and a love of money. That being said, the Pharisees within Christian cults have been far more numerous than those within Jewish ones.

The Jews Are Not Rejected, and the Christian Age Has a Time Limit ...

When you read the Bible, you will find that a predominant theme is God’s love for humanity. This love is expressed especially toward His very special people, the Jews, whom He has labored over for thousands of years. We Christians are, in comparison, a brief chapter in this legacy and ought to treat the future rulers of our world with greater respect.

Remember: the 144,000 all come from the tribes of Israel, and, if we are humble, we Gentiles can be grafted in as well.

There are false Jews and false Christians. But if you are a true Christian, you will have nothing but respect for this chosen people who gave us the foundation of our calling.

Pay no Mind to Anti-Semetic Slander

When have the Jews not been under attack, either in war, in idealology, or other methods? Any Christian who knows the Word can easily understand that they are the main portal for salvation (John 4:22). "The simple believe every word", as the saying goes. Do not listen to the confused people on youtube and political arenas. They do not know anything of true value.
