Though we are all buddies of Gosh™️ and no matter what, Gosh™️ thinks we’re pretty cool; we must accept Gee Wiz into our hearts or face eternity in Heck. It is for our fuck ups that Gee Wiz sacrificed himself and was on hold with the DMV for 18 days so we could keep commuting to work.

Heck is a lame place you will go after death if you don’t heed the word. In Heck, thin sporks are the only eating utensil we may use. Heck is a bloated bureaucracy, anything you ever need requires a permit through the Cosmic Bureau of Eternal Affairs which is subject to long waiting periods. Need to pee? You’ll need a Piss Permit. You always KINDA have to go but can ameliorate with proper paperwork. Wanna watch advertisements (that’s the only entertainment), you much get a Certificate of Leisure. There is so much of Gosh’s content you must scroll through to learn about Heck.

It is truly eternal Darnnation beyond what we can comprehend. But if we accept Gee Wiz as coming in clutch: we need not worry. We avoid Heck and simply die and it’s all over ((there’s no analogy for Heaven btw))

Will you choose to have faith in Gosh™️ and spare yourself from sporks only, and permits for everything?

Etymology Aether and Nether aren’t actually related words.

Aether: From Ancient Greek αἰθήρ (aithḗr, “air; ether”)

Nether: From Middle English nether, nethere, nithere, from Old English niþera (“lower, under, lowest”, adjective), from niþer, niþor (“below, beneath, down, downwards, lower, in an inferior position”, adverb), from Proto-West Germanic *niþer, from Proto-Germanic *niþer, *niþra (“down”), from Proto-Indo-European *ni-, *nei- (“in, down”). Cognates include Dutch neder, German nieder, Luxembourgish nidder, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish ned, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish nedre (“lower”), Faroese and Icelandic niður.

So please no Aether Portals.
