It would yield another religion, originated in a group that could parley their forced participation into fame on social media, which might lead to many more followers and eventually a holy war with the Mormons. Hmm. Might be worth a try.

Granted, but no hyphen.

Henceforth, possession shall be denoted with ` and contraction shall be denoted with '. Possessive plurals shall be denoted with ``.

OP said 'humorously' not 'to make the world a better place.'

That's practically the definition of 'like' to an infant. 'This makes me feel how boob juice makes me feel.'

I suspect they'd invent their own. No one introduced religion to humanity. It came from within.

Been in that state a lot. That's classic depression. Evo-psych has some stupid ideas but their read on depression is solid. That urge to withdraw from society is a human urge. The urge is designed to lead to either, you leaving your band of primates to seek another, or your fellow group members coming and finding you to show how much you matter to them. Modern life doesn't let that happen though. So many of our relationships are digital or just shallow so no one can tell you're leaving, and changing your group in a real way is hard. If you want to feel betterment you have to use your rational brain to seek out what your body is instinctively reaching for. Pick something that you have always cared about, and go to a real life event centered on that thing. This can be almost anything, as long as there are real people, really sharing a physical space. Talk to the people about that thing. Don't do it just to tick it off the list, you have to pay attention to what they are saying because you need to be able to articulate their ideas and then respond to them.

I'm almost certain that's a dermestid larva. I've seen lots over the years. They're mostly harmless, though a sign that maybe you should do a bit deeper of a 'spring cleaning.' If you are a fiber fiend (spinner, knitter, crocheter, etc.) or someone who likes natural fibers they can be bad news because they can munch your stuff if it's left around enough.

I remember listening to a discussion about how the advent of farming enabled the feeding (at least to a survivable level) of large groups of those loyal to the holder. This enabled militaries, which enabled military expansion, which snowballed into everything else. Refusing the farming means refusing a military, which leaves you defenseless against those who use it. Farming is a weapon.

It's far stranger to me that it seems kind of half-assed. January, for the month of the god Janus. February, from februare, for purification, the month of purification. March, for the month of the god Mars. April (not quite as clear) possibly derived from Aphrodite. Possibly just from aperilis, meaning 'next.' Things seem to be getting a bit wobbly. May, seemingly for the goddess Maia. June, for the goddess Juno. And then everything goes sideways. July for Caesar, a human, but previously Quintilis, for fifth. August was previously Sextilis, for sixth. Then September, sept for seven, October, oct for eight. Nov, 9. Dec, 10. All those things in the first part, and then they just say, 'Anyone have any more ideas for the rest? No? Oh well, then. We'll just number the rest and call it done.'

*for telling people they are responsible for what others do in a chatroom they may look at once and then ignore.

I am in discords I never engage with, but literally only have as a place I can search for answers, like a niche alternative to stack overflow. It is absurd for me to be held to the standard of policing everything that happens on those servers just in case some of it might be bad. Discords can also have permissions limited viewing. Are we supposed to know what happens in the channels we can't see?

More importantly, despite how much work it is to do so, punishments have to be applied on an individual level. Punishing people who are in a class is too vague.
