It's a play. And the famous spoiler is that

SpoilerGodot never shows up
.

"Where is your Godot now!"

... Sorry, couldn't help myself. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

Well, yeah, that is one of the interpretations.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

no. Beckett specifically said "If I meant God I would have written God."

He also wrote in French, where God is "Dieu" and Godot is "Gohdough" so the pun doesn't work

He was waiting for good dough.

Heads-up, that spoiler formatting might not work for users not on Sync.

Which is weird

spoilerbecause boost has a button to add spoilers.

I'm on jerboa, and the spoiler part works okay for me. But it somehow swallowed the first part of the post.

I haven't looked on the web client.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I checked and it doesn't work at all on the web.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I don't think that spoiler worked. Maybe because it's all on the same line
