Discord Sounds Like a Curse

The fact that one of the biggest communication platforms is literally called "Discord" like a Babylonian curse secretly inscribed on pottery is more disturbing than we tend to give it credit for. It's sort of like if McDonalds was named "Gluttony". Like what are we doing here.

A screenshot of a social media post jokes that Discord’s name sounds like an ominous Babylonian curse written on pottery. The comparison to McDonald’s being named “Gluttony” exaggerates the unsettling meaning of ordinary brand names, making the post a reaction to Discord’s oddly ominous name.
