The so called patriots from Bollywood have lot to answer actually for the sins of their father, grandfather or great grandfathers. We can start with Kaifi azmi, father of Shabana Azmi. He wrote poems celebrating the creation of Pakistan. By Tattvam Asi.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

A Brief History of Sati

THE LEGEND

According to Taittariya Samhita, Sati, wife of Shiva, self-immolated to protest against her father(Daksha) and uphold the honour of her husband.


There are many arguments about the origin of the Hindu practice, sati, with conflicting claims such as there is no evidence of sati in Hindu sacred texts, that it was a 'minor practice that emerged in a few parts of India, in medieval times', or how sati as a practice was mentioned in Rigveda and Atharvaveda. In this write-up, I'll attempt to provide a brief tracing of this practice in Indian history which should answer these claims.

SATI IN VEDAS

Quoting Romila Thapar from Early India: From the Origins to AD 1300

>> Curiously, in contrast to the presence of Harappan figurines, some of which may have represented deities, the Vedic texts did not attribute much power to their goddesses, who remained figures in the wings. It is thought that a widow had to perform a symbolic self-immolation at the death of her husband and this may have been a sign of status. In later centuries this was cited as the origin of the practice of becoming a sati/suttee, with a small emendation of the text, which made it possible to insist that a widow actually burn herself on her husband's funeral pyre. That the ritual was symbolic in the early period seems evident from the remarriage of widows, generally to the husband's brother - a custom referred to as niyoga or levirate.

The hymns from Rigveda (translations from Jamison) attesting to the fact that the practice was indeed meant to be symbolic and no actual sacrifice was involved are as follows:

RV: 10.18.7 These women here, non-widows with good husbands-let them, with fresh butter as ointment, approach together. Without tears, without afflictions, well-jeweled, let the wives first mount the womb.

RV: 10.18.8 "Arise women, to the world of the living. You lie beside him whose life is gone. Come here! You have come into existence now as a wife of a husband who has grasped your hand and wishes to have you."

Similar hymns from Atharvaveda are as follows:

AV: 18.3.1 This woman have chosen her husbandโ€™s world earlier. Today she is sitting besides your dead body. Now bestow upon her both wealth and offspring for rest of her life to continue her afterlife in this world.

This aforementioned speaks about continuation of worldly affairs by women in THIS world after her husbandโ€™s death, 'afterlife in this world' being the keywords.

AV: 18.3.2 *

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Great Elders' Power Levels Recalculated (Very Minor REAPER SPOILERS)

Ok the first problem with the Great Elders are that they are very, very big. Kind of like the Dreadgods but more chaotic in their shapes. I propose that rather than thinking about them as Underlord or Sage, we think of them as a bunch of Underlords stitched together (kind of like those flesh rooms in Reaper). This would mean that Orthos, for example, would find it impossible to beat Kthanikahr, the Worm Lord, because each of his worms is Underlord level (in effect, he would have to beat an Underlord army).

Note: I'm estimating Kthanikahr as Underlord because Estyr 6, who is arguably an Archlord Overlord (Overlord with Archlord Willpower; not a sage because Aslyum people can't connect to Icons/the Way/Authority), was able to defeat it by turning the mountain range it had infested into a basin. There is no way she would have been able to do the same to a bunch of Overlord Sage worms (since all Great Elders have Elder Intent/Willpower as well).

That brings us to the second problem: All Great Elders are essentially Sages and Readers, thankfully, are essentially Sages without Icons (the weakest Reader can detect significance/will/Intent inside of items like Lindon does in Reaper). The reason why Elders are so corrupting is because, even disconnected from the Void, they themselves are embodiments of undeath, worms, knowledge etc., so any working of Will they make is amplified by their Authority over said thing they embody. Even their presence corrupts: they are living Choas.

A Great Elder doesn't need to have an Archlord level of physical power to defeat an Archlord. It's the same reason why The Emperor is estimated by Will Wight to be around Sage level. Even without Authority/Icons or an Archlord level body/soulfire/madra, his Will is just so unbreakable that even Elder Intent, essentially Authority-bolstered willpower, could not break through for centuries.

Here is my final estimation:

Nakothi, The Dead Mother (Many, many Underlord-Sages. Weak because dumb.)

Othaghor

Kelarac, The Soul Collector (Overlord-Sage (Strong because smart))

Achโ€™magut (Underlord-Sage (This guy can read Fate, however, so . . .))

Urgโ€™naut (Overlord-Sage)

Tharlos

Kthanikahr (Underlord-Sage (Also dumb. He likes worms too much.))

You know what? I just realized that measuring Class 1 Choas Fiends by Cradle standards is pointless because what makes them dangerous is the Sage part, not the Underlord or Overlord or even Archlord part. They corrupt, they're basically immortal, and

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
