Smash, next question

[@daeseongkim93]

In an animated documentary series from the late 20th century, we've only captured fragments of, chronicling the life of a Japanese teenage hero named Ash Ketchum. We are introduced to an ethereal water spirit that takes the shape of the now extinct felis catus but of a blue tinge with aquatic features of some kind of fish and the back ridges of a crocodylidae. In ancient archival conversations between supposed fedora-wearing cult members that roamed the vast planes of the internet, called the "neckbeards". There was a fascination between these societal outcasts about 'smashing' the water spirit, possibly due to the connotations that the water spirit may be a form of idolatry that goes against their cult beliefs. Though in other circles, it is said by others of the neckbeard cult that there is compatibility for copulation between the water spirit and humankind. This latter assessment seems unlikely due to the fact that no fossils have yet to be discovered of the Vaporeon species and what we have gathered is derived from anecdotal evidence from the animated documentary. The neckbeards believed that its water-based anatomy and the fact that humans and Vaporeons are from the same egg group would make reproduction possible, but by all accounts, humans in the 21st century as far as we know did not lay eggs. Though further studies may be necessary to verify this claim, humans may prove to be inherently different from humans today in 3023 and could in fact lay eggs may be due to the onset of global warming conditions or radiation from the aftermath of the Third World War. If Vaporeons were proved to be water-based then human insemination would also prove fruitless given the dilution of said sperm into the orifice of these creatures. It seems to be the neckbeards may just be infatuated by lewd images drawn by artists of this age of the Vaporeon species in the same vein as the few remaining pieces of adult-themed material we've gathered of a feminine green humanoid resembling that of a rose, and a feminine brown humanoid resembling that of a leporidae that seemingly were also featured deities from the aforementioned animated documentary. These images all stem from some archaic law that the neckbeards hold dear, called Rule 34. Apparently a thousand years ago, Rule 34 was a dictate for the internet in which vulgar art would be created for the entertainment of the neckbeards, even if that means debasing public figures and deities in shameless acts, many of said images even portrayed the hero Ash Ketchum committing zoophilia. Further research must also be conducted to determine if humankind were zoophilic during this time period or if this was degenerate behavior only applicable to the neckbeards. What can be concluded is that humankind was at a psychological tipping point and degeneracy may have been an underlying cause for the subsequent great decline of the species in the 21st century. - Excerpt from "A Comprehensive Study on the Legends of Vaporeon, Ash Ketchum, and Rule 34 in the Early 21st Century" (3023) by Dr. Daeseong Kim, PhD in Internet Historiography & Digital Anthropology

Historians in 3023 finding out what “4chan” was, and the horrific priests which it carried

[@Tharmin.124]

4chan appears to be a network of secretive assassin priests in service to Internet. We have discovered evidence, miraculously surviving to this day, of correspondence between two "4channers" (their shibboleth, as it was not used by others who were not indoctrinated into their priesthood). The correspondence in question, seems to indicate that the vast majority of 4channers were unable to identify each other, thus also providing protection from those who would hunt them down. We were sadly not able to discover any missions the 4channers may have embarked upon, but what can one expect from such an organisation, if not complete and utter secrecy? Perhaps more evidence can be uncovered in the future of this hidden network, but perhaps they may stay as merely a silent threat to the Anglos, who presumably were sent to assassinate those who had sinned in the eyes of Internet.

We suspect that the person inflected would have their brain decay while still alive, leading to unimaginable suffering. We do not yet know what happened when the brain completely rotted as we are still delving into ruins and the ancient texts. Space Overlords require our brains to be scanned after each return, to check for any signs of decay and if so they are to be quarantined. We can not risk the Ire of a long dead god.

Then, they would have become theoretically capable of having an "actual" linguistic conversation with the mother of their children, as well as [dedicating their lives to] becoming the best detective in all the land by consciously pushing "forensics-centricism" "into 'discussions' about science". So in that way, The People [whose only means to communicate to each other was through the verbatim use of the words of Bards] were really non-Hun (AND non-Hun-marrying) practitioners of Trotskyism whose "'War' Deterrent" was that they were Too Traditional To Make A Sequence Of Words In Order To Form Any New "Phrase" Until A Bard Did It For Them. By the way, this nonsense is still continuing today among people who are referred to as "terrorists" and also by "Hebrews" (but everyone already knows that "Hebrews" Are That Way because of Gutenberg's "Contribution to Forensics"). Most of you are Rembrandt deniers as well, which is really funny considering that Japan is better at doing that stuff, and you don't even know where your "organization is based". So why did non-Pagan words suddenly get interpreted differently than the magical words of bards which were previously the only phrases which they used in order to communicate to one another? You know, MANY people today are interpreting such "non-pagan" texts as if they're just more of their own clan's bards.

One of the best parts of this is the conflation between "Alpha" as in "Alpha male" and "Alpha" as in "generation Alpha". Two terms that have little to actually do with each other, yet use the same word to refer to different groups of people. With the original context lost, they use the word in the only way they understand thanks to surviving references. As with any good archeology-related shitpost, this highlights how little we can confidently say about our distant past, even as comparitively little as a thousand years ago. For every event known there are many that remain as mysteries, and the well-known contexts of the time fade first, because why would anyone write them down? Everybody knows them. And those ancient cultures wrote in stone.

Indeed, I have seen several fragmentary inscriptions bearing the question “It’s all Ohio?”, but in a few cases it seems there was a set response to this, a catechism of the Internet cult. The response is “Always has been”, this seems to indicate a widespread sense of societal alienation during the last days of Anglo civilisation, such that they would say their society has always been dark and cursed. This is an area which requires much greater study, as it offers a potential glimpse into Anglo views outside of the Internet orthodoxy which largely dominates our few written sources.

True, but you are forgetting the secret ingredient. The society these future English-speaking humans study is in total ruins and no longer exists in any measure. The few remnants they have are mostly cell phones and such. If English had no way to tether itself to the past and dictionaries did not exist, then people who speak it would be the only authority on it, and that authority would be spread orally. It would evolve after that from THAT base, not the thousands of years and linguistic intermixings that we have in our language. For example, in RL, even an old man could identify that "Rizz" means "charisma", but these scientists did not even recognize that etymology. The context and even the syllable are used exactly the same as "charisma", and yet the word " charisma" does not exist in their vocabulary at all. That implies that the people who survived the disappearance had very simple English vocabularies.

[@_IcyCube_]

With each revelation found within the Alpha fragment, my thirst for knowledge grew exponentially. I became consumed by the desire to unlock more of the anglo culture's secrets, to piece together the puzzle of their civilization. Every day brought new discoveries, a symphony of words and meanings resonating through my mind. While my fellow researchers marveled at the glimpses we had into their linguistic heritage, I delved even deeper, immersing myself in the anglo narratives that these words wove. I envisioned the anglo heroes, fueled by the spirit of Yolo, venturing into untamed lands, defying death in pursuit of glory. I could almost hear their battle cries and feel their adrenaline coursing through my veins. Their vibrant tales came alive, fueled by the force of Yeet, as these anglo figures propelled themselves towards daring feats. The word embodied their courage, their unyielding pursuit of victory, leaving behind a trail of triumphant moments that defied the boundaries of time. The myth of the Rizzler captured my imagination, its enigmatic allure entwined in the fabric of anglo folklore. I painted mental pictures of this captivating figure, their mystique drawing in unsuspecting souls. The Rizzler became a symbol of the mesmerizing power inherent in beauty, a concept that transcended generations and cultures. Gach, with its dual nature as an ode to physical beauty and an oath, fascinated me. I pondered the anglos' belief that attractiveness held a divine significance, intertwining it with their expressions of devotion. It painted a picture of a society that worshipped not only gods but also the physical forms they inhabited. The connection I uncovered between "Phantom Tax" and modern language became a revelation in itself. It entrenched the realization that language exists as a living entity, evolving over time while retaining traces of its ancient origins. It was as if the anglos seized fragments of their culture and wove them into the tapestry of English, leaving us breadcrumbs to tread upon their historical footsteps. Sigma, the archetype of the nonconformist, ignited a fire within me. I yearned to understand their renegade spirits, to envision the anglos who dared to challenge the status quo. Through their eyes, I glimpsed a society where idiosyncrasy thrived, where individuality was a precious trait, and conformity was mere shackles begging to be broken. Ohio, though still a riddle awaiting unraveling, held a hauntingly captivating allure. It beckoned me like a siren's call, promising to reveal the anglos' innermost fears and struggles. I could almost taste the bitterness of their decline, the weight of their uncertainties and curses, urging me onwards to uncover the truth hidden within its enigmatic name. As the team's research intensified, the Alpha fragment began to breathe, pulsating with the lifeblood of an ancient civilization. We meticulously examined each word, each phrase, savoring the revelations they unveiled. In our pursuit, I not only felt a connection to the anglos but also to my fellow researchers, bound together by a shared sense of awe and wonder. The Alpha fragment had become more than a mere artifact. It was a portal to a bygone era, granting us a intimate glimpse into a world long buried by time. Through our tireless efforts, we honored the anglos' legacy, piecing together the fragments of their culture and preserving it for future generations. As I immersed myself in the linguistic tapestry of Alpha, a profound truth dawned upon me-I was not just decoding words, but unearthing the essence of human existence. The anglos, with their stories and expressions, provided a mirror through which I could reflect upon our shared humanity and the enduring nature of the human experience.

You know, this raises a genuinely interesting question. What if, like this eccentric hyperbolic "future archeologists" portrayed in the video, current day archeologists also interpreted most things they saw on ancient relics in a way that's biased towards higher thinking and hidden messages? We subconsciously wanted the relics we found to make sense, so we pulled imaginary strings from other relics that was found previously, and made imaginary guesses on what they are supposed to be. Unless they are strictly familiar (e.g: portrayal of animals, people, carts, etc), we wouldn't ever interpret them as mere mundane items that are just "in fashion" back in the day. Ten thousand years from now, archeologists would be severely confused by the purpose of colourful glass marbles that can be found in every civilization from the entire globe, not knowing they're used for merely either decoration or simple games. Perhaps this is indeed what happened with the Roman Dodecahedron, that we're putting too much thought in what are simply toys.
