I didn't get it, until i mumbled it out loud, and now i feel like an idiot for not getting it sooner :/

👍 If i can get someone else in on this, it would make an amusing workplace skit.

I learned a slightly different version of that chant on Usenet all the way back in the early 90s.

I for one, have been worshiping the old gods all along.

Ancient Egyptian dad jokes

That's a terrible dad joke. I giggle-snorted.

I've stopped worshipping several of the old gods, not just one. Mwahahaha. You can't stop me.

Do you want to go to the field of reeds after you die or do you want your heart eaten by a crocodile? Because I'm telling you, it won't be Aaru for you my friend. Not on that ferry.

It's fine, I've come to the understanding that capitalism > faith and that I can just bribe Charon with a coin instead to ferry me across.

Besides, I stopped worshipping the moksha type of old gods, not the aaru kind.

That just gets you across the Lady Styx, it doesn't guarantee your entrance to Hades.

Just like the old days of Rome -- you don't keep worshiping a god who doesn't make it worth your while. Hey, Jupiter -- what have you don for me lately?

Me: History is so old.

History: UR old.

Every time someone types 'ur' in text speech, for a split second, I think, "the city?"

Just Sumerian things
