n00b question:
if there were no grayfaces, cabbages, no machine(tm) or any of that bullshit what would anyone be talking about or doing on a day to day basis?
I havent yet thought of a good enough answer to this question... !PLEH

we'd be complaining about the weather and jerking off in our socks, of course.

I'm fairly certain Rule 34 would have the same dominance it currently enjoys.

So, everyone walking around, blissfully aware and enlightened?

Society would grind to a halt, and a gentle "fapping" noise would be heard from coast to coast.

I want that!

I'm guessing even if there were some sort of Discordian utopia we'd still be pranking people and arguing about what's wrong with it.

I mean, to most people, there are no grayfaces, cabbages, Machine^TM, etc. What are they talking about?

So in other words, we need something to dislike to unify and define us?

No, in the absence of anything to dislike, we would just pick on each other, which is what we already do.

East Coast Hustle · January 16, 2008, 05:36:56 AM

but what if we actually DO dislike each other?

or, more to the point, what if I actually DO dislike most of you?

Mesozoic Mister Nigel · January 16, 2008, 04:01:19 PM

even better, then.

Everyone does. Remember that hilarious period after the end of the Cold War, when everyone was trying to make Japan the next Great Enemy? Neither do I, because I was watching Sesame Street at the time, but it still happened, was still hilarious, and suggests everyone needs an enemy. The only reason they dropped Japan is because there was Somalia, and Bosnia and Kosovo and Afghanstan etc

So with that in mind, how do we use this phenomenon?
