Yes, which was the source of my confusion as they were without context.
No, as I don't know how to access that in Jerboa, and when I visited the community info prior to commenting there was no description that helped.
Wasn't about to click links without at least some context first
I'll assume that's a typo. The random quotes posted with a seemingly unrelated web comic made me curious, so I commented hoping someone could fill me in. So this community is to post excerpts from a book?
Not visible when I clicked on the community. I've seen them work in other communities, but maybe there's an incompatibility with Jerboa there? This post popped up in my feed, couldn't find context when glancing at other posts in the community or in community info, so commented to hopefully get some context as it seemed interesting.
see, they aren't unrelated. The posting title says "superficial understanding and shallow comprehension"
No, this web comic is not from a book, it is from Reddit and a link to the original post on Reddit is provided.
But they have context. There is a Wikipedia link and a song link, both had context:
Torah / Bible "Genesis 11:9 attributes the Hebrew version of the name, Babel, to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. The first century Roman-Jewish author Flavius Josephus similarly explained that the name was derived from the Hebrew word Babel (בבל), meaning "confusion"."

So this community is to be deliberately obtuse apparently. Still can't tell if it's all a LLM or not. Oh well

Yet, you can't grasp the thousands of years old Tower of Babel, Babel Tower, metaphors. !BabelTower@lemm.ee
