Guys, I heard that Taylor Swift stands for Take All You Like, O Rebel, Satan Will Intercede For Thee.

    Oh wow - I thought our neighbor when I was a teenager had come up with this one themselves, when they warned my parents I was listening to satanic music.

    I remember sneaking away and lying where I was going so I could secretly play Dungeons and Dragons.

    "No, mom, I'm going to a party! With drugs! And alcohol! I swear!"

    "You can't fool me, sonny! I know you don't get invited to parties. You're going to play Dragons and Dungeons with that group of nerds you call your friends, aren't you!"

    "...yes, mom..."

    "Now go to your room and think about what you've done. Pray to the Lord for mercy, and don't come out again until God sends you a sign that he has forgiven you!"

    I'd argue it never truly ended and was the birth of the modern "culture war".

    Honestly if you look at the 90s through 2000s people were claiming the same stuff about pokemon and Harry Potter.

    There is a band called ACxDC and that stands for Antichrist Demoncore.

    They're vegan straight edge satanists.

    Even 7 year old me knew it was Alternating Current/Direct Current. Did none of them actually ever work with a kitchen appliance from the 70s?

    Wow, an anti-christ/devil's child brand sewing machine. Truly evil.

    Sewing is the devil's work. Repairing clothes denies god-appointed clothing retail owners their divinely appointed profits.

    Alternating Current/Direct Current

    The only songs they've done even relevant to their name is Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap) and T.N.T. Specifically the lines that say "HIGH VOLTAGE!", "I'm a powerload" and "I'm a livewire"

    Same thing with KISS. Back in elementary school I remember hearing that it stands for Kids In Satan's Society.

    Down here in dullardville they said it meant "After Christ Devil Comes" when I was a kid. I had never heard of them and gave them a try. Funny, that I found out about one of my lifelong favorite bands because useless god bothers made up some stupid shit about them.

    Classic Streisand at play "DONT listen to this band cause they are SUPER evil and they are the DEVIL!!!!"

    You'd think religious people would eventually learn the harder they try to repress exploration, the more they end up encouraging it. It's more fact than stereotype that the most sexually repressed and sheltered growing up end up becoming the freakiest and kinkiest.

    AC means Alternating Current, electrical current that periodically reverses direction, and DC means Direct Current, a current that continuously flows in one direction. AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types of power.

    So see, power intake is a spectrum… some devices are born AC, some DC. Some devices however go both ways. It’s natural. However some organizations like the IEC want to force their narrow world view on everyone.

    This is disrespectful to Satan. I mean the man invented Jazz to corrupt the youth and you think he's wasting his time with dumb-ass boomer blues-rock? What a downgrade, no wonder Satan hates Christians.

    Ok first off, AC/DC isn’t just a national treasure, it’s a good damn species treasure. So how fucking dare you.

    I'm apologize. I didn't mean to insult a SPECIES TREASURE.

    How could I have guessed a people should be so culturally impoverished? America produced jazz, blues, and rock and roll: I should check my privilege.

    AC/DC are pretty legendary dude. And you're going to have some Aussies trying to figure out where you live

    The worst part about Aussies is that you can't just outlast them and hide in the desert since they too are adapted for such environments. Upside is the sidewinders and lizards who shoot blood from their eyes might catch them off guard on occasion.

    It was also slang for bisexual, though not sure if that preceded or came after the band.

    I was just thinking about this factoid the other day.

    More evidence of the secret brain chip that must have been implanted one day while I was drunk...

    Fun fact, factoid actually means something that sounds true but isn't.

    Fun Fact/Factoid, use to be true, but like everything else, we've used it wrong for so long it's considered to be either

    A factoid was originally defined to mean a false statement presented as a fact.[1][2] In colloquial speech, it is often used to mean a true but brief or trivial item of news or information (which can be less ambiguously described as a "factlet").

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factoid

    an insignificant or trivial fact.

    something fictitious or unsubstantiated that is presented as fact, devised especially to gain publicity and accepted because of constant repetition.
