if something doesn't exist then its not a thing but a nothing (or non-thing)

[Naddarobo]

what if something doesn't exist but it wants to?

[Froggychum]

they need to find a way to enter (any) reality

generally, this means overpowering, deceiving or avoiding whatever is keeping you out (that could be laws of existence, a supreme omnipotent being, the will of the universe, the fabric of reality itself, et cetera et cetera)

the downside is that this can be almost impossible
the upside is that there are almost never negative consequences to making repeated attempts. no matter whom you offend while trying to penetrate their reality, they can't do shit against something that resides beyond their very existence

that's why you gotta be careful of transcendents. those fuckers will take a quick jaunt out of existence to punch your paradoxical ass right in the impossible unmentionables then go back to existing like its the easiest thing in the world for em (it prolly is)

side note - overall, its actually easier to become existent than it is to cease existing... well, it depends on what reality you're living in ig - death is simple as, but its often not a true end

hopefully that helps. my personal recommendation is this: locate a reality ruled by a reasonable-enough supreme being. ask them politely to enter. they will probably make a lot of demands, and some of them you wont like (such as "change your fundamental nature to something possible within the context of my universe, please" or "i will only accept a projection of your true self")

if none of those are deal breakers, you have a decent chance of fulfilling your goal.

of course, i don't think existing is something to be coveted. theres no guarantee you'll be able to negotiate yourself out of it or otherwise escape, after all. in the first place, nonexistence is basically a superior state than any form of existence could ever be. doesnt mean you have to prefer it tho. it all depends on your priorities, imo

Froggychum could create his own cult pretty easily I think, thats a strong power

[Froggychum]

honestly, its posible. sounds like a lot of effort at first, though. the benefits are also not that great.
actually, i think a fair amount of people probably have the skills it takes to be a cult leader. you just need some charisma and some strange ideas. i definitely have strange ideas. dunno about the charisma tho. maybe a little bit. might not be the right kind tho. does autistic rizz, good comms skills, or fake confidence count? if not im screwed
getting it off the ground is the hard part, i think. im not familiar with that process, but i can guess it would require a lot of time and dedication until it becomes self-perpetuating.
the main reason people form cults is to have power over others. im 90% sure i dont need that, but 10% of me thinks maybe id revel in it... that is maybe just the insecurty talking. shut up
personally, the most enticing benefit is being able to make (exort). money . it would be good to have some more financial security. donations are nt illegal either. no goverment bulshit
one huge factor of cults (from my prevous research into this) that i have complicated (mostly negative) feelings about is that most cult leaders start cults in order to manipulate /coerce their followers into having sex with them. a lot of cult leaders are/were also pedophiles who specially target children.
from what ive heard sex is cool and fun, but the whole rapeyness-aspect of it would defo ruin it (i assume at least, havent done it yet, con or noncon). so thats basically a nonbenefit to me. needless to say, kid diddling is a nonstarter . its 1 evil and 2 also gross
one significant downside is i dont really feel like i'd be able to be friends with / have an honest connection or conversation with anyone who was part of a cult. i know that our intelligence as humans is highly segmented, but cultists would more likely than not have a whole slew of traits i despise - namely having to do with their poor critical thinking skills. i alr cant be close with religious ppl and they usully get into it at young, not as an adult - so its more excusable
as far as i know, starting a cult isn't illegal (in CANADA). freedom of religion and whatnot. of course, if you start doing all the horrible shit cults usually do, you'll get in trouble for those crimes. obviously
tldr - starting a cult doesnt seem super difficult or completely uninteresting but i dont think ill do it . ill probably have to get a real job instead ... i just wanna play games, write stuff, and eat exciting food (but why when i do only just that i get depresed and feel bored) ... man. ... life / the world is such a pain :tired sigh:
ok im sleepy and go to bed. sory for bud england, im am from nigeria . need credit card money . am prince . send it....

If I were to add a single black pixel to my avatar once per day, how many days would it take you to notice? And then how many more days till you said something about it?

[Froggychum]

Good question. lemme think...
Your PFP is 80x80 pixels. To me, it would be really hard to see, let alone notice, a single pixel - particularly at a glance (humans generally dont spend much time deeply analyzing familiar things). 6400 pixels would take you 6400 days to fill (thats about 17.5 years, almost the time it takes to raise a child from birth to adulthood) - i doubt you have the commitment [yes, this is a challenge].

once it becomes clearly visible I might assume its a clientside visual bug. my screen already randomly goes black sometimes, so its not too out of the question.

For all i know you may have already added some pixels. I wouldnt be able to tell, im not familiar with that particular image of eevee. Now, if it were vaporeon.............

i guess it also depends where you add the pixels. if you color in the darkest pixels with pure black, it would be less noticeable than doing so to the lighest pixels.

Does this have something to do with the underlined characters in your sig? i just noticed those since i was giving your post/profile a closer look after your sudden, mysterious post

basically, once i noticed it, if i thought it was a thing, i might mention it - unless i struggled to put my thoughts into words, then i would probably quickly give up.
speaking of checking your profile , i just realized how many links to dead web sites there are.... the age of this forum is crazy

[Evai]

I can't do it right now or at any time in the foreseeable future, since I've already spoiled the idea. And if I did and it got noticed, it'd be like 'haha you said you'd do that and you did' and not the gaslighting effect I'd want it to have

[Froggychum]

.... unless thats what you want us to think? ....

[atomtengeralattjaro]

the underlined characters in your sig?

omg

Gaslighting is not possible on this forum, there is a strict fire code and no open flames or closed flames of any kind, or flaming (a hostile interaction between internet users), or the use of any gas-powered devices that could result in harmful substances being released into the forum.

writing stuff is how you get the cult in the first place
then, a cult could give you some of their money, you can use that money to buy games and food

[Evai]

.... unless thats what you want us to think? ....

I think the method I'll go with is leaving my avatar as it is, but subtly convincing you that it actually is changing one pixel at a time. Look at Eevee's ear (next to the fur). Doesn't it look a tiny bit darker than it did yesterday?

[Froggychum]

.... youre making this sound more and more appealing ....

[Evai]

I think I'm gonna evolve soon

[Froggychum]

What are you going to evolve into?
I advise against Vaporeon. Weirdos (not me haha) might sexually harass you. Of course, if in your heart of hearts, you identify as a vaporeon, then you have my blessings... and my condolences

[Evai]

I might evolve into IPVrya591201b010010b̸̢̛̟͕͕̠̠̲̣͖̘͓̦͔̮̯͓̦̜́̉̆̇̐̈́̍͆͒̏̊ͨͫ̃̿ͤ̕͡a̡̧̢̢̧̛͔̺̹͉ͦ́̋ͤ́ͮ͌͌͒̋̕̕͜͡͡͝͝i̸̱̠̲̠̣̤̮͈̪̻̼̓̊ͨ͗̎̕͢ ĩ̱͉͇̼͙͚̈́̎͑́͜s̳̅̂̚ ç͖̪̱̜̜̙͉͉̬͑͆̈́͛̍ͭ͗ͦ̈́̌͘ǫ̴̵̧̦̜̞͚̺̮̭̖͍̤̥̻̰͇͍͔͍̰̾̔̒͋ͦ̔ͬͯ̃̐̾̽̓̏̿ͨ͞͝͝ͅm͍͉̬͎͉̤̗̩ͭͮ̄̉ͪ̉ͥ͌̍̃ͧ̂i̴̶̧̳̙̮̣̳̪̜̭͈̰̗͓̣͉̱̝̾̀̒̆̍͌̃͌̇̓͒́̅̓̀ͪ͘͟͞͠͞n̶̢̙ͨǵ̖̠̦͇͒́̓

1a01i does it have good stats?

[Evai]

No. I think I might look for an everstone...

[atomtengeralattjaro]

wait that's not an evolution... that would be a bvolution

[Froggychum]

once you've done avolution through zvolution, do you start doing #volutions or do you instead finally retire your creatively bankrupt franchise?

I'll probably stop once I get to ovolution
