There's a special place in hell for people who ruin a book for a meme.

Is basically the same place where the deep-shit who burned books are roasted inside boilers. But you just stay outside, tied to a confortable door watching them burn from porthole of the hatch. Then once in a while a big green like button lit up and a steam of vapor boils your face.

Mass printed paperbacks aren’t sacred texts. Everyone should feel free to write on them, highlight them, cut them apart, paint on them, and make art with them. Especially books made by a trash bigot.

What if it's a copy of Atlas Shrugged or Mein Kompf?

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or, you know, Harry Potter

I like the Bible as a light napkin material

[–] pticrix@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

The light paper feels so nice, but it really lacks in absorbance.

Mmm... ok... then he sit a bit backwards and the steam cook a chicken instead of his face. But he's hungry, and can't reach the chicken.

History of evil is something we need as well. If nothing as an example of what we can become if we didn't keep our shit in check.

What if they burned my phone full of ebooks and I'm slightly inconvienced and rather annoyed in the moment because I was in the middle of a good book?

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Then he's tied in a chair next to the guy, but the sit lay to the side and his face is close to the floor. A small pod of chicken grease oil is close to him. At first he's a bit disgusted, but then the hunger kicks in and he say "whatever" and start licking it.

Book could have already been damaged to be fair. Does it matter if it’s just ruining it more?

[–] comador@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I dog ear every book I read.

There's a special place in hell for people who ruin a book for a meme.

your enthusiasm for protecting books is commendable, but not all books deserve your reverence. Mein Kampf comes to mind, and some more recent books that only spread hate and prejudice.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have you ever read a Clive Cussler novel? That shit is everywhere and they're objectively terrible. I would not shed a single tear for the smug fuck who wrote them if all his books got bean stains on them.

I like Clive Cussler novels and I still agree with you, lol. They're stupid fun, a cross between James Bond and Indiana Jones but not quite as good as either.

Looks like it might be AI to me. Check the right hand and the bit of book near it. Also, most of the words are illegible and have that telltale AI smear.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is AI psychosis in the opposite direction.

Same with wasting food.

I had a lot of nose bleeds as a kid, so my sister would never let me borrow her books because I'd always give them back with drops of blood on random pages.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

it's just because you were growing your brain with all that knowledge.

she was just jealous and didn't want you to get smarter than her.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I do just fine with an e-reader. keep the classy pinky up and clear for page turning cleanly

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is a first edition of Harry Potter actually valuable?

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Iirc, the first few are 10k and up for actual first prints. The first one had like 500 printed only. After the third or so, they become much less valuable.

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 month ago

Contrariwise there is a certain synergy being a book boy and bidet boy

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

Sometimes when I do this, I imagine an archaeologist finding my book millennia from now and surmising my diet from the accidental smears.

“We have found that Canadians circa 2000-2050 enjoyed a diet that included tangerines and microwave burritos”

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

It's easier, just glue the already read pages with chicken, euh, gluyey.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 1 month ago

I'm sure you simply missed it and this is just a mistake but this was already posted on lemmy. Please be more careful in the future.
