What if we originated on Venus? Then came to Earth as our ancestors messed up that planet. And we came here so we wouldn't make the same mistake again? What if we are aliens that have the capability to know enough about science to be dangerous to the planets in the universe? Maybe reincarnation is simply finding a new planet to start over on, so that one day we can become decent enough to keep a planet going? /s

I feel like people didn't catch the /s at the end of your shitpost

It would make for a pretty cool setting for a story though. Set in the near future, first crewed missions to Venus find petroglyphs recording the last days of their ancestors

It's a surprisingly common scifi trope.

Then why the fuck out a /s at the end when it isn't sarcasm

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev -5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

It is by definition not sarcasm. So it doesn't need a /s

Sarcasm usually involves saying the opposite of what you really mean. But it's hard to infer from text so you add the /s so people don't downvote because they think you are serious.

I.e. the OC is soo sarcastic /s or Trump is a once in a generation genius!! /s

I don't think you've quite understood '/s'. The author was not serious with his post and indicated this fact with '/s'. By definition it is sarcasm as that's what the author defined it as.

the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

No.

Well if we truly are planet destroying devils, I'm fairy certain God will send his holy light missiles to cleanse the planet as he did with Mars.

I believe there's a documentary on this very idea called Devilman Crybaby

I've watch and read various version of Devilman, I enjoyed the series... But I could never remember the main plot or story, only the memes stuck to my brain.

MAJOR SPOILERS

At the end he fights Satan for an endless eternity, using a diminishing supply of other willing demons as spare body parts as he wears all his limbs out.

The shocks of their battle cause irreparable damage to Earth, and the last of humanity to perish with it.

At the end, he lies limbless, dead or comatose next to Satan on the moon, who asks him almost child-like for closure.

White glowing meteorites presumably sent from God crash into the Earth, wiping all demonic (and presumably all) life from it, similar to the book of revelations

Ah yeah, thanks for jogging my goldfish memory. Pretty wild ending, no wonder my brain interpret it as wild fever dream.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

It was one of the biggest plot escalations I'd ever seen, and it just got objectively worse and worse. That last episode left me severely depressed.

We just need spren to control our surgebinding and will be fine.
