Torah / Bible "Genesis 11:9 attributes the Hebrew version of the name, Babel, to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. The first century Roman-Jewish author Flavius Josephus similarly explained that the name was derived from the Hebrew word Babel (בבל), meaning "confusion"."

 

"Us and Them" (Pink Floyd song cover) performed by Lucia Lilikoi, lyrics: Up and down... and in the end It's only round and round, and round. "Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?" The poster bearer cried

The random quotes posted with a seemingly unrelated

see, they aren't unrelated. The posting title says "superficial understanding and shallow comprehension"

So this community is to post excerpts from a book?

No, this web comic is not from a book, it is from Reddit and a link to the original post on Reddit is provided.

.3. Wasn’t about to click links without at least some context first

But they have context. There is a Wikipedia link and a song link, both had context:

Torah / Bible "Genesis 11:9 attributes the Hebrew version of the name, Babel, to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. The first century Roman-Jewish author Flavius Josephus similarly explained that the name was derived from the Hebrew word Babel (בבל), meaning "confusion"."

So this community is to be deliberately obtuse apparently. Still can't tell if it's all a LLM or not. Oh well

That is a major intelligence failure in April 2025. Lemmy community to educate you: !FakeDetectors@lemm.ee "Fake detectors of Large Language Models"

this community is to be deliberately obtuse apparently.

No, not at all. This Lemmy community is about the "Tower of Babel" shallow understandings and superficial reactions to language, but you seem incredibly ignorant and in need of remedial education and learning,

It is very direct and clear what the topic of this Lemmy community is about:

Torah / Bible "Genesis 11:9 attributes the Hebrew version of the name, Babel, to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. The first century Roman-Jewish author Flavius Josephus similarly explained that the name was derived from the Hebrew word Babel (בבל), meaning "confusion"."

Deep into Poe’s Law at this point.

"Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views."

Yet, you can't grasp the thousands of years old Tower of Babel, Babel Tower, metaphors. !BabelTower@lemm.ee
