The One True Religion

[lxskllr]

Through reddit, and Linux, the clouds of doubt have been lifted from my eyes, and the true nature of life as been revealed. A post on reddit describing the fat fingering of the "date" command by typing "ddate" revealed a glimpse into the truth hidden away in the Linux system. ddate gives you the date in the Discordian calendar, and further research lead me to Wikipedia, and my great awakening.

I've been a Discordian most of my life, and never realized it. I suspect it was passed down genetically, silently, and awaiting discovery at the prescribed time.

If you want in on the Discordian Society
then declare yourself what you wish
do what you like
and tell us about it
or
if you prefer
don't.

There are no rules anywhere.

The Goddess Prevails.

Wait, you're a redditor Lx? LOLOLOl, man Reddit absolutely destroys any chance of productivity at work. So many ****ing subreddits, must check them all.....


"Discordianism is centered on the idea that both order and disorder are illusions imposed on the universe by the human nervous system, and that neither of these illusions of apparent order and disorder are anymore accurate or objectively true than the other."

That's pretty much how I see it! Funny how they easter egged that into linux lol.

I only recently discovered reddit following a link from a different site. I already knew about it of course, but never really looked into it. Time sink is right. Lots of fun stuff there, only a couple clicks away :^D

Nice find. We may be rather similar, you and I.


...or perhaps not.

The atheism subreddit usually has some funy stuff, along the same vein as this. I have been a redditor for a long time. Possibly the best site on the internet. 1.9 billion pageviews last month, that is MASSIVE.

Chao (pronounced "cow") is a neologism for a single unit of chaos. In Discordianism, the chao is a symbol of the 'pataphysical nature of reality. The word is a pun, enabling this quatrain from the Principia Discordia:

To diverse gods do mortals bow; Holy Cow, and Wholly Chao.

W00T! Now I'll always know what day it is.
