I fucking love this so much.

[berryjam@lemmy.world]

You should check out this artist's other work!

[brbposting@sh.itjust.works]

Might need a couple of those to be translated

[mosiacmango@lemm.ee]

• I think, there for i am
• Death comes for us all
• you're not welcome here
• Attacking the person
• Seize the day
• All togther, we are one
• to the stars
• god in the machine

to the stars (through suffering? New one for me)

"Through adversity" is the translation I've heard.

[greenappletree@lemmy.world]

Suffering, adversity, difficulty, hardship, seem to be what different institutions commonly translate it to.

Fun fact, it's also the motto of Kansas, where the artist lives.

Was this an animated gif that had no animation?

Might have gotten more publicity as it was used in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as a Starfleet motto. Boimler in Lower Decks also has a poster with the motto on it.

[hammocks4all@lemmy.ml]

Yeah! Super clever and fresh.

More literally, memento mori is "remember you will die". There was a Roman ceremony called the Triumph when a successful war commander would parade on a chariot through Rome.

Allegedly, someone would follow them through the day telling them "memento mori" to... keep them humble, I guess? as they were basically showing off to everyone in a god costume.

Boost always renders gif as an animation whether it's animated or not. Which client do you use?

[yimby@lemmy.ca]

I know it from the tribute plaque to the Apollo 1 astronauts who sadly passed in a tragic fire during ground tests.

[wizard_pope@lemmy.world]

Where I live it's translated as Through the thorns to the stars.

[wizard_pope@lemmy.world]

Don't say you've never heard of Per aspera ad astra?

[mosiacmango@lemm.ee]

Didn't ring any bells off hand like the others, nope.

Had to look it up.

There's some WP page I remember with common Latin phrases.

Okay, it's apparently now twenty WP pages, though there is one mega-page with all of them:

For the record, Deus ex Machina is more a specific literary device- literally a crane lowering a god to save the protagonist in Roman and Greek dramas.

To be fair they were more interested in telling a moral than being a good story. But the whole hanging-actor thing was meant to say they were a god and could just wave problems away. (Apparently literally.)

That's the name of an SCP, that's the name of an SCP, that's...
