Does anyone else want a not-serious oceans 11 meets League of Extraordinary Gentlemen style film about EA-NĀṢIR pulling off some sort of copper heist with 10 other famous people from ancient history? Is it just me?

[-] kernelle@lemmy.world 21 points 4 weeks ago

I see him more as a Trump-esque figure, doing bad business delivering bad product claiming to be the best. I'd watch EA-NĀṢIR having a breakdown and character arc

Trump would never collect complaints about himself, or even acknowledge they exist. Clearly Ea-nasir was a different kind of grifter.

[-] kernelle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I assume neither did he, but we found complaint tablets elsewhere, so definitely notorious

EA-Nasir recruits Gilgamesh and Enkindu, also somehow, Beowulf

Lmao they doxxed EA Nasir

Funniest shit I've seen all year

[-] amzd@lemmy.world 21 points 4 weeks ago

Man they lived in bigger homes than I do now

[-] SoJB@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 weeks ago

Worked fewer hours and took more days off, too.

Weird how the working class just keeps producing more and yet gets less and less.

Inflation takes its toll.

Homes were only 5 minas a square cubit back then.

If he didn't want to be doxxed, he shouldn't have sold shitty copper!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

I suppose you wouldn't care if someone doxxed you for not sacrificing a goat at the temple last week, right?

Oh yes, I noticed.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

Blocked and reported. I deny doing anything like that.

[-] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Wait, was that HIM I saw leaving the temple with a still living goat last week?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes! Can you believe it? It wasn't even a very nice goat. Looked like it had mange.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

Humans are the funniest thing in the light cone.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Too soon! I should report this Dox'ing!

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I've played a lot of D&D but I don't recognize this dungeon map.

The Internet in Ancient Times

Welcome to the stone age... or the bronze age... or the iron age... heck, anything with an 'age' is welcome, except our modern age or any ages to come.

This is about what the internet was like thousands of years ago back when it all started. Like when Darius the Great hired mercenaries via Craigslist or when Egypt invented emojis.

CODE OF LAWS

1 - Be civil. No name calling, no fighting, keep your flint hand axes inside your leather pouches at all times.

2 - Keep the AI stuff to a minimum. It gets annoying and old fashioned memes are more fun for everyone.

3 - None of this newfangled modern 21st century nonsense. We don't even know what "21st century" means.

4 - No porn/explicit content. The king is sensitive about these things.

5 - No lemmy.world TOS violations will be tolerated. So there.

6 - There is no ~~rule~~ law 6.

Laws of justice which Hammurabi, the wise king, established. A righteous law, and pious statute did he teach the land. Hammurabi, the protecting king am I. I have not withdrawn myself from the men, whom Bel gave to me, the rule over whom Marduk gave to me, I was not negligent, but I made them a peaceful abiding-place. I expounded all great difficulties, I made the light shine upon them. With the mighty weapons which Zamama and Ishtar entrusted to me, with the keen vision with which Ea endowed me, with the wisdom that Marduk gave me, I have uprooted the enemy above and below (in north and south), subdued the earth, brought prosperity to the land, guaranteed security to the inhabitants in their homes; a disturber was not permitted. The great gods have called me, I am the salvation-bearing shepherd, whose staff is straight, the good shadow that is spread over my city; on my breast I cherish the inhabitants of the land of Sumer and Akkad; in my shelter I have let them repose in peace; in my deep wisdom have I enclosed them. That the strong might not injure the weak, in order to protect the widows and orphans, I have in Babylon the city where Anu and Bel raise high their head, in E-Sagil, the Temple, whose foundations stand firm as heaven and earth, in order to bespeak justice in the land, to settle all disputes, and heal all injuries, set up these my precious words, written upon my memorial stone, before the image of me, as king of righteousness.
