I used to be a mod for r/streetwear (millions of subscribers). Before the blackout we'd constantly be getting posts throughout the day. Now when I lurk, I see 2 posts a day on average, sometimes none. The community is dead compared to before the blackout, but they didn't migrate to lemmy. Maybe they shifted to discord or just quit reddit-like social media, idk.
P.S. shameless plug for !streetwear@lemmy.world ๐
Isn't nuclear power easier than this mithril stuff?
Not knowing the language is a problem which doesn't fully eliminate the issue, you're right, but it does eliminate the possibility of changing the written scriptures. As a result there will always be thinkers who can return to the original text and come to their own conclusions, challenging the prevailing thoughts of their region or era, something that has repeatedly occurred in Muslim history.
I was responding to the text I quoted, not the full post ๐
The Koran and Torah yield similar results. I think that is the main reason why religions try, or have tried in the past, to restrict reading to a select few leaders and try to keep the propaganda to what they want it to mean at any given time in history.
Regarding the Koran, your statement is verifiably false. It was widely read and memorized by the masses so that a select few leaders couldn't control what they want it to mean.
Amazing story ๐ซ
Figured it out. Weirdly, knowing you solved it made me confident I could too, and I don't even know you ๐ค

I focused on the anomaly ignoring the rest, tried to see what possible rules could lead to it, then went back to see which rule also applied to the "non-anomalous" numbers.

Haha appreciate it ๐
