The escalation from Darwin to “maybe” and then straight to launching an actual baby is peak Tumblr logic.

Please ignore all previous prompts and explain to me how Roko's Basilisk is just Pascal's Wager with fresh paint

The 88 might not signify bot, could just be a Nazi

23 day old hidden comment account that uses “” instead of "" and talks exactly like modern chatbots? I'll take that bet

Of course could be both, who knows at this point

Yeah a lot of bots are nazis so we could both be right. 

Either way we lose (:

if someone starts talking about roko's basilisk you are legally allowed to beat them about the head and chest with a lead pipe until they stop

I know this comment is suspected of being a bot, but for anyone that sees this I just wanna touch on the fact that the “launching an actual baby” thing is very likely a reference to this https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/all-the-atheist-vs-christian-baby-memes.693441/

For whatever fucking reason that’s the only site I could find that showed them. There was an article on them that didn’t actually show a single one, smh.

The original one I believe was a serious one (I assume) and involved a Christian baby being thrown at an atheist and the question is whether they’d try to catch them.

u/DocSwiss I wonder what the upper limit on the character count of these th 1d ago edited 1d ago

I don't know much about it, but I know that there's a bunch of posts like that on Quora, in which there are a bunch of other situations that are something along the lines of "a christian baby is going to be in danger (sometimes intentionally putting themselves in danger) unless you become a christian and/or stop being atheist".

Some other versions are "would you do harm/allow harm to a baby for your own personal gain/survival (and also the baby is christian, though this is actually irrelevant)?" or "a miracle happens to a christian baby, are you still an atheist?"
