Happened to look up "ghoul" on Wikipedia

17h 26m ago by lemmy.world/u/FisherOfSaints in lemmyshitpost

But could not have imagined finding the exact person who made me think about them in the first place actually included in the article.

from the Arabic word meaning "to kill"

It would be nice if someone were ghoul these bastards.

It’s spelled “Goa'uld”

My favorite band has a song about him called “The Soft Hands Of Stephen Miller,” came out 7 years ago and its pretty funny.

I can’t believe it’s been left up this long. I came across it like 5 hours ago and thought I took a screenshot and then the gummy kicked in and I spent the next 4 hours going down the YouTube rabbit hole on a woodworker who bought a farm, which I am technically still in.

Anyway when I remembered and first went to post this, I realized I hadn’t actually taken the screen shot. I figured there was no way the edit was still up all this time later but sure it enough, it was and still is.

Four hours later, I just checked and it's still up lol. Nobody say anything.

The fun police have been along and removed it now.

Also I just looked up that track and it is fucking gnarly! It took me back to Jawbox. Really rad, thanks for making me aware.

Edit: Might as well pay it forward

Pile #1 band in the universe, baby.

Now I kmow why his name sounded familiar the first time this Joker started showing up in the news! The Steve Miller Band! 🤦‍♂️

Oh. That was a nice one. Thanks!

Wasn't there a Raas Al'Ghul or something like that in Batman?

“political advisor” must be the polite way to say “fascist piece of shit”.

Ok so Steven is the ghoul. Kristie the skank.

Rfk the brain-worms

What about bondi and Mikey ?

Vance ?

Vance ?

you mean couch fucker?

This made me realize I am the same age as Miller. I am by no means in good shape but damn hate has aged him like milk

Fun fact, the name of the star Algol means "the ghoul."

This is actually two fun facts for me with the first one being that there is a star called Algol.

why does the wikipedia iOS app has worse looking icons than the amdorid one?

Android eclipses iOS in global market share. It isn't even close.

The only place iOS might be more widely used is in the shithole people call the US.

I think in the us it is dramatically larger for iOS. Last time I checked I think it was 75% share?

Japan also is dominated by iOS

Pretty sure Jikiniki is just transcribed by Lafcadio Hearn, not written by him

Why is he being called a ghoul? He looks fineish on stills
