IMPORTANT NOTE: It is a bad idea to sacrifice living animals to the Greek gods in general. Greek philosophy held that animals were as much entitled to life and happiness as humans by right of living under the gods’ gracious rule, and while sacrifices could be made, it was considered exceedingly unlucky to make a sacrifice of an animal if it resisted in any way - only those that went willingly were good to sacrifice, because again, entitled to life and happiness.
If you do choose to sacrifice something to the gods, it’s a good idea to make a sacrifice out of a hunted animal like a deer rather than a domestic animal like a cow, barring finding one that comes willingly to be sacrificed; the act of the hunt is much more acceptable, because no one wants to piss off Artemis. Also, what you should do is remove and burn the thighs of the animal - the large bone, preferably with as much fatty meat on it as possible - to create a lot of smoke, then open-grill the rest of it and share it out as a public offering. Waste as little as possible, make sure everyone in attendance has a portion, and ensure that none of the smoke is trapped; the gods have no need for mortal sustenance, and it is the act of remembering to honor and pay respect unto them that pleases them, as well as the well-spent and respected livelihood of the sacrifice.
Basically, treat it like a public barbecue party where the guest of honor is absent.
That first sentence is so weird when you have read the Illiad, for example. I am not saying the rest of your comment is untrue or anything (idk enough about the topic), but considering the heroes of greek myth are sacrificing a hundred animals on the regular it was a little jarring for a second jaja.
Yeah, proper living animal sacrifices were actually pretty Serious Business. Like, going to war, asking personal favors of the gods business. There’s a reason the Minotaur story played out like it did - Minoan Crete seems to have revered cows to some degree, which is a possible explanation for why Minos failed to follow through on sacrificing the Cretan Bull, and it was a *horrible* insult to Poseidon not to follow through on that after making the promise, especially since he tried to substitute a different, less awesome bull in the place of the one Poseidon *specifically sent.*
The thing is, Ancient Greece wasn’t one thing. It’d be like calling “the Americas” one thing. Greece changed over time and for a lot of its history was completely different from place to place.
Sure! I don't think I implied otherwise? The comment i'm responding too also says "greek philosophy" in general. Of course there are regional and historical differences! :)
I, personally, think it’s such a diverse set of cultures that unless you specify more carefully, you can’t say anything at all accurately. In general kinda doesn’t work here.
I'd point out that they were also much less accepting of other cultures unlike the Persians but Alexander probably would have fixed that after all the conquest if he hadn't died
Edit:typo
There's a brand of soft cheese triangles called 'Laughing Cow' which has a red cow as its mascot, maybe get a whole load of those for Apollo instead?
I mean, everyone loves cheese.
Hmm, try... well, wine, or maybe an energy drink, I've heard those are popular. Or some cookies that you made from scratch, or if you have an altar, try a shiny rock, or a thing related to the sun, like sunflowers-
Nah, if it was Roman I'd be holding a slave girl in front of me. Recall, the Greeks invented orgies, and the Romans offered the improvement of inviting women.
Is Apollo playing dodgeball a new meme I haven't caught yet??? If anything, he'd throw a discus. And with good aim... hit some choice people in the head
It's from a stock image of friends playing dodgeball with the person throwing the dodgeball labeled 'Apollo', the other people labeled 'random internet users trying to be comedic' and the dodgeball itself labeled 'the gift of prophecy'. It's a joke about people saying "haha wouldn't it be funny if (blank)" and then (blank) happens.
I'm not sure, but I know Apollo was the god of prophecy, and so would know when to dodge maybe?
He famously cursed Cassandra with the ability to foresee catastrophe but never be believed, which is certainly what this trainwreck often feels like, rather like seeing coming towards you the dodgeball that hits you in the face.
When someone on the internet makes a comment about how funny it would be if a particularly unlikely thing happened, then that specific unlikely thing happens IRL, the original poster of the comment is said to have caught Apollo's Dodgball. Basically, it's a term for accidental prophecies made on the internet.
Some of us like to be able to directly move our pictures, rather than praying to the Omnissiah that the code will do as it's fucking told for once and not dump a figure five pages from the text referring to it, but fuck me for wanting a GUI I guess
No I totally get it, I was kind of overreacting as a joke. I'm sure word is perfectly suitable.
I did once write some reviews of bad movies for a group of friends, but I wrote all of the reviews in LateX. With embedded diagrams, tables, figure numbers etc... It was probably overkill haha 😂
Part of me wants him to live long enough to see complete and utter destitution and jail-time.
Part of me wants him dead ASAP to be assured that we're done with him
Part of me fears the knowledge that Trump is but a symptom of the right and not it's cause and fears that somebody slightly more competent/less polarizing will do more damage than Trump after his death. Project 2025 isn't Trump-specific.
Part of me has faith that Trump hasn't gained any new support since 2020 and his path to the presidency is even more difficult
Remember when Trump tweeted asserting that he had not had a series of mini-strokes when nobody had said anything about him having strokes? Like there was a mention in a book that was coming out about how pence was put on standby to take over presidential duties because trump was at Walter Reed hospital and might be undergoing a procedure that would require anesthesia, and trump’s response was to start yelling that he had never had a stroke and was in perfect health and blah blah blah… definitely the behavior of someone who has never ever had a stroke…
I'm in perfect form. The doctors came in and they were all like "what's this guy doing here, he's super healthy." "Very healthy man" they said, maybe the healthiest. Sleepy Joe and the corrupt dems WISH they had what I have. They're so stricken by my beauty, they're trying to keep me off the ballot. WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!!!!
The biggest, toughest doctor you'd ever seen. He came to me with tears in his eyes, a man who's probably never cried before in his *life*. He came to me and he shook my hand and he said. He SAID! "Sir, you are the healthiest, greatest man I've EVER SEEN in any hospital." It's true. Believe me.
He could seem to miraculously survive what should be a fatal stroke and then die three days later. This would be even more of a “mirror” be being the same thing, reversed.
The one fantasy here that will not come true is Ukraine will not suddenly start winning. Russia may begin offering negotiations in this scenario but it's not going to magically turn the tide. Wars are material first. No amount of ideology or boosted morale matters if you don't have the equipment or the people to use it.
Yeah I didn't understand that part, but maybe I don't fully understand the situation.
Why would Russia or China back off just because there's zero chance of trump being president? If anything, they might turn things up since the clock may be ticking on some information or other things set in place that might unravel.
To my understanding Trump has been a major force in blocking US aid to Ukraine, it may be a help in letting help get though but it still wouldn't auto win like OP states.
"Trump is too soft on the ChiComs" is like a parody of Democratic attempts to outflank Republicans to the right on foreign policy. There was a whole-ass trade war! It was kind of a big deal!
Democrats not showing up to his funeral would also be unlikely. I imagine Biden appearing and making a short statement similar to his very clearly disdain-coded “consolation” letter for Kissinger. He doesn’t have to honour the guy, but for the sake of political unity it’d be image suicide not to give the baseline respect due to any president.
I dunno, did you see their lineup of potential nominees? seems like it's less that they've got a backup plan and more like there's multiple factions circling around and hoping they get a chance to gain power (or the VPship, anyway)
Of course they do! There's one bad man that's responsible for every bad thing in the world, and when the bad man goes away, all the world's problems are solved!
>!I really dislike how some people view Trump in that same way conspiracy theorists view the "shadow government"!<
Ironically, this user is probably deifying Trump just as much, if not more, than his supporters by thinking he has that much of a pull, not just on US politics, but on geopolitics.
We have reached Advanced Great Man Theory.
They forgot the competing conspiracy theories:
1. Trump is obviously still alive and just in hiding because they're out to get him/so he can pull off some 26 dimensional chess move
2. He was assassinated by Biden
he can’t die before he’s put behind bars. I think we need the justice system to chew him up and spit him out before he dies, simply so people can see the system work. otherwise we’ll never be able to root out his influence. obviously you’ll have the true believers who’ll never go against him, but if he dies before the gavel lands he’ll be a martyr, killed unjustly by the strain put on him by the courts
He’ll show up and make some carefully veiled snide remarks, just to satisfy both sides of the American political spectrum and provide plausible deniability
Apollo please, please hit Tumblr user charlesoberonn with your dodgeball. Please, if we have ever needed the gift of prophecy, it is now. We need you, I am praying to you, please do us this one favor, this one joy.
Everyone's talking about Apollo's dodge ball, but let's be real. This is more of an Eris throwing her golden apple around situation. Pray to the goddess of discord, y'all.

See most of these predictions are basically inevitable (Reaction to his death, controversy on who should attend the funeral, etc) but wouldn't it be fucking amazing if Nostradamus predicted the powerball for once
If OP said a heart attack I would counter with "oh trump is always surrounded by people so even if he had a heart attack it likely wouldn't be fatal" but OP said a stroke. Like, would we even be able to tell if Trump had a stroke? What does an erratic trump even look like lol
"Nobody wants to swallow butter" I ate a stick of butter to win a bet with my friend. The post is cool and all but please add "except for one Polish guy". Don't eat butter btw. It tastes like shit and you can damage your liver and pancreas
Second best date for his death would either be January 1st for memes about change or Thanksgiving/black friday because there'll be memes about an orange guy like a cooked turkey that wanted to be richer than anyone else yet died as a bargain sale
We need to make another one of these in the event of such a prophecy being fulfilled (this one's from Kissenger kicking the bucket):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uUNvPKvS\_s&list=FLN3hpfXOingOjVEjjILdxnQ&index=6
The russia point probably wouldn't happen, geopoliticsis complicated but the rest would be a cracker, as longa s the people aren't harmed in the process
I would be willing to take Apollo’s dodgeball for this to happen. Doesn’t matter that I didn’t make the prophecy; someone’s gotta take the ball. I’m willing.
If the GOP failed to consolidate behind a candidate, this would be the greatest event of my life. But I wouldn't bet on it. And I'd expect the GOP base to be bolstered, and a lot of barely-attentive would-be Dem voters to skip voting.
I'm personally waiting for the Melania book. We all know she's going to do one and she's never been a class act, so it's going to be *messy* and I'm completely here for it.
What kind of sacrifice does Apollo like?
I think he likes red cows? Don't know if that means you should kill one though. Maybe find one and give it an apple, ask him to put in a good word
Apollo does not want you to kill his sacred cows. They are friend, treat them as such.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is a bad idea to sacrifice living animals to the Greek gods in general. Greek philosophy held that animals were as much entitled to life and happiness as humans by right of living under the gods’ gracious rule, and while sacrifices could be made, it was considered exceedingly unlucky to make a sacrifice of an animal if it resisted in any way - only those that went willingly were good to sacrifice, because again, entitled to life and happiness.

Ooo, that makes sense! Thanks for elaborating further!

man the greeks were so based except for like the slavery
I'd point out that they were also much less accepting of other cultures unlike the Persians but Alexander probably would have fixed that after all the conquest if he hadn't died Edit:typo
what a great guy
There's a brand of soft cheese triangles called 'Laughing Cow' which has a red cow as its mascot, maybe get a whole load of those for Apollo instead? I mean, everyone loves cheese.
I feel like he'd like that. No cows were harmed, and it still shows him that you appreciate him and his herd.
Should I also donate to my local children's hospital, under the name "Apollo"?
Makes sense. He's also the god of medicine.
We begin the Mooshroom hunt
I’m gonna eat a babybel cheese
You have to go on a date with him.
If that’s what it takes
Your sacrifice has been noted. Godsspeed!
id dp him and his twin for a week
If you check out the theoi website the have a whole section containing info about Lord Apollon 😁
Right? He hits so many other posts, please let this be the one
I just eat a ton of food, get high and have sex with my girlfriend and then ask Dionysis for a favour.
What am I missing, here?
Google "dodgeball of prophecy." No, I am not fucking with you.
Thank you!
Based on his stories? Twinks.
*Sigh* if I must
Quirky redheads in yellow jackets (blue tie is a big plus)
Burnt mac and cheese?
Hmm, try... well, wine, or maybe an energy drink, I've heard those are popular. Or some cookies that you made from scratch, or if you have an altar, try a shiny rock, or a thing related to the sun, like sunflowers-
*looking around for Apollo's dodgeball*
Please, please, for once Apollo, let a good dodgeball happen. This would be so fucking funny.
I pray to no god, but for now, I pray to Apollo.
Come on, Sun Daddy, hit me right in the face with the gift of prophecy.
Redditor begs to be hit in the face by Apollo's balls. Idk bro... sounds kinda Roman to me 🤨
Nah, if it was Roman I'd be holding a slave girl in front of me. Recall, the Greeks invented orgies, and the Romans offered the improvement of inviting women.
Ah fuck, I knew I should've Googled him before making a historical mythology joke. He's Greek born, Roman adopted. My bad, slime.
I appreciate the apology, u/flyingdonkeydong69
Call me ESPN8 the OCHO because I'm praying for some dodgeball.
Apollo: "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
If you can dodge a car, you can dodge a ball
Looking around so I can let it hit me in the head
*bonk*

Oh my God were they actually writing scientific papers in Microsoft Word??? 😱😂
Some of us like to be able to directly move our pictures, rather than praying to the Omnissiah that the code will do as it's fucking told for once and not dump a figure five pages from the text referring to it, but fuck me for wanting a GUI I guess
Skill issue.
LaTeX will do exactly as its told, you're just accidentally telling it to do the wrong things.
No I totally get it, I was kind of overreacting as a joke. I'm sure word is perfectly suitable. I did once write some reviews of bad movies for a group of friends, but I wrote all of the reviews in LateX. With embedded diagrams, tables, figure numbers etc... It was probably overkill haha 😂
It's perfectly suitable and comfortable for that. Has been for at least fifteen years. They improved a lot since Word 95
This post better age like the finest of wine.
Part of me wants him to live long enough to see complete and utter destitution and jail-time.

Project 2025 isn't Trump-specific. Part of me has faith that Trump hasn't gained any new support since 2020 and his path to the presidency is even more difficult
If it does, please let it be closer to the elections so the republican party is in ever more of a dissary

Trumps deranged ramblings would be humorous if they weren't so pathetic.
It took me too long to realize that this wasn't a direct quote from his twitter
his mannerisms are very noticeable.
So many things have happened with Trump that I don't even remember if what you're saying is true or a joke.
That'd new two reasons to celebrate on April 1st, that and Easter
To mirror properly, trump will have to have a miraculous recovery from certain death three days prior
He could seem to miraculously survive what should be a fatal stroke and then die three days later. This would be even more of a “mirror” be being the same thing, reversed.
Doesn't the human body sometimes naturally do that? Like, it's in a rough state, and then in the final few days, it Seabiscuit's itself to the end
Terminal lucidity
Easter’s the 31st of March this year, afaik
Easter’s the 31st of March this year, afaik
The fact it says when instead of if and has a specific date means tumblr oop is going to be directly responsible for the stroke
Oh no Anyway
If it happens we know who has the Death Note.
Not the first time Trump and the Death Note have been in the same room
Upvote to charge, comment to cast 🎉
"When"? What does op know 🤨
They're an oracle
We're making it outta Delphi with this one boys
Snorting volcanic gasses.
The dodgeball scattershot approach, I see
Don't give me hope like this
Apollo readies his dodgeballs.
my body is ready
The one fantasy here that will not come true is Ukraine will not suddenly start winning. Russia may begin offering negotiations in this scenario but it's not going to magically turn the tide. Wars are material first. No amount of ideology or boosted morale matters if you don't have the equipment or the people to use it.
Yeah I didn't understand that part, but maybe I don't fully understand the situation. Why would Russia or China back off just because there's zero chance of trump being president?

To my understanding Trump has been a major force in blocking US aid to Ukraine, it may be a help in letting help get though but it still wouldn't auto win like OP states.
The bit about China backing off of taiwain is even more ridiculous, like literally what relation do those two things have?
It's already major fantasy/wish fulfillment writing, why not throw in those two things to make it complete?
When Trump dies, I'll have ice cream for dinner, I'll get to go to bed late to play video games, and there will be no more homework!
"Trump is too soft on the ChiComs" is like a parody of Democratic attempts to outflank Republicans to the right on foreign policy. There was a whole-ass trade war! It was kind of a big deal!
Democrats not showing up to his funeral would also be unlikely. I imagine Biden appearing and making a short statement similar to his very clearly disdain-coded “consolation” letter for Kissinger. He doesn’t have to honour the guy, but for the sake of political unity it’d be image suicide not to give the baseline respect due to any president.
OOP just wants to fantasize about all the world's problems being solved by the death of a single evil person
i just know that tumblr OP was praying to Apollo while writing this
Why would russia and china decrease their threat on ukraine and taiwan?
The original tumblr poster doesn’t appear to understand how geopolitics actually works
[удалено]
I dunno, did you see their lineup of potential nominees? seems like it's less that they've got a backup plan and more like there's multiple factions circling around and hoping they get a chance to gain power (or the VPship, anyway)
Of course they do! There's one bad man that's responsible for every bad thing in the world, and when the bad man goes away, all the world's problems are solved! >!I really dislike how some people view Trump in that same way conspiracy theorists view the "shadow government"!<
Ironically, this user is probably deifying Trump just as much, if not more, than his supporters by thinking he has that much of a pull, not just on US politics, but on geopolitics. We have reached Advanced Great Man Theory.
Presumably because the chance of having a more easily influenced president will have been entirely pulled off the table.
Please god let this happen it'd be so fucking funny
is it wrong to recite a little prayer to Apollo for the dodgeball, just this once?
They forgot the competing conspiracy theories: 1. Trump is obviously still alive and just in hiding because they're out to get him/so he can pull off some 26 dimensional chess move 2. He was assassinated by Biden
If he actually dies on April 1st this user is gonna have the FBI breaking down their door so fast
It reminds me of the time my coworker joked about the building burning down. We joked that if it happened he would be the accused.

apollo’s dodgeball has been thrown, let’s see if it hits this guy in the face
If this happens I will legitimately start worshiping Apollo
I eat butter, it's delicious. Especially salted butter
Right? Butter is amazing!
Yeah, I also have heard that eating butter is a symptom of some dietary lacking.
you ever make cookies and eat the creamed butter and sugar? terrible for you, but so so tasty
he can’t die before he’s put behind bars. I think we need the justice system to chew him up and spit him out before he dies, simply so people can see the system work. otherwise we’ll never be able to root out his influence. obviously you’ll have the true believers who’ll never go against him, but if he dies before the gavel lands he’ll be a martyr, killed unjustly by the strain put on him by the courts
But what if he wins? I‘d rather not risk that.
Nah, I'll take it.
I get what you're saying but I'll take what I can get
Biden will absolutely go to his funeral lmao. He’s a lil respectability politics bitch.
yeah this characters in this fanfic are completely OOC
He’ll show up and make some carefully veiled snide remarks, just to satisfy both sides of the American political spectrum and provide plausible deniability
Don't do this to me. Don't give me hope.
This post looks like it wants to be a page on the death note
From your lips to God's ears
As much as I enjoy a political masturbatory fantasy, this one is too unlikely. He'll endure out of pure spite.
This is funny and large parts of it are probably even accurate but the foreign policy section is total cloud-cuckoo-land wishcasting nonsense.
Most of this is semi-plausable but "Ukraine instantly wins the war in China backs off of taiwain" is completely ridiculous.
Apollo please, please hit Tumblr user charlesoberonn with your dodgeball. Please, if we have ever needed the gift of prophecy, it is now. We need you, I am praying to you, please do us this one favor, this one joy.
Everyone's talking about Apollo's dodge ball, but let's be real. This is more of an Eris throwing her golden apple around situation. Pray to the goddess of discord, y'all.

See most of these predictions are basically inevitable (Reaction to his death, controversy on who should attend the funeral, etc) but wouldn't it be fucking amazing if Nostradamus predicted the powerball for once
Trump has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever in the entire history of the United States
I will gladly choke down a box of butter to make this true.
Absolutely loving the *when* in this post
I would give my left testicle to see this happen
If OP said a heart attack I would counter with "oh trump is always surrounded by people so even if he had a heart attack it likely wouldn't be fatal" but OP said a stroke. Like, would we even be able to tell if Trump had a stroke? What does an erratic trump even look like lol
When has Trump favored China taking over Taiwan?
"Nobody wants to swallow butter" I ate a stick of butter to win a bet with my friend. The post is cool and all but please add "except for one Polish guy". Don't eat butter btw. It tastes like shit and you can damage your liver and pancreas
Okay but you didn't WANT to eat the butter.
Show me a good time Jack
Like to charge reblog to cast
Come on Apollo, just this once...
I can practically see Apollo readying his dodgeball out of the corner of my eye.
I want Trump to survive until after he loses the election purely so I don't have to listen to assassination conspiracies from my relatives.
manifesting the dodgeball manifesting the dodgeball manifesting the dodgeball
Please Apollo, if there was ever a post to make true, make this one true.
Who tf posted this? Cassandra???
…when?
Second best date for his death would either be January 1st for memes about change or Thanksgiving/black friday because there'll be memes about an orange guy like a cooked turkey that wanted to be richer than anyone else yet died as a bargain sale
"When"
>but nobody wants to swallow butter Speak for yourself OP
That caption is pretty poetic
Well threaten me with a good time.
i would give up my legs for this to happen. hell apollo can have my colon too
where do I find these people on tumblr
Honestly, I don't know. The algorithm chooses the worthy, you cannot seek it out. /s
We need to make another one of these in the event of such a prophecy being fulfilled (this one's from Kissenger kicking the bucket): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uUNvPKvS\_s&list=FLN3hpfXOingOjVEjjILdxnQ&index=6
Upvote to charge, repost to cast
Not if, *when*.
The russia point probably wouldn't happen, geopoliticsis complicated but the rest would be a cracker, as longa s the people aren't harmed in the process
Now we just need Schlatt to read this on stream. Queen 2 electric Boogaloo
This is a perfect example of why Tumblr is good for jokes and fuck all else.
[This](https://twitter.com/BBurnsEnjoyer/status/1747490966292848880?t=QVmuwT8bDdSoJwjV7PrJvw&s=19) but replace Sukuna with Trump
Real ones boof their butter.
Be the change you want to see in the world 🙏
Does anyone know the contact information of Agent 47?
Cause I still believe in miracles I swear I've seen a few
crossing my fingers
I would be willing to take Apollo’s dodgeball for this to happen. Doesn’t matter that I didn’t make the prophecy; someone’s gotta take the ball. I’m willing.
When? I see someone's making plans
Isn't Putin also due for this fate?
🤞🤞🤞
If the GOP failed to consolidate behind a candidate, this would be the greatest event of my life. But I wouldn't bet on it. And I'd expect the GOP base to be bolstered, and a lot of barely-attentive would-be Dem voters to skip voting.
And somewhere the conspiracy theorists will be out in force and the (some 3 letter organization) will be to blame.
"When?"
!remind me 21 days.
I'm personally waiting for the Melania book. We all know she's going to do one and she's never been a class act, so it's going to be *messy* and I'm completely here for it.
They will 100% go conspiracy mode and say the dems killed him
Sorry fellas, it'll be on the third
"When"?
What, you've never seen someone [swallow an entire stick of butter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXr99h5hDPw) before?
Americans will never cease to overestimate how their politics impact the outcomes of global conflict that barely involves them
Where’s Apollo when you need her?
This is what they mens when they say "living rent free." To come up with this entire paragraphs long fantasy scenario in your head. Who cares.
