Egyptian mythology includes the idea that the universe was created when the god Atum ejaculated through masturbation. Even the ebb and flow of the Nile was thought to be caused by Atum's ejaculation. This concept spurred Egyptian pharaohs to ritually masturbate into the Nile to ensure an abundance of water.

[–]petzl20 6 points7 points ago

Besides demigod jizz, there's a lot worse things in the Nile (eg, bilharzia, which you contract just by bathing in it).

Also toothpick fish Shudders... Toothpick fish seek out an oraphis, most likely the urethr on males), stick themselves into it, and eject spikes into the flesh, rooting itself there

Saying the Nile is full of jizz is like saying that space is full of stars.

1 drop per infinite amount of water? But everytime you look, jizz is all you see?

"Excuse me gentlemen, I must be off to perform my civic duty. It's 1:30 pm and I don't want to offend the Gods."

But holy shit, humanity. We really thought the best explanation for the ebb and flow of the Nile was deity ejaculate?! I know most religions are patriarchal but you don't have to be so obvious.

Are you a pearl diver? Have you read Chuck Palahniuk's short story Guts?

WARNING The linked short story is very graphic. I do not want to be down voted because it upset your delicate sensibilities. It probably belongs in WTF. This story was read while promoting one of his books on a college tour. Allegedly many audience members passed out at the reading.

[–]4thekarma 4 points5 points ago

That story... is great. You should send it to WTF if it hasn't already been there.

[–]Rolston 1 point2 points ago

I'm glad I finally got somebody to read it. I've never had such a visceral reaction to text.

Oh god muffins the flashbacks from Palahniuk reading it live...! D:

[–]Cellophane_Girl 1 point2 points ago

I quite enjoyed that story. Thank you for sharing. I agree you should attempt at posting it over at WTF.

[–]NichaelBluth 2 points3 points ago

"Atum was creative in that he proceeded to masturbate himself in Heliopolis. He took his penis in his hand so that he might obtain the pleasure of orgasm thereby." When we studied this in Mythology, not only did Atum masturbate into his hand, he then ate it then spit it out to create his children, the gods Shu and Tefnut. Tefnut, the god of moisture, dew, rain etc., is etymologically derived from the word which means to spit.

[–]Rolston 0 points1 point ago

I thought we got the term nuts from Tefnut as well. The rest of your description directly follows the phrase you quoted.

[–]NichaelBluth 1 point2 points ago

According to Oxford, nut is derived from the "Old English hnutu, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch noot and German Nuss."

[–]Rolston 0 points1 point ago

Straight forward enough. Thanks for the lesson!

[–]stray1ight 4 points5 points ago

Is it bad that I know this from Snow Crash?

[–]antonivs 1 point2 points ago

I think Snow Crash was talking about the Sumerian god, Enki. The Egyptians were a bit later, and may very well have been influenced by Sumerian mythology.

[–]stray1ight 1 point2 points ago

Stephenson was 100% talking about Enki; I kind of assumed the Egyptians co-opted a lot of the Sumerian mythology like Christendom did with Pagan rituals.

[–]antonivs 0 points1 point ago

That's probably true, but no-one has written a scifi/cyberpunk book about it yet, so we can't be sure!

[–]trlababalan 1 point2 points ago

That IS how the Universe came. No denial about it.

[–]Rolston 1 point2 points ago

If you haven't read the story you should. It is pretty fantastic. This god spits in his hand turning it into a vulva. Then he drinks his...

I would finish if it weren't for the fact that I've had others downvote everything I've ever submitted for offending them once today. Here's a link, Google Books Greek and near Eastern Mythology

Im from Egypt. My grandparents never bother to buy water, instead, we drink tap water which comes from the Nile River. Excuse me while I go vomit...

I'm not sure if you read the rest of the story, but Atum eventually vomits...

[–]Cruchto 0 points1 point ago

I didn't read anything. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to Egyptian mythology. Man my Ancestors would come up with the most interesting shit.

[–]CaptainFiddlebottom 1 point2 points ago

If I remember correctly this goes even farther back to the Sumerian god Enki.

I'd be interested if you have a particular book or story to suggest. If not I can always use the internet to find something.

Best quote from this scene:

"I like masturbating. It keeps me sane. I'm a good citizen, I'm a good father, I recycle, and I masturbate. And I'm proud of it, and God's happy! And later, I'm gonna masturbate, and I'm gonna think about you. And there's nothing you can do about it."

---Louis C.K.

Edit: Changed 'interview' to 'scene.' I know this is from Louie the TV series, but if I get one more inbox message about how this isn't a real Fox News interview I'm going to have an aneurysm.

[–]SolusLoqui 118 points119 points ago

Important note: this is from his TV series "Louie" and not an actual interview.

[–]williambeepbeep[!] 30 points31 points ago

Important note: it being genuine Fox News or not is practically irrelevant, since they aren't a real news organization to begin with.

[–]dontBatool 27 points28 points ago

but fudging the details makes everything sound so much better!! ask any religious person or government official!

[–]SolusLoqui 28 points29 points ago

Like my grandfather jokingly says, "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story."

[–]GamesAreArt 16 points17 points ago

Or was it your grandfather?

[–]mango_kush 5 points6 points ago

because its satirizing FOX NEWS it falls under Poes Law

[–]Fluffiebunnie 6 points7 points ago

and having an actual Fox News host involved.

[–]your_dope_is_mine 1 point2 points ago

At first when I saw it on FX (without knowing about Louie, the TV show), I thought it was a legitimate interview. This was also right after I was watching a few videos online of stewart slamming O'reilly on Fox.

[–]petzl20 1 point2 points ago

The actress for this is pretty poor.

Don't get me wrong: I masturbated to her.

Just, I thought her acting was too obvious.

[–]POOR_IMPULSE_CONTR0L 31 points32 points ago

We probably look pretty ugly to God.

"Ew, look at all those imperfect people. That chick has like a mole on her leg, her measurements are only 36, 24, 35 and her left breast is slightly bigger than her right. Geez are like her chromosomes retarded or something? Did she have a day in her childhood where she didn't get exactly 100% of all her daily values? How can she possibly feel good about herself? So not hot enough for me. On a scale of 1 to infinity, I'd give her like a 10, maybe. Plus, what is she doing? If she stroked like 2% slower the friction coefficient would cause her hand to more fully stimulate all of the nerves. I mean, seriously, it's like she's not even doing the calculus in her head while she's having sex. Has she been having sex for less than 10 million years or something? What a freaking amateur. Ugh, get these people off the television. Play WWII again, I wanna see that asshole with the mustache tell some more jew jokes before I send the Allies to ream his ass for screwing with my people."

Yeah, she is just playing a role. That is why if you look close at the bottom right of the screencaps there is the FX logo and not the Fox News logo.

I posted the part right after this (btw, it's not actually Fox News, it's his own sitcom) where he says he's going to go masturbate to the picture of her in his mind and there's nothing she can do about it... and I got a brutal verbal assault from a feminist. I went frantically trying to find the clip from the Daily Show where he said feminists are famous for not being able to take a joke, but no avail.

Ah well.

[–]bherdt -1 points0 points ago

I find it funny that r/atheism's favorite scene from this episode is when Louie's character refuses to listen to the christian's point of view. Later in the episode he learns that there is value in her life style, but decides that it is ultimately not for him.
