Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

Source is the Codex Seraphinianus, for anyone wondering

Thank you!

Edit: I started looking through it and don't have a word for the emotions I feel. I suppose that's what art is about, but it's almost a cognitive dissonance for what I know is real, and an alien world.

Is this in an actual language?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Codex Seraphinianusoriginally published in 1981, is an illustrated encyclopedia of an imaginary world, created by Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini between 1976 and 1978.[2] It is approximately 360 pages (depending on edition) and written in an imaginary language.[3]
