Ya know what happened to Apep(the deity)?
He got his fucking ass kicked by Ra. Hell, if I remember right, he also gets his ass kicked by Horus at least once.
Basically, don't fuck with the sun. It's got hands. And a beak.

Carter did blow up a sun...
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!

I thought these were Whitecloaks from WoT at first and then my dumbass was like "no, Whitecloaks have golden sunbursts on the chest of their uniforms, not red. Wait, what about The Hand Of the Light? No, that's crimson shepherd's crooks, not sunbursts"
That continued for a while before I noticed their fucking guns
I’m still upset that this was canceled.
What is this show?
It’s called Raised By Wolves. It was on HBO Max before Zaslov took over. He scrapped it completely and pulled it off the platform. I think it’s on one of those free ad-supported channels now.
The show is produced by Ridley Scott and his production company Scott Free Productions .
It’s quite hard to describe. At its core, it’s a sci-fi series focused on a couple of androids who are sent to raise human kids on another planet when Earth is destroyed by a religious war.
Beyond that, it’s like someone took LSD before writing the weirdest sci-fi shit they could think of. I mean like:
Tap for spoiler
androids giving birth to flying snakes, acid aliens storing babies in their chest cavity, and people turning into trees
I don’t even know how to describe it without spoilers because it’s so wild. I absolutely loved it.
As someone who did watch it on acid, fully agreed. I had to rewatch it sober because I thought the whole show had been a fever dream. It was even trippier sober.
Okay I think I might have watched the first episode or I watch at least the preview for it and it was one of those shows that I wanted to watch but I've got so many that it just hasn't gone to that point yet. Guess I'm going to have to dig that out here soon.
I had watched the first half of the first episode and then got called away for something and didnt go back until about a year later when people recommended it. I restarted the episode and almost stopped again but then the ending just went off the rails and I got much more interested

That looks kinda like the guy who played Ragnar in "Vikings."
(cautiously checks for weird things like too many fingers, armor features that make nonsense, or other visual anomalies before cautiously asking...)
What's this from?
It looks pretty rad.

Watching the two on the left go from hardnosed atheist commandos to saying “Praise Sol” with conviction, what a wild fucking trip of a show.
Doesnt he get his ass kicked by Ra nightly as Ra travels through the underworld every night?
I'm fairly certain you're right, I just can't remember if it was that exact attempt at fucking with the Sun that started that, or if that was another time.
Because Ra has nothing but burning hatred for Apep, and it was well damned earned. Snake refuses to learn the lesson.

the Romans knew the sun as Sol Invictus, or "The Unconquerable Sun". Ever hear the story about the man who conquered the sun?
Me either

Literally the plot of American Gods
NASA has a huge history of nerdy names with mythological references, allegedly rituals too
Most people doing the science there are likely on the spectrum, so I wouldn't expect anything less

Founded JPL and Aerojet He was also a Thelemite occultist
Oh wow! I just learned about this dude yesterday lmao
Atrocity Guide just posted a video about him recently, wild shit
He also got scammed by Elron Hubbard out of his mansion and fortune which Hubbard basically used to found scientology

A word for this is ‘backronym’
One of the rockets sprays water at the sun.
This is to see what would happen, but is also an attempt at extinguishing the sun.
Adding more hydrogen will make the sun burn faster, so I guess spraying water will extinguish the sun a little earlier than it otherwise would.

Don't piss off Aten
Wouldn't they hit the moon instead?
Yea extinguish that mf. Dude causes way too much light pollution already
The moon is super important because it shines during the night when it's dark, while the sun is only ever in the sky during the day when it's bright outside, so it's much less important.
Thank you Terry.
