Day9 Explains Easter Eggs

Makes sense to me!

[KnownAsKenji]

It's like one's first exposure to League/Dota, and half of the vocabulary isn't common English terms. I'm just like 'dude I heard there were people with weapons here, I just want to hit stuff with them, what are you EVEN saying, who's carrying me, what, I'm like standing here walking man'.

Its sad, that i relate to easter eggs for my 2/3 of life because video games. Cause i can get them WHENEVER i want. But i mostly choose not to.

[jayce]

Just a heads up, Easter eggs preceeded modern capitalism by several hundred years.

[TheBehm]

Jesus rising from the dead was the best Easter egg

[good-questions]

The reason for the rabbit and the egg is actually a lot more historically interesting but indeed was eventually subsumed by capitalism AS ALL THINGS. :)

[Zraknul]

But rabbits are mammals who birth live offspring, why are eggs being used?!?!

[GreySectoid]

Easter egg tradition started in germany in late-middle ages. We all exist within that european cultural sphere, if someone doesn't know what easter egg is, it's not our job to apologize it.

[Dhekranh]

I… Somehow expected there to be a punchline or … IDK, some point to whatever he was talking about, But I don’t think I got it…

[Cykada]

Haha I'm the one who didn't know what this mean years ago.

[boombox]

Are you forget about an egg you hid and a couple days later your living room smells like a rotten egg 😂

[aaabatteries]

It's funny how both Christmas and Easter have so little to actually do with what they are meant to celebrate. How did we go from celebrating the birth and resurrection of christ to Santa Claus and the Easter bunny with the hidden eggs?

[SimakSantana]

imagine all the stuff you never understood because u never played wow

[NotTheWheel]

Jesus did rise from the dead. True.
Eggs. True.

Atheist here. A simple Google search will tell you what you need to know about Easter, bunnies, and dyed eggs. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with American capitalism.

[erterttetert]

"Capitalism created" No, it was a pagan tradition before being syncretized, just like nearly every other tradition in European Christianity.

[vitt]

Thats because Easter is actually the celebration of Ishtar pronounced (Easter) THe goddess sex and fertility. Her symbols were (Eggs and bunnies) hmmm

[KaNoMikoProductions]

The origins of the Easter Bunny has nothing to do with Capitalism whatsoever.

[GreySectoid]

I mean, wth, it's offensive that europeans have traditions? Your thought process is truly twisted.

[pascalsimioli]

"you know how people believe in a middle eastern apocalyptic preacher rising up from the dead?"

"that thing that never happened but people still believe in because they're too afraid to die?"

"yup. Anyway there's a bunny..."

"wtf."

[facelessgames]

Easter is a bastardized version of many celebrations of God', one God being Ishtar from, Egypt, I think. Ishttar is the God of fertility. Fertility. Wabbits. Eggs.

Better?
