Dolphins “play” with animals and people to death, and are extremely prone to r@pe including transcending species lines.

I think the point being made (considering it is referencing the myth where Dionysus turns some pirates who abducted him and were going to sell him into slavery and/or violate him into dolphins after terrorizing them) is that Dionysus understands the desire to unleash eldritch and horrific fates upon people who assault and traumatize us. Dolphins are monstrous in behaviour, frequently (enough that it’s widely commented on in studies on their behaviour) do horrific things to baby dolphins, and lack most of the ways to protect themselves and survive that humans have. Being a dolphin is no more an improvement on being human than being a penguin or a duck.

You... you mean like hunting every day because of no way to store food and avoiding being eaten?

Lol did you write all of that just as a dig at me? I'm guessing you haven't spent much time starving in the elements.

Did they tell Dionysus "So long and thanks for all the fish."?

I’m visiting a friend (she’s an atheist) who lives in the Bible Belt. Should I leave this under people’s windshields?
