Even 7 year old me knew it was Alternating Current/Direct Current. Did none of them actually ever work with a kitchen appliance from the 70s?
The satanic panic wasn’t an intellectual movement.
Down here in dullardville they said it meant “After Christ Devil Comes” when I was a kid. I had never heard of them and gave them a try. Funny, that I found out about one of my lifelong favorite bands because useless god bothers made up some stupid shit about them.
Classic Streisand at play “DONT listen to this band cause they are SUPER evil and they are the DEVIL!!!”
You’d think religious people would eventually learn the harder they try to repress exploration, the more they end up encouraging it. It’s more fact than stereotype that the most sexually repressed and sheltered growing up end up becoming the freakiest and kinkiest.
Shhhh that’s how we ended up with Live and and Evanescence
There is a band called ACxDC and that stands for Antichrist Demoncore.
They’re vegan straight edge satanists.
wat ?
They’re vegan, they’re straight edge (don’t drink or do drugs and take a stance against those things) and are satanists, in the anti-religious poking fun at Christianity sense. Don’t think they actually worship Satan.

There’s some excellent bands if you’re into punk/hardcore or heavy-alt music at all/raging against the machine
Sweet! I’ll check them out!
Making crap up to fit one’s narrative.
Guys, I heard that Taylor Swift stands for Take All You Like, O Rebel, Satan Will Intercede For Thee.
That would be so much cooler though.
New album title incoming.
Her rebellious Era
I like “Will Incentivise For This” but the people who would believe it wouldn’t know the meaning of the word
This is great, I can’t wait to tell this to people in person
This was literally in my brain before I opened the thread.
Thank you.
Alternating Current/Direct Current
The only songs they’ve done even relevant to their name is Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap) and T.N.T. Specifically the lines that say “HIGH VOLTAGE!”, “I’m a powerload” and “I’m a livewire”
No love for Thunderstruck?
Thunder is just the sound. If it was Lightningstruck, it’d be included. 😌
well, if you were the one struck they’d be pretty close together…
You can’t fool me, those are Stand names.
Dange danger! High voltage!
Ooh Electric Six!! Excellent.
Live Wire would also fall into that category, I would think. explicit mention of live wires setting things on fire
My first thought about TNT is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4…
Oh the only songs, only their most popular and well-known ones
Oh wow - I thought our neighbor when I was a teenager had come up with this one themselves, when they warned my parents I was listening to satanic music.
Not cool that you took it without asking
Nothing in the universe is faster than the evangelical misinformation hate and fear pipeline
The satanic panic was real in the 80s
All the way back to the witch trials… and in some isolated pockets today
I remember sneaking away and lying where I was going so I could secretly play Dungeons and Dragons.
“No, mom, I’m going to a party! With drugs! And alcohol! I swear!”
“You can’t fool me, sonny! I know you don’t get invited to parties. You’re going to play Dragons and Dungeons with that group of nerds you call your friends, aren’t you!”
“…yes, mom…”
“Now go to your room and think about what you’ve done. Pray to the Lord for mercy, and don’t come out again until God sends you a sign that he has forgiven you!”
I’d argue it never truly ended and was the birth of the modern “culture war”.
Honestly if you look at the 90s through 2000s people were claiming the same stuff about pokemon and Harry Potter.
All of it ties back to Jerry Falwell. The institutions he created continue to do damage to this day
There were plenty of people claiming that the Wicked movie was witchcraft. Things have not changed.
Same thing with KISS. Back in elementary school I remember hearing that it stands for Kids In Satan’s Society.
It was “Knights in Satan’s Service” in my youth.
Keep it simple, stupid
moral panics are tragic
MPAT…? Sorry boss I don’t think this one works
Wow, an anti-christ/devil’s child brand sewing machine. Truly evil.
it’s all about the whip stitches
It’s how you get Hell’s Bell-Bottoms.
Sewing is the devil’s work. Repairing clothes denies god-appointed clothing retail owners their divinely appointed profits.
*edit: … 👉 appointed
I thought it just meant bisexual.
AC and DC, the two sexualities
It’s okay by me.
This is disrespectful to Satan. I mean the man invented Jazz to corrupt the youth and you think he’s wasting his time with dumb-ass boomer blues-rock? What a downgrade, no wonder Satan hates Christians.
Ok first off, AC/DC isn’t just a national treasure, it’s a good damn species treasure. So how fucking dare you.
I’ve seen parrots jamming out to it too
I’m apologize. I didn’t mean to insult a SPECIES TREASURE.
How could I have guessed a people should be so culturally impoverished? America produced jazz, blues, and rock and roll: I should check my privilege.
You’re god damn right you should!
~don’t get mad man, these are just jokes and shit posting~
We’ve got the biggest balls of them all!
AC/DC are pretty legendary dude. And you’re going to have some Aussies trying to figure out where you live
The worst part about Aussies is that you can’t just outlast them and hide in the desert since they too are adapted for such environments. Upside is the sidewinders and lizards who shoot blood from their eyes might catch them off guard on occasion.
AC means Alternating Current, electrical current that periodically reverses direction, and DC means Direct Current, a current that continuously flows in one direction. AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types of power.
AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types
Go on…
So see, power intake is a spectrum… some devices are born AC, some DC. Some devices however go both ways. It’s natural. However some organizations like the IEC want to force their narrow world view on everyone.
DC is just AC with f=0.
Yes, hence it being a spectrum
Don’t quote your religious dogma to me!
Freq!
There were many rumours about the singer of AC/DC was bisexual because of all that (that the name came from it IIRC), he has debunked it numerous times.
Musicians. In a time without Wikipedia. Nobody could look up things back then.
Encyclopedias existed.
Not everybody had a CD drive in his PC.
I’m getting too old to be sure anymore whether these are jokes or not
Books. Like paper.
Many books.
Take that woke nonsense back to Europe with you: we all know there is only one way: they do not “take both”. /s
Acadaca
That hat looks so photoshopped on
