Salt Bae was a meme from about eight years ago: https://lamag.com/food/salt-bae-los-angeles/

The Romans salted the earth in Carthage in punishment for their defeat at Cannae.

Cato the Elder used to conclude all his speeches with some variant of Carthago Delenda Est because he was so pissed off about Cannae.

Like I said … layered.

Don't feel bad, never having heard of "Salt Bae" until this very moment, I didn't get it either. ;)

Ha! The question everything - Why? Was one of my creations. Not the background and the question everything but I did add the why and initially posted it up back in '04 or '05 to blastedreality.net and Facebook. It's kinda along the same lines as my holiday card side business. .. https://destroyallhumanity.com

Thank you. If you ever need any, don't buy them through the site. The prices are set there to prohibitively block sales. It's more of a portfolio masquerading as an ecommerce site than a real store. I order them via Vistaprint whenever anyone wants a bunch. Way cheaper and easier to deal with.

Ah, good to know; thanks!

I actually started putting all my memes on a flash drive in case NZ went full Stasi... however then I couldn't easily share them and they cant jail people for that can they ? Oh wait..

Omg I wanted to share a meme and I cant in this comment for some reason 😭

Christopher Cook's avatar

Share it in Notes! 😁 and tag me!

VioletFemme1's avatar

I don't know what the difference is between a note or reposting/posting is and I'm deeply confused and will have to read an article. 🙀 @Christopher Cook

Christopher Cook's avatar

It's not your fault, Violet. Substack has changed its interface to make commenting on an article look like commenting in Notes. So now everyone is confused.

On your cover image, two thoughts. First, there is no king but Jesus Christ. Putting an ugly fat sack in a crown and calling him "king vitaman" doesn't make the fat sack a king and doesn't make that corn flour and sugar *and* brown sugar garbage healthy, no matter how many molecules of "nutrients" they add. Second, there are no Quakers involved in the ownership and operation of the "Quaker" oats company and there never were. It was a deliberate lie in 1877 when the name was taken in order to deceive the public into believing that the disgusting company had anything to do with the honesty and diligence of members of the religious society of the friends of Jesus, "the people known as Quakers." So, no, mass murdering storm trooper grey suited officer, it doesn't "check out." On a less serious note, you might want to look at "Etienne de la Boetie 2" whose current article suggests that New York state wants to impose on your freedom to express yourself in three dimensions by requiring a kill switch be installed on all 3D printers. I guess they don't understand freedom of the press. Not that I have any interest in ever living in New York state again, given its population of communists, freemasons, and demon worshippers in power.

Somehow I missed that You were exiting social media... Not sure why - it's fairly decent for sharing perspectives and ideas. Just hoping SS is not one You will leave.

Christopher Cook's avatar

Nope, it’s Twitter, IG, LinkedIn, etc. I am leaving (or have left).

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

Ah. I really should leave X-Twatter - I am 100% shadow banned there. But I post links in case someOne searches Me out. Other than that, I don’t waste the energy. Am in Linkedin, but haven’t been there in ages. Haha! Never joined IG…

I can relate, though. Glad We’ll still see You here!

Christopher Cook's avatar

I too am shadowbanned there. What’s the point in staying? I know where I’m not wanted! 😄

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

LOL! Like I said, I drop My links and if someOne searches for Me, there they will be. Takes… 5 min. per article if that. Haha!

Christopher Cook's avatar

Is it Substack links you are dropping there, or something else? Does anyone ever click, as far as you can tell?

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

I usually link to Odysee - same posts, but I want to promote that platform over YouToilet, so I try to bring People in.
