I'm confused why there is a plate involved at all.

For info, AI is an initialism, not an acronym. Acronyms are pronounced like words (NASA, NATO), whereas initialisms are just the letters (AI, FBI).

It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Depends on your particular brand of cult. The Jehovah's Witness in my work doesn't consume any non-approved secular media, so pagan stuff would be out of the question. He doesn't listen to music or read books apart from the bible and books about the bible from JW perspective. Has seen Terminator 2, randomly.
