Even 7 year old me knew it was Alternating Current/Direct Current. Did none of them actually ever work with a kitchen appliance from the 70s?

The satanic panic wasn't an intellectual movement.
Guys, I heard that Taylor Swift stands for Take All You Like, O Rebel, Satan Will Intercede For Thee.
Ok but for reals though, Taylor Swift is an intentional genetic clone of Anton LaVey's daughter Zeena Schreck, who was high priestess of the church of Satan 👹
this is peak content, no notes
That would be so much cooler though.
New album title incoming.

Oh hey, my favorite eurobeat song by Bratt ainclaire and Dr. Love :D
I prefer Max Heapsize
This was literally in my brain before I opened the thread.
Thank you.
There is a band called ACxDC and that stands for Antichrist Demoncore.
They're vegan straight edge satanists.

Down here in dullardville they said it meant "After Christ Devil Comes" when I was a kid. I had never heard of them and gave them a try. Funny, that I found out about one of my lifelong favorite bands because useless god bothers made up some stupid shit about them.
Classic Streisand at play "DONT listen to this band cause they are SUPER evil and they are the DEVIL!!!!"
You'd think religious people would eventually learn the harder they try to repress exploration, the more they end up encouraging it. It's more fact than stereotype that the most sexually repressed and sheltered growing up end up becoming the freakiest and kinkiest.
Oh wow - I thought our neighbor when I was a teenager had come up with this one themselves, when they warned my parents I was listening to satanic music.
Not cool that you took it without asking
Nothing in the universe is faster than the evangelical misinformation hate and fear pipeline
The satanic panic was real in the 80s
All the way back to the witch trials... and in some isolated pockets today
I remember sneaking away and lying where I was going so I could secretly play Dungeons and Dragons.
"No, mom, I'm going to a party! With drugs! And alcohol! I swear!"
"You can't fool me, sonny! I know you don't get invited to parties. You're going to play Dragons and Dungeons with that group of nerds you call your friends, aren't you!"
"...yes, mom..."
"Now go to your room and think about what you've done. Pray to the Lord for mercy, and don't come out again until God sends you a sign that he has forgiven you!"
I'd argue it never truly ended and was the birth of the modern "culture war".
Honestly if you look at the 90s through 2000s people were claiming the same stuff about pokemon and Harry Potter.
I’m so glad people were less ~~religious~~ deranged here.

Alternating Current/Direct Current
The only songs they've done even relevant to their name is Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap) and T.N.T. Specifically the lines that say "HIGH VOLTAGE!", "I'm a powerload" and "I'm a livewire"
No love for Thunderstruck?
Thunder is just the sound. If it was Lightningstruck, it'd be included. 😌
well, if you were the one struck they'd be pretty close together...
You can't fool me, those are Stand names.

Same thing with KISS. Back in elementary school I remember hearing that it stands for Kids In Satan's Society.
It was "Knights in Satan's Service" in my youth.
Keep it simple, stupid

This is disrespectful to Satan. I mean the man invented Jazz to corrupt the youth and you think he's wasting his time with dumb-ass boomer blues-rock? What a downgrade, no wonder Satan hates Christians.
Ok first off, AC/DC isn’t just a national treasure, it’s a good damn species treasure. So how fucking dare you.
I've seen parrots jamming out to it too

AC/DC are pretty legendary dude. And you're going to have some Aussies trying to figure out where you live

AC means Alternating Current, electrical current that periodically reverses direction, and DC means Direct Current, a current that continuously flows in one direction. AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types of power.
AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types
Go on...
So see, power intake is a spectrum… some devices are born AC, some DC. Some devices however go both ways. It’s natural. However some organizations like the IEC want to force their narrow world view on everyone.
