This is a very boomerish format

I would imagine this meme was intended for the christian facebook mamas to offend them

[-] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 34 points 5 months ago

Revelations was never a prediction. It was a plan. Look at them. They're not hesitating in their support.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago

it was straight up allegory. Everybody contemporary to John of Patmos knew that the antichrist was Nero. it wasn't exactly thinly veiled.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

All the more reason to kick Trump to the curb: we don't need another Nero. 🎵

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Good news!

I’m pretty sure Trump doesn’t know how to fiddle, so there’s that at least.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Neither did Nero, though, since the fiddle wasn't invented at the time. There's also no solid evidence that he did ANYTHING musical at that time 🤷

Then explain how I burned my CDs back in high school? Nero sure was doing something musical for me in the 90s.

Holy...

I used this program. For years. I had stacks and stacks of CDs and eventually DVDs because I was the one with cable internet in the UK and 10mbit speed in 2000 and 2001.

Nero Burning ROM. I only just got it.

I feel stupider now.

Well better than me since I just got it because you posted this. 😂

I didn't make the ROM connection.

Big same.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

That's fair. It's actually how I think computers work. Like yeah 1's and 0's really made all those Sierra games I played. I believe magic is the real answer.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, I’m quite aware it would have been a different stringed instrument… as one of the Roman elites, though, the basics would have been taught to him by the grammaticus (second stage of education, around the age of ten to eleven.)

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Kinda missing the second half there, chief.. The part about the whole anecdote is likely made up of whole cloth, regardless of instrument..

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

No, I'm indulging a fantasy. In any case, did you miss the part where his Golden Palace and all the pleasure gardens were built on the parts of Rome that burned?

"Nero Fiddled" isn't meant to be literal, but rather to convey that he celebrated while rome burned. If you're really curious, Nero rushed back from his villa (35 miles outside rome, as it happens,) and immediately began paying up the fire brigade to combat the fire- out of his own pocket. Keep in mind, the fire brigade, for lack of a better term, were strong arm thugs and would demand payment upfront... while one's home was burning. They may not have set the fire (but then, they may have also.).

There's a lot of things that we just don't know. Accusations at the time (largely from elites who hated him,) saying he set the fire specifically to get the land. It's equally possible the fire was set by his politcal enemies.

all that aside, Nero could play an instrument, which is one skill more than trump has.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

He only knows how to fiddle the books

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Not even that. He has people for that.

Three raccoons in a suit would be more competent

Another reason to kick Trump to the curb: A CD burner named after Trump would suck

That meme format though...

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

How am I supposed to know if I should laugh without the mess of emoji?

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

Anti-christ literally came and went. ~I sleep.~
