It makes more sense to say workers
Yeah, I know but technically it's a particip form.
Built that tower so high god was like nah y'all done cooperating fr
Its all greek to me
Any greek speakers who can translate?
I can't help but wonder if this was the jews explaining the divergence of the semitic languages to the point where they wouldn't be able to understand Babylonian and Akkadian despite them being related to Hebrew and having ended up on the same side of older splits like those from other afro-asiatic languages like the egyptian, kushitic, and amazigh branches.
"Employees speak new languages." Is what translate gives me, but I would translate it more as "The ones working speak new languages" or "Those who have employment speak new languages". I still dont get the meme though, so the context might matter more and my translation could be off
In the story of the Tower of Babel, they tried to build a tower to reach the heavens; God took affront to this, and confounded their language, so that they would not be able to effectively work together
Would be ironic if the cultures separated (and their languages diverged) over religious differences.
Genesis 11:6 NIV - The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
And once again God fucks everyone over because he can't stand not being the most special boy ever.
When you take slaves from your neighbors and make them build a tower.

Recently played Chants of Sennaar. It's a chill and puzzl-y game while specifically covering the languages aspect of the Tower of Babel story. Can recommend.
