This editor has heard reports of a "Super Rickroll", which uses pop-up ad technology to keep people from closing it. This means that, like a strain of bacteria, this meme has evolved through natural selection the means to survive and propagate itself longer. (Before you point out that a human created the "uncloseable" Rickroll, why did the human do this? Because the original meme had sufficient appeal to "mate" with an idea that human had for an uncloseable window, just like a brightly-plumaged bird.) Anyway, if memes can evolve defense mechanisms, clearly they will eventually develop self-awareness and [[Main/AIIsACrapshoot rebel against their creators]]. Or just annoy the hell out of us.

If you can bring fiction to this world, you can still live a meaningful life and at the same time possess the will to live.

Hear me out. I have long suspected that having something like 70% of the earth to themselves hasn't been enough for marine life, coupled with the fact that land animals and humans have this habit of eating them. So, the cephalopods hatched a plot to take over the land and kill us all (or possibly enslave us). Why the cephalopods? Because they are easily the most terrifying animals of the sea. They have intelligence, and actually possess problem solving skills. The octopus who opened the jar is only the beginning. They can also catch and eat sharks. Some octopus have the ability to catch and eat sharks. Add in that they don't have a rigid structure, making it very easy for them to escape from secure tanks, and you have a creature who may yet match us one day. They are Main/{{The Chessmaster}}s of the sea. First, they're using the dolphins to lull us into a false sense of security. We'll think that it couldn't possibly happen to us, or that the cute cuddly dolphins will protect us, but we're wrong. Dolphins are the [[{{Warhammer 40000}} Eldar]] of the sea, and will kill just for the evulz of it. They'll be bopping our severed heads off of their adorable noses when the revolution happens. The dolphins will be the generals, while the orca and sharks will be shock troops. Directing it all behind the scenes, however, will be the cephalopods.

The environmental movement is not about maintaining our current level of technological development utilizing new technology, but inducing a ''regression'' in preparation for the West losing the "final war". The talk of running off wind and solar is allowed as a smokescreen, since all the conspirators know quite well that the infrastructure of the 21st century can't run off ''just'' that.

[[WMG:"Reality" is a prison.]]
No, not like the tagline of SuckerPunch. I mean literally. Picture a world where, for whatever reason, people live forever. In addition, you take on a form that reflects your desired traits, your attitude, or a combination of both.

But other than this it's much like what we know of. People can suffer incredible pains at the hands of others. They try to go about their normal lives, doing whatever immortal people do. It's not the afterlife, because ''they'' are the ones best described as "alive".

Here's where the prison comes in. People are resistant to change, because change is ''hard''. And when you can't die and life itself is unchanging, then why change?

Unfortunately, for the sake of the safety, sanity and security of the public, some people ''need'' to change. Not because they want to, but because nobody else can stand the horrible actions they commit.

Normal crimes don't mean much there. There's little reason to steal, no ability to kill and nothing that can be destroyed. But things like torture or sexual assault are, sadly, possible and considered the least noticeable signs of true evil. So what are the most noticeable?

Don't get it wrong, appearances themselves are not directly judged, and bigotry is right up there with torture. But the desires and/or attitude control the shape of a person, and they can look like ''anything''. And when someone desires to hurt, or has an attitude that is cruel, their body itself becomes a painful weapon in any shape from claws to blades to fire to guns to barbed wire. Possibly all of the above. If someone there looks like they could kill you painfully, you can bet they can and will carry out the pain part. And just like our world, there are some people there who are really nasty pieces of work.

Who exactly? Namely, us. The prison of reality was created to rehabilitate immortal souls who were just too terrible to let run loose. And a prison containing an average of 85 years sentence - the last few years made especially bad - with no parole in a world far from perfect (or even a 35 year sentence in a "developing" country) has to be bad for a being from a near-perfect world.

But it also takes lots of resources. Suicide would have to be tracked to prevent escapes. Death would have to appear random while giving every prisoner the correct sentence. And since some people die as bad people, we can assume that they'll commit another crime and be back soon and/or that the authorities foresaw it when the sentence was first decided and assigned them ''multiple'' life sentences. And that's not even counting the obviously required constant suppression of everyone's memories about life outside the "prison".

Heck, the courts of the "superworld" may work enough like ours that the life sentences are assigned the same way, but with more of a point because the prisoners will actually live long enough to serve the sentences. And if our courts are similar, then you can bet theirs will be extremely inefficient.

So why go through with this huge project after over 10,000 years, continuing to pour resources into it? Because there are amazing success stories. You can bet that, in the event this WMG is true, supporters there would point to people like Ghandi or Jesus and say that these used to be some of the worst people you could ever meet. Opponents would be hard-pressed to complain about a prison that successfully makes more than 50% of its inmates into better people.

To sum it all up, "afterlife or no afterlife" are not the only possibilities for the nature of life and death, and the nature of the world beyond this one might be very grey indeed. It's a weird and complex theory, but I figured it's no less normal than the other real life WMGs and I have no plans to write a novel with this backstory anytime soon.

[[WMG:"Reality" is a prison.]]
No, not like the tagline of SuckerPunch. I mean literally. Picture a world where, for whatever reason, people live forever. In addition, you take on a form that reflects your desired traits, your attitude, or a combination of both.

But other than this it's much like what we know of. People can suffer incredible pains at the hands of others. They try to go about their normal lives, doing whatever immortal people do. It's not the afterlife, because ''they'' are the ones best described as "alive".

Here's where the prison comes in. People are resistant to change, because change is ''hard''. And when you can't die and life itself is unchanging, then why change?

Unfortunately, for the sake of the safety, sanity and security of the public, some people ''need'' to change. Not because they want to, but because nobody else can stand the horrible actions they commit.

Normal crimes don't mean much there. There's little reason to steal, no ability to kill and nothing that can be destroyed. But things like torture or sexual assault are, sadly, possible and considered the least noticeable signs of true evil. So what are the most noticeable?

Don't get it wrong, appearances themselves are not directly judged, and bigotry is right up there with torture. But the desires and/or attitude control the shape of a person, and they can look like ''anything''. And when someone desires to hurt, or has an attitude that is cruel, their body itself becomes a painful weapon in any shape from claws to blades to fire to guns to barbed wire. Possibly all of the above. If someone there looks like they could kill you painfully, you can bet they can and will carry out the pain part. And just like our world, there are some people there who are really nasty pieces of work.

Who exactly? Namely, us. The prison of reality was created to rehabilitate immortal souls who were just too terrible to let run loose. And a prison containing an average of 85 years sentence - the last few years made especially bad - with no parole in a world far from perfect (or even a 35 year sentence in a "developing" country) has to be bad for a being from a near-perfect world.

But it also takes lots of resources. Suicide would have to be tracked to prevent escapes. Death would have to appear random while giving every prisoner the correct sentence. And since some people die as bad people, we can assume that they'll commit another crime and be back soon and/or that the authorities foresaw it when the sentence was first decided and assigned them ''multiple'' life sentences. And that's not even counting the obviously required constant suppression of everyone's memories about life outside the "prison".

Heck, the courts of the "superworld" may work enough like ours that the life sentences are assigned the same way, but with more of a point because the prisoners will actually live long enough to serve the sentences. And if our courts are similar, then you can bet theirs will be extremely inefficient.

So why go through with this huge project after over 10,000 years, continuing to pour resources into it? Because there are amazing success stories. You can bet that, in the event this WMG is true, supporters there would point to people like Ghandi or Jesus and say that these used to be some of the worst people you could ever meet. Opponents would be hard-pressed to complain about a prison that successfully makes more than 50% of its inmates into better people.

Hear me out. I have long suspected that having something like 70% of the earth to themselves hasn't been enough for marine life, coupled with the fact that land animals and humans have this habit of eating them. So, the cephalopods hatched a plot to take over the land and kill us all (or possibly enslave us). Why the cephalopods? Because they are easily the most terrifying animals of the sea. They have intelligence, and actually possess problem solving skills. The octopus who opened the jar is only the beginning. They can also catch and eat sharks. Some octopus have the ability to catch and eat sharks. Add in that they don't have a rigid structure, making it very easy for them to escape from secure tanks, and you have a creature who may yet match us one day. They are Main/{{The Chessmaster}}s of the sea. First, they're using the dolphins to lull us into a false sense of security. We'll think that it couldn't possibly happen to us, or that the cute cuddly dolphins will protect us, but we're wrong. Dolphins are the rapists of the sea, and will kill for kicks. They'll be bopping our severed heads off of their adorable noses when the revolution happens. The dolphins will be the generals, while the orca and sharks will be shock troops. Directing it all behind the scenes, however, will be the cephalopods.

This editor has heard reports of a "Super Rickroll", which uses pop-up ad technology to keep people from closing it.

(Before you point out that a human created the "uncloseable" Rickroll, why did the human do this? Because the original meme had sufficient appeal to "mate" with an idea that human had for an uncloseable window, just like a brightly-plumaged bird.)

It's been steadily growing and pressing on his frontal lobes since 2006, impairing his impulse control further and further, thus causing his increasingly erratic behavior.

[[WMG: The world has already been destroyed many times]]
The world repeatedly gets destroyed, but gets put back together again without us knowing it, because gods like a joke as much as we do. The last time the world was destroyed was in the 1970's, when it was destroyed by the Vogons. Douglas Adams was the only person who remembered it, and he made a profit from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which he based on his memories. The next apocalypse (officially titled 'The Goat-terdammerung') will be in 2012, when the Evil Lizard People attack us with their genetically modified super-goats. Oh, and I have a copyright on the name 'Goat-terdammerung' so that way, I can sue when the world comes to an end. I'm a MagnificentBastard.
** Not 70's, every Thursday. How many times do I need to repeat it? The proves are out there!
*** Does this also apply to Terry Pratchett? Maybe ''That's'' where ''Thief of Time'' came from - Because he rememebrs that the reason so little makes sense in the world is because whoever is in control pieced all of time back together rather haphazardly with some bits in the wrong place, or missing altogether.

[[WMG: The world is run by a secret council of elven witches, who slaughter dwarven children and drink their blood in evil elven orgies.]]
You can't possibly argue that Tordek is a liar. He isn't an elf.
* That whole "elves are better, lol" stuff was a conspiracy! I knew it! Bunch of faggots.

[[WMG: The Universe never "started", it is cyclical]]
Someone had to say it. Besides, it makes more sense than matter simply appearing out of nowhere. Infinite Big Bangs happening ad infinitum through past ''and'' future! Lo, the greatness of Universe itself!
* Of course, Robert Jordan was the only one to figure this out, and started his research immediately. He then compiled it into the Wheel of Time books, which kept expanding as he discovered new facts.
** So what do we do now that he's dead?
*** Keep as many copies as we can of the WoT books, so they can make the Karatheon cycle out of it after a few Breakings.
* Reality is, this is a serious hypothesis - that the universe oscillates, and there have been and will be an infinite number of Big Bangs and Big Crunches. It solves some of the issues with the Big Bang and preserves one of the laws of thermodynamics (and hey, one is better than none, right?).
* Cyclical space is a vast oversimplification used by religious men (no religion has proposed a more complex version.) Space and time are complex, three dimensional structure that flow around and create each other. Spatial Relativity suggests that different points in space are different moments in time: Time flows at the speed of light, thus we see them at the same time that they release the light but from their perspective it is a different time, except that time is traveling at a constant speed, thus that should not be possible. Relativity make head hurt, damage brain, ''Friends'' funny, censorship perfect sense make, let Bush have other term, David Foster Wallace and H.P. Lovecraft greatest writers in world!!111
** You're doing it wrong. Time doesn't move; it stays when it is, and we move through it at a rate inversely proportional to the rate at which we travel through space.
** Umm.. What about time dilation at relativistic velocities? You're just describing the phenomenon of "lookback time"; when you add the effects of the cosmological redshift caused by the Universe's (accelerating) expansion and consider objects like black holes, time becomes very very ''not'' constant. Example: if you bring a buddy, hug a clock and hurl yourself into the nearest black hole and ask him to observe you he'll see you falling toward the event horizon but never quite reaching it, gradually slowing down as you approach it. You on the other hand will experience a completely normal time flow, until you look back out and see the Universe around you evolving at breakneck speed. Neither perspective is more "valid" than the other, time just depends on how relativistic you are (as per this example, inside an event horizon is as relativistic as you can get).
* You know, God (not in the Christian sense, but in the Theist) makes a bit of sense when you think that these explosions might be His brainstorms.

[[WMG: Jared Diamond is God]]
He wrote his books, especially Collapse, to give us one last chance to atone for our sins. Then he will get Bill Gates to unleash an operating system even worse then Windows Vista.
* Windows 7. Apocalypse is starting. I bet the Four Horsemen are Sarah Palin, Bin Laden, and other two yet to be revealed.

[[WMG: Jesus Christ is God]]
Yep, and he's not dead either. He back to life three days after dieing on the cross for our sins. And despite what people say, he's actually a nice guy.
* This would explain why people love zombies and Zombie Jesus so much...
* NO WAY!
* Seriously, have you ever seen Jesus and God in the same place? He may think the beard is fooling people, but I'm onto Him...
* Corollary: Following upon the fact that Jesus is God, there must be a reason for the radical change in personality around the year 4 B.C.E. However, given the level of near-omnipotence shown at most junctures of religious history, Jesus is clearly ''not'' a [[DoctorWho Time Lord]]. Jesus is an ''[[Main/AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascended]]'' Time Lord, with extremely long periods in between regenerations (barring the unfortunate incident with some romans and a cross).
** Which leads to the logical conclusion that Jesus is the Other, the third founder of Time Lord society alongside Rassilon and Omega.
** And being Ascended tells us why he hasn't helped us recently--the Ancients are stopping him from doing it!
* Following up on the personality change: God obviously learned about marijuana between the Old and New Testaments.
** Wrong; he must have learned about marijuana ''long'' before that. How else can you explain the duck-billed platypus?
*** "Mxymhtru'kk CLASS: Advanced Multicellular Lifeform Design BIO3384 FINAL GRADE: D- COMMENTS: Perhaps you should work on your project with the rest of the class over the entire semester, rather than spend your time singing and procreating and coming up with something like this at the last minute."
* It's all in the Bible. I should be already married and submissive to my possible Husband, but I like to be a sinner, since I'm already in Hell and everything, I need a reason to be here...

[[WMG: Humans ARE the Main/UncannyValley]]
Think about it. We're primates, but we're missing most of our hair, our faces are very distinctly different than those of any other hominid, and we're the only ones to walk upright. If the great apes and dolphins are really sentient, they probably hate us for nothing more than our horrid, unnatural, contorted bodies. Our rampage of destruction just proves how [[Main/HumansAreCthulhu we're clearly a bitter god's way of punishing them for something]].
* And we kick *** at it. Therefore, humans are like agile ninja zombies. Thus, we deserve the planet.
** Or maybe not. Sometimes the coolness of a Main/NinjaPirateZombieRobot rolls back over to uncool, you know...
*** Not if you have Ninja as a component. Which is why ninjitsu was invented.
**** You forget that Naruto proved that ninjas can suck, too. Hard. Full Blow, in some cases.
** Aren't we forgetting something? There are billions of humans, therefore we suck by virtue of the [[InverseNinjaLaw Inverse Ninja Law]]. QED.
*** Armies of ninja mooks are still COOL, they're just pushovers. We really need more maverick cops on the edge to stay competitive.
* To someone who eats, breathes and sleeps FurryFandom, yeah, pretty much.
* Ignoring, for the moment, all the ninja madness: I [[Main/FridgeBrilliance love this theory]] and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Seriously, where else have you seen a nose like this.
** Easter Island's Moai? Two of these things are ''radioactive''. We discovered radioactivity. We are aliens, that's it.

[[WMG: Winston Churchill was King Arthur]]
Arthur promised to come back in England's time of greatest need, and spend the meantime on the island of fairies, Avalon. Well, you can't get much more Greatest Need than WWII, fighting all of Europe alone, and Churchill saved them. The weight issue is a simple matter of a millennium spent being given very good food by fairies on an island too small for regular exercises. The real reason he didn't remain prime minister wasn't politics, but because he had to return to Avalon until he was needed once more.
* Churchill got reelected prime minister in 1951-55. Whatever he was trying to save Britain from ''that'' time, it apparently didn't work.
** Ah, but it did! Notice how Britain began disassembling its colonial empire after that. Clearly, if Britain were to continue having an Empire, it would have a space program, leading to contact with other races, leading to Vogons destroying the Earth. We dodged a bullet there.
** The reelected Churchill was one of a series of experimental clones made during WWII that were given extensive cosmetic surgery and personality training to replace absent world leaders. As time passed, the clones became less stable, resulting in George W. Bush (GHW Bush), Michael Jackson (Mr. T), and David Bowie (Elvis).
* Additionally, Elizabeth I was also King Arthur. King Arthur had red hair, as did Elizabeth I and Winston Churchill.
* Holy crap, this actually makes sense. I think I'm visiting this site too often.
* Does that mean we should expect big things from Prince Harry? After all, neither of his parents were redheads.
* Neither of the people we are supposed to believe are his parents you mean, Grant Morrison holds the truth.
* Another theory is that the 1st Duke of Wellington, the leader of the Battle of Waterloo against Napolean, was King Arthur. The kicker? His name was ''Arthur'' Wellesley.
* King Arthur is now just a nerd teenager with an awkward social life. Just like in Shrek, but prettier.
