I'm starting to think he may have been right about a lot of things. They have found something in Antarctica, pre-flood civilizations really did exist, we are probably some aliens petri dish and foreign filth would ruin this country. That's just for starters.

He was right about the niggers. Maybe he's also right about the malevolent, eldritch entities which roam the non-euclidean planes of the cosmos. It keeps me up at night. The first of the two statements, that is.

wtf is a non-euclidean plane of the cosmos? What peculiar aspects of said plane makes it non-euclidean? What makes a regular plane of the cosmos euclidean?
Are we talking fancy talk or math here?
sounds a little trolly but really asking
Yea I like Lovecraft, read more than a few and am familiar but a lot of it is talk like that^

Don't think you are the first to choke on that one. LOL Some great writers have tangled with it. I believe they would be angles that reached out of this dimension into another intangible reality, if that helps.
The problem with Lovecraft being right is that if you know about them, they know about you. Azathoth sees all.

Its something almost specifically associated with Lovecraft.
I've seen this geometry, but I was out of my body on hydroponic mushrooms (no joke)
How to describe it though??
The angles were also curves?
The shapes weave and carve themselves out of nothing, and then back into nothing but it always somehow has a volume, area, perimeter...
Let me think about this for a second.

Nobody knows, it's impossible to imagine. That's the point. It's all fancy talk. To elaborate:
It's where geometry beyond human comprehension exists; angles intersect at impossible angles, and colours from outer space blend into shapes that are detrimental to your very sanity.
I think the closest possible analogue is to take 10 grams of shrooms and then smoke a fuckton of weed to land yourself in a bad trip with ego-death where you're falling through fractal patterns while losing all sensations of yourself. You will not know who 'you' are anymore, and feel like you are going insane with extreme fear, but you cannot even grasp the very concepts of fear or sanity; yet you realize something is terribly wrong.

Yeah, cause I find the second statement curiously satisfying for some reason.

Oh, I only just read your other replies in this thread and realized belatedly that you're a fan of Lovecraft as well. What are your favorite stories? The one that stayed with me the most were 'The Colour Out of Space', 'The Whisperer in Darkness', and my first and one of my favorites is 'At the Mountains of Madness'. The sense of wonder and exploration it evokes is unmatched. He somehow manages to combine science fiction elements with fantasy elements in a way that makes sense and is believable. It's nearly impossible to duplicate his style without sounding like an annoying smartypants, to say it crudely. I can't quite put into words how he manages to do it.

Same. It's Lovecraft's lingo. He had a knack for describing the indescribable in a grandiose style that touches the imagination; he did this without seeming verbose or intentionally obtuse.

The Petri dish assessment is interesting. I used to plate a lot of cultures in my molecular biology days, and that's pretty much how it goes - you get a bunch of little colonies (from your antibiotic-resistant strain of bacteria you created), and you pull from 1-2 of those to start culturing. Over time the antibiotics decompose or you get some contamination and foreign contaminates and your once-useful cultures go to shit.
So you bleach the whole thing and throw it out. Idk if aliens are so fastidious as us, but if they are, I'd expect a planet bleaching anytime now.

Did you ever see the Simpson's episode about Lisa's tooth? That's what I would be thinking about while doing that.

lol yea she puts it in coke and it gets zapped. Classic Simpsons Treehouse of Horror. Shame they stopped after 12 seasons, but it was probably time.

I do not believe that this was written by Lovecraft.
Not because he wasn't racist, I just don't think he would make so many typos.

I mean, he probably didn't make this meme and type in the text.

I happened to be there when he made this meme, he did indeed have this many typos and just said fuck it and left it.

I believe he would have used "negro". "Negro" comes from the Latin, the language of the educated.

it also gives further insight on how common black rape really was back then. our history has been rewritten to act as though blacks were lynched or targeted for no reason. nobody was lynching the chinese or any other group in america who minded their own business and behaved well enough

Is this actually from him? I've heard he was a cool dude.

is there a citation for this one--or does anyone have the source? I've seen this before and it seems too good to be true, but it may be, [and I hope it is].
love Lovecraft

How does one describe the indescribable?
How *does* one describe the indescribable?
Nice typo
free an unabated
Did he mean "and"? Could just be an artifact from the way people wrote then
