Nu-uh, jeans were invented in the 1850s to be sold to gold rush miners out in California. A Levi's commercial told me so. Same era had big hoop skirts. It was jeans and hoop skirts up until Disco.

The English never stated that god promised them some land.

They just took it for the Crown.

"God, King and Country" definitely implies it

[–] ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 hours ago

Isn't the point of the whole "divine right of kings" that the kings actions follow the will of god? Or worded a bit differently, that a king works as a god's proxy.

This would mean that taking land for the crown means taking it in the name of god, right?

I think a community where you can post or link ai slop in order for some Lemming to make a human made imagine would be a fun idea.

Here, I'll poorly try this one.

the flags are important. there are too many that refuse to accept that the genocidal and violent colonial forces depicted in this meme are the same ones that are committing a genocide and ethnic cleansing in palestine -- especially gaza -- right now.

I just wrote the country instead of drawing the flags. Maybe someone more skilled can add to it.

Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: ai slop

There is no rule against AI, reporter. You can’t just report shit willy-nilly.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 13 points 18 hours ago

I wouldn't hate an instance wide AI ban. This comic could have been accomplished using wojaks and chads

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Oof, being a mod in a community and hiding behind your lack of rules against AI isn't the win you think it is. Why not do something useful and ban AI?

my own god told me i can kill you and steal your shit.

imagine if everyone was living under that "logic"

[–] MiraculousMM@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

That's exactly what living in the States is like

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Man, I downvoted because of the AI used to make the meme

But then I unvoted to avoid the racism, so now we are at a net neutral

Seems like gods (or rather the people who believe in them, since those actually exist) are consistently a problem.
