Frashokereti Puns

I have long advocated for the idea that this Azor Ahai guy is bad news for everyone uninterested in burning to death, and more support for the idea can be found in the Zoroastrian doctrine of the Frashokereti, or "the Restoration." This is in many ways the inspiration for subsequent eschatological doctrines in Christianity and Islam about "final battles between Good and Evil" and "purification of the world." Zoroastrianism as a whole is also hugely influential on the portrayal of R'hllorism in the books. I might do a deeper dive later but there's already a lot of other analysis I need to finish so this'll be a quick overview of the relevant Wikipedia. I've highlighted a few aspects that seem particularly notable for ASOIAF.

>The eschatological ideas are only alluded to in the surviving texts of the Avesta, and are known of in detail only from the texts of Zoroastrian tradition, in particular in the ca. 9th-century Bundahishn. The accompanying story, as it appears in the Bundahishn (GBd 30.1ff), runs as follows:[1] At the end of the "third time" (the first being the age of creation, the second of mixture, and the third of separation), there will be a great battle between the forces of good (the yazatas) and those of evil (the daevas) in which the good will triumph. On earth, the Saoshyant will bring about a resurrection of the dead in the bodies they had before they died. This is followed by a last judgment through ordeal. The yazatas Airyaman and Atar will melt the metal in the hills and mountains, and the molten metal will then flow across the earth like a river. All mankind—both the living and the resurrected dead—will be required to wade through that river, but for the righteous (ashavan) it will seem to be a river of warm milk, while the wicked will be burned. The river will then flow down to hell, where it will annihilate Angra Mainyu and the last vestiges of wickedness in the universe. In later Zoroastrian texts, it is written that the molten metal will purify the wicked.[3]

>The narrative continues with a projection of Ahura Mazda and the six Amesha Spentas solemnizing a final act of worship (yasna), and the preparation of parahaoma from "white haoma". The righteous will partake of the parahaoma, which will confer immortality upon them. Thereafter, humankind will become like the Amesha Spentas, living without food, without hunger or thirst, and without weapons (or possibility of bodily injury). The material substance of the bodies wi

When the first responders brought me back to life, I was distraught. The amount of pills I swallowed should have killed me, I had no idea why I was awake in the hospital room.

After months of therapy I learned something came back with me. I could change things around me, warp reality in a way I liked. I could rerun my favorite program on the television if I missed it, I could alter the menu in the cafeteria if I didn’t like the food, I could force a homework assignment to finish itself, with perfect accuracy.

At first I thought I was crazy, delusions of grandeur and all that. But I made subtle changes that other people would notice, just to prove to myself it wasn’t all in my head.

So I came up with a plan. I wanted to purge evil from this world, stop anyone from ever entering the dark place I was in months before. If I could use this weird power to help people, that would be at least ONE good thing I’ve done with my life.

It would’ve been better if the pills worked. For me and everyone on Earth.

I didn’t purge evil from the world, I split it in two. There’s a ‘Good’ world, full of sunshine, relative peace, no major illness or violence.

But there’s also a ‘Bad’ world. Accessible only by what used to be known as sleep. When one falls asleep in the ‘Good’ world, they wake up in the ‘Bad’ world, where they must survive for twelve hours, after which they can fall back asleep and wake up in the ‘Good’ world again.

Where the ‘Good’ world is good, the ‘Bad’ world is, well, bad. The sun never shines, no stars can be seen, dark creatures lurk overgrown buildings and attack anyone they can find, tearing them apart and slowly as possible. Various cults formed in the ‘Bad’ world, some devoted to putting the world back to the way it was, others embracing the new duality of good and bad, hoping to serve others in the ‘Good’ world, while ravishing innocents in the ‘Bad’ world.

I’ve endured for years. Whatever powers I had I exhausted trying to purge ‘Bad’ concepts from the world, so I can’t put it back together again. Since the concept of sleep is a distant memory, it feels like I’ve been awake for one really really long day.

Nobody knows this is my fault, I act just as clueless as they do when we discuss why this happened. I have a small band of survivors in the ‘Bad’ world, where we work to protect the weak from the demons. In the ‘Good’ world, I just try to keep myself from enjoying anything, knowing it’s all my fault.

Power without intel

Did Zarathushtra imply that the universe is dying? Look at this verse from Yasna 30:9 (translated by UTA):

"Therefore, may we be the ones who would make existence vibrant"

To make something vibrant must mean that that thing was dying. If this is true, Zarathushtra predicted the death of the universe, which the Second Law of Thermodynamics predicts.

What are your beliefs? What have you read or your family told you about it?

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.

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Gender is fluid.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

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!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

But let me give it a shot.

And now I’m cannelloni

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
