Checkmate atheists.

First, consider that the word “TACO” contains the same letters as “COAT,” proving that tacos are meant to cover our hunger, just as coats cover our bodies. Now, take “TACO” and assign numerical values using the standard A=1, B=2 system:

T = 20 A = 1 C = 3 O = 15

20 + 1 + 3 + 15 = 39

Now, divide by the number of traditional taco toppings (lettuce, cheese, tomato, sour cream, and meat = 5):

39 ÷ 5 = 7.8

Which is suspiciously close to 7.77, a number often associated with jackpot winnings in slot machines. Clearly, tacos were designed to be the ultimate prize of the universe.

But it goes deeper—flip “TACO” backwards, and you get “OCAT.” If you say this out loud, it almost sounds like “Oh, cat!” Proof that tacos and cats are spiritually connected. This explains why internet culture revolves around both.

Finally, consider the fact that “Tuesday” has 7 letters, the number of days in a week. If you remove the number 2 (since Tuesday is the second day of the workweek), you get 5—exactly the number of traditional taco toppings! This proves that Taco Tuesday was destined by the cosmic order.

Are we living in a taco simulation? The evidence is undeniable.

This isn’t satire. This is someone I know. And they’re batshit crazy. Constantly posting stuff like this. They also have massive “I’m the smartest person in the room” energy.

Some context for you or anyone that isn’t familiar. This is something called Gematria. Languages like Greek had no separate symbols for numbers, they just assigned values to letters. So you could “add” the values of the letters of something and get a number. It’s basically a shortcut for the typical crazy conspiracy shit, and it picked up steam among the Qanon crowd around that time.

This is basically a free space on a bingo sheet, but is/was she into Qanon conspiracies like jfk Jr returning?

I’m actually not too sure on the Qanon thing. Probably? I usually see a post every Superbowl that the Superbowl is a satanic performance. Just as delusional as this.

Religion is really good at capturing those with mental illnesses and especially those without insight.

It’s called schizophrenia, and there’s medication you can take for it.

It’s numerology.

Which is like… astrology with numbers.

And you might not be surprised it’s wormed its way in some of the way-more-crazy parts of Christianity.

Also? A solid argument for why you shouldn’t mix crazy and meth.

Yeah I know what numerology is… Had a “luck” to encounter and debunk a certain pseudoscientist who tried to connect gematria and stuff with the origin of the alphabet or sth.

Also yeah I’m not surprised, the Bible is famously vague and self-contradictory, leading to thousands of interpretations of it. I only hope this guy is not doing some sort of preaching to attract similarly crazy ppl

I remember when these guys were just a random house in a neighborhood where they had signs or painted walls that depicted their current conspiracies - usually teamed with various dead appliances and vehicles on the property. Now these people are winning elections.

If you make random insane meaningless connections to things that don’t exist and call them your reality and believe in them absolutely … you are called insane.

If you make random insane meaningless connections to things that don’t exist from a Christian Bible (or any other religious texts) and call them your reality and believe in them absolutely … you are called religious.
