YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason WHY YSK:
In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true:
Disinformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.
Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.
Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

You should know, that they've always found a way for just about everything to fill revelations prophesies. most politicians etc....
honeslty trump is the one that seemed to have the most elaborate ties. Multiple ways to tie him to the "seemingly dead but reviving" of the antichrist (assasination attempt, loss in 2020, etc...).
Either way though point still remains. From what I gather the most historically plausible interpretation is it was intended to be referencing nero ceasar, particularly because the number changing between 616 and 666 based on the translation.
At the end of the day, when you are working backwards, you'll always find a way to make the pieces fit. Which make all of it a complete waste of time. If you want to find a way to make it hitler, or obama, or AI, or climate change, or spongebob squarepants... and you've got the time, you'll find a way to make it work.
Reminds me a bit of when I used to DM, My players used to think I was like an M Night shamalan of DMing because I'd drop some really cryptic prophesies and hints at the begining, and in spite of past me being more of a seat of the pants DM that let them take the plot in whatever direction they felt like going. Those cryptic prophesies always paid off at the end... how did I do it? Easy I just randomly made up complete gyberish for the prophesies with zero plan for what I wanted to do with them... took note of what they were, when I felt like we were near a climax of something, I either made very slight changes to what was currently going on to make it fit, or just had an NPC phrase something in a way that made the players think of the gyberish from before and let them write connections for me.
