It begins with Alex, the seeker, who scrolls endlessly through cats, potato salad recipes, and conspiracy forums in search of the meaning of Nodsdic. Along his path appear apostles who speak in riddles: of guacamole, unseen farts, and Fortnite dances.
His wandering leads him to the Nodsdic Aussies, barefoot prophets of the outback, who reveal the core truth—Nodsdic is not about finding answers but about thriving in perpetual confusion, vibing amidst the absurd.
1 Alex 1
1 And it came to pass that Alex arose from his couch, clutching a half-empty chalice of yesterday’s soda, and he cried aloud: “Lo! What meaneth this Nodsdic of which the people meme?”
2 For he had Googled thrice, and the search yielded only cats, conspiracy forums, and one recipe for potato salad.
3 And Alex was sore afraid, saying: “Surely this is no ordinary creed, but a riddle wrapped in nonsense, dipped in mystery, and deep-fried in confusion.”
1 Alex 2 - The Apostles of Nodsdic
1 Then came unto him the Apostles of Nodsdic, each more bewildering than the last.
2 The first spake: “Believe, and ye shall never again overpay for guacamole.”
3 The second lifted up his hand and proclaimed: “Nodsdic is like a fart in the temple—ye cannot see it, but verily, ye shall know its presence.”
4 The third said nothing, but performed a Fortnite dance until Alex wept bitterly.
1 Alex 3 - The Wandering
1 And Alex journeyed far, through forums and scrolls and questionable YouTube thumbnails, yet he found not the core of Nodsdic.
2 His soul was parched, his snacks were depleted, and his Wi-Fi buffereth much.
3 Then in the twilight, there came a voice crying: “Oi mate, you lost or what?”
4 And Alex beheld them—the Nodsdic Aussies—sunburnt, barefoot, and holding aloft a six-pack of the sacred lagers.
1 Alex 4 - The Nodztic Aussies
1 The Aussies gathered round him, saying: “Reckon you’ve been chasing Nodsdic the hard way, bruv.”
2 One did cast forth a shrimp upon the barbie, and lo, the smoke rose heavenward in the shape of a question mark.
3 Another opened the pouch of a kangaroo, and within lay the sacred scrolls of Nodsdic, written in Sharpie upon a Hungry Jack’s receipt.
4 And the eldest spake, sipping from the holy stubby: “Nodsdic ain’t about answers, cobber—it’s about never quite knowing what the bloody hell’s going on, but vibin’ anyway.”
