      You got your answers but I’m adding in that another one you’ll see that’s related is MDNI which is “minors do not interact” which is just someone’s way of saying they don’t want minors to interact with their content. Typically NSFW accounts use it.

      It’s “do not interact.” It’s really common on tumblr. Sometimes it’s reasonable “this is a porn blog, DNI if you are a minor” but sometimes it’s a comedically long list of political positions that they want you to agree with.

      Do Not Interact. You’ll often see it on social profiles for people who don’t want children or adults messaging them. You may see it as “Minors DNI/Adults DNI”, or extended to other groups like “Conservatives DNI”, etc.

        The Man Who Taught His Asshole to Talk

        By William S. Burroughs

        Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his asshole to talk? His whole abdomen would move up and down you dig farting out the words. It was unlike anything I ever heard.

        This ass talk had sort of a gut frequency. It hit you right down there like you gotta go. You know when the old colon gives you the elbow and it feels sorta cold inside, and you know all you have to do is turn loose? Well this talking hit you right down there, a bubbly, thick stagnant sound, a sound you could smell.

        This man worked for a carnival you dig, and to start with it was like a novelty ventriliquist act. Real funny, too, at first. He had a number he called “The Better ‘Ole” that was a scream, I tell you. I forget most of it but it was clever. Like, “Oh I say, are you still down there, old thing?”

        “Nah I had to go relieve myself.”

        After a while the ass start talking on its own. He would go in without anything prepared and his ass would ad-lib and toss the gags back at him every time.

        Then it developed sort of teeth-like little raspy in-curving hooks and started eating. He thought this was cute at first and built an act around it, but the asshole would eat its way through his pants and start talking on the street, shouting out it wanted equal rights. It would get drunk, too, and have crying jags nobody loved it and it wanted to be kissed same as any other mouth. Finally it talked all the time day and night, you could hear him for blocks screaming at it to shut up, and beating it with his fist, and sticking candles up it, but nothing did any good and the asshole said to him: “It’s you who will shut up in the end. Not me. Because we dont need you around here any more. I can talk and eat and shit.”

        After that he began waking up in the morning with a transparent jelly like a tadpole’s tail all over his mouth. This jelly was what the scientists call un-D.T., Undifferentiated Tissue, which can grow into any kind of flesh on the human body. He would tear it off his mouth and the pieces would stick to his hands like burning gasoline jelly and grow there, grow anywhere on him a glob of it fell. So finally his mouth sealed over, and the whole head would have amputated spontaneous except for the eyes you dig. Thats one thing the asshole couldn’t do was see. It needed the eyes. But nerve connections were blocked and infiltrated and atrophied so the brain couldn’t give orders any more. It was trapped in the skull, sealed off. For a while you could see the silent, helpless suffering of the brain behind the eyes, then finally the brain must have died, because the eyes went out, and there was no more feeling in them than a crab’s eyes on the end of a stalk.

          I checked out Naked Lunch from my high schools library when I was a junior. Read the entire thing. Not big on controlling what kids read, but someone probably should have said something… was weird to read about post hanging erections. Even weirder when it showed up when I read Ulysses that year too.

      Even God didn’t want people to cancel him, anyone who sent him to the Afterlife would get Avenged Sevenfold. Weird that he was concerned when he had just killed the only other living person on earth other than his parents. It must have been a Nightmare knowing that he wouldn’t get A Little Piece of Heaven. Perhaps if he hadn’t made that Unholy Confession, God wouldn’t have noticed and he wouldn’t have ended up in Bat Country.

    This is some bullshit, Cain was asked BY A GOD to kill (sacrifice) the thing he loved the most, he did it. Sure maybe you say it was jealousy but maybe it was love. It was the thing he was most proud of. God (this one says hes all knowing) knew this would happen yet people are down here blaming Cain.

      You’re trippin’. You’ve gotten every detail wrong. It would be hard to be more wrong. Killing ≠ sacrificing. It never specifically mentions being asked, much less for what they “loved most”. It’s not just “people down here blaming Cain”, Cain lied about murdering his brother and God cursed him. If God viewed Cain murdering Abel as a sacrifice, why would he curse him?

      4 The man knew[a] Eve his wife. She conceived,[b] and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.” 2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground. 4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering, 5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell. 6 Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen? 7 If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.” 8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.

      9 Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?”

      He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

      10 Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground. 11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”

      Genesis 4:1-12 WEB translation (public domain).

      Are you getting some pop culture version of this story mixed up with the biblical story?

        He’s probably thinking of Abraham trying to sacrifice his son on Yahweh’s orders, a couple chapters later.

        Genesis 22:1–12:

        Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”

        “Here I am,” he replied.

        Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

        Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”

        Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”

        “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.

        “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

        Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.

        When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”

        “Here I am,” he replied.

        “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”

      What version of the Bible did you get that from? Cain killed Abel out of jealousy, nobody asked him to sacrifice anything other than the occasional farm animal.
