I noticed a new god in the temple.

"Who are you offering to?" it asked.

I listed them all, the gods of rising bread, of health, and all the others.

"Offer to me only, and I will share with all of them."

It was convenient, but now there is only one god, and my bread will not rise.

@MicroSFF Should have gone with the bread god, and then share the bread.

@LaurenLeFey That's a good point. I was just thinking that Apple has a long history of leading people astray. Starting with Eve.

@WearsHats I was going to say that Google has clearly eaten of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but then thinking about how they've treated their slogan.... maybe not 😅

@WearsHats @MicroSFF I thought it was something involving the Roman’s and a cult but I could be wildly off base

@trochee "We have updated our bread-making policy! In accordance with the General Dough & Bread Regulation (GDBR), we have adopted a policy of not making bread anymore.

All other services provided by our bread-makers are unaffected by this change."

@MicroSFF all the divine market makers who balance the Holy ETF took the day off so now BRD is underweight and the excess is mostly in CROW so the corvids are having a blast.

I think "bundling your gods" is just as bad as bundling your insurance providers or banks. In the end, it just makes it easier for a company to gain a monopoly on your chosen goods and services.

@Maverynthia No. It's actually not about religion at all.
