Fake, there is no mention of the race of the guy with the statue or the taxi driver.

Finally gets a taxi to pick him up

The taxi is old as fuck and the driver looks ugly as shit and has the smell of dead fish about him

He doesn't even listen when you tell him where you want to go

He drops you off in front of a motel in a run-down fishing hamlet

Some drunk dude starts screaming at you to leave, that you're in danger, and that the Marsh family has made a pact with the devil

Get chased by fish people in the night after you rent a room at the hotel

Run into a deadly jello mold

Find out your grandmother was a fish person

Lose your mind

Get locked up in an asylum

A 2-hour audiobook summed up in a green-text-esque format. Nicely done.

Cthulhu is just tryin to get away from Brazil and will need the OOP

Roll Navigate I guess?

My favorite Cthulhu aphorism related to the mythos was:

No lives matter, and that's a fact.

The cult has discovered your lineage, they're attempting to bring you "home". They're trying not to tip you off by sort of complying with your requests. The taxi is being driven by a deep one, or someone who is close to transforming.

That's assuming far too much active interest on Dread Cthulhu's part in what happens to this insect.

Your best guess is the very obvious conclusion of a joke and then replying to someone just saying that? You're not wrong, it's just weird and very dumb to think "yeah, I'll reply with this".

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

More weird and dumb than your unnecessary toxic comment?

At first I thought someone tried to get you to carry their elicit drugs to another country for them

Now I’m just confused.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

Drug smugglers have figured out ways to not only hide drugs inside statues, but to actually make drugs INTO statues. I remember reading about some Columbian drug gang that figured out a way to embed cocaine in a plastic in a manner that could be chemically separated once smuggled across the border. They were sending shipments of religious statues made out of cocaine. So I suppose that Cthulu statue could actually be 30% coke.

Most probably some Lovecraftian horror story / character reference.

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now I want that. No, now I NEED that.

It’s available as an STL that prints in resin quite well. I had to hollow the base and add a drain hole, but now I am very pleased with the doom I have brought upon myself.

can’t remember STL download site, probably just an image search will find it

Slower Than Light. It means you don't have to worry about your prints emitting Cherenkov radiation and possibly going back in time.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Except if you print a Cthulu, then those kinds of errors happen spontaneously.

It’s a 3D model format used in 3D printing. It’s a generic CAD file type, if you are into 3D design stuff

Ohhh

That's why the seats were wet !
