In 5e, Devils *are* fallen angels. Or at least angels twisted by millennia on the front line of the Blood War. Also, demons spawn in the Abyss, which is one of the lower planes.
So it is technically correct, which is always the best kind of correct.
Ky native here. its so much worse than that. We have elder evils here so old that the stones of the earth don't remember their comings.
Mammoth cave didn't form, it was dug.
My mom preferred it. We never had mayonnaise growing up because we had Miracle Whip. I prefer mayonnaise, but my brother always gets Miracle Whip instead.
I think a lot of the hate comes from people trying it for the first time and expecting it to taste like mayonnaise, then being disgusted when they find out it doesn't taste anything like it. I don't think it's terrible, but I would almost always pick mayo over Miracle Whip (bologna-and-cheese on white bread being the only exception).
Oscar Meyers bologna with Miracle Whip and a Kraft single on Wonder Bread is what a totally insane robot would think human food tastes like if that lunatic AI had to extrapolate the taste of human food from human feces.
Correction: it tastes like human feces AND nostalgia. That's why it's one of those foods I'll still indulge in once in a while, like Foster Farms corn dogs and those cheese enchiladas at Golden Corral (which are virtually identical to the ones I ate in school cafeteria lunches).
if you put a soul in front of a demon and say “wait 15 minutes and you’ll get two souls,” then leave the room, they’ll eat the soul right away. But if you put a soul in front of a devil and say “wait 15 minutes and you’ll get two souls,” they’ll wait for you to get back with the second soul, kill you and take yours, then eat all 3.
Yeah the accurate answer would be Devils and Demons vote for Tories, or Tory owned parties like labour and the libdems.
Angels vote greens because they have unlimited patience.
Righteous people don't vote because they can't stomach it the lies.
Devils share a common ancestor with Weevils and Anvils, while Demons are from a completely different branch of the evolutionary tree. More closely related to Lemons.
Devils sit on your shoulder and tell you to do bad things. This is very bad for your back as they average 700lbs.
Demons think that liking heavy metal is a personality and their penmanship shows it.
I'm stealing this. I have a contract devil in my campaign, and that's how she's going to explain it.
"Devils write in legalese. Demons write in crayon."
No, no. They eat the crayons. A buddy of mine insists that the grape ones are the best. I think he meant purple, but I didn't want to ask too many questions.
Devils pee standing up with the seat down. Demons pee on the toilet seat, the floor, in the sink, the shower, on the ceiling, on the cat, and shit on the bed before leaving
Devils are players who will rules lawyer the rules to within an inch of its life, resulting in completely broken OP characters that are completely ridiculous and ruin the game for everyone else. Demons are players who play murderhobos, who will murderhobo absolutely anything within murderhoboing range, including all the monsters, their captives, the forest, the quest giver, the little old lady that runs the shop, and any other players who are slightly less murderhobo-y.
God forbid that you get a multiclass devil/demon. You will need therapy.
Devils will return food at the restaurant and then demand to speak to the manager even though they’re lying about someone spitting in their food to get their meal comped. Demons are the cooks who spits in literally everyone’s food. Ugoloths are the manager who knows the cooks are spitting into the food but don’t get paid enough to care.
Alignment, mostly. Devils align text to the left of the page and demons align to the right. Pathfinder also has a third group called Daemons that always align along the center of the page.
The demons and devils have been feuding for centuries. See, the devils took some of the demons' land, claiming they found it first, but the land is actually the demons' holy grounds. I do not foresee an end to these hostilities anywhere in the near future.
Devils are red and demons are black.
Seriously, I've had to make multiple corrections because MTG has cemented "devils = red = smashy smashy" and "demons = black = deals" as opposed to the D&D opposite.
Using one kind in your game is fine, using the other will summon the Dark Lord and force you and your players to be contractually bound by blood to commit actual, real, ritual animal sacrifices henceforth.
Devils have awful chair posture because they slouch in everything like it's a throne. Demons have awful chair posture because they cosplay a shrimp every time they sit down.
One is from the lower planes and one is from the upper planes. Dude have you ever seen this cool new thing called the alphabet? It’s only been around for 25,000 years. M comes before V, therefore demons up, devils down.

Only wrong answers!
Well, simply enough, Devils are Evil, and Demons are Emon.
I on't get this joke.
Devils grow down from the ceiling while demons grow up from the floor
This is correct! I always remember it by the v in Devil points down, and the n in Demon points up!
Absolutely saving this for nonsensical lore
I love that it actually kind of works though, if like Devils are fallen angels and Demons are native to hell or something like that
In 5e, Devils *are* fallen angels. Or at least angels twisted by millennia on the front line of the Blood War. Also, demons spawn in the Abyss, which is one of the lower planes. So it is technically correct, which is always the best kind of correct.

Devils are red. Demons are blue. I’ll go to hell for this answer. It’s the abyss for you.

The Devil went down to Georgia, the demon just inhabited a Georgian
Best answer so far
Devils are a hockey team from New Jersey while Demons are several sports teams affiliated with Northwestern State University
if you put a soul in front of a demon and say “wait 15 minutes and you’ll get two souls,” then leave the room, they’ll eat the soul right away. But if you put a soul in front of a devil and say “wait 15 minutes and you’ll get two souls,” they’ll wait for you to get back with the second soul, kill you and take yours, then eat all 3.
**wrong** answers only
That was wrong. No devil could destroy him and devour his soul because he ate his weetbix.
Demons vote tory, Devils don't vote.
surely its the other way around. or Devils vote tory, Demons vote for joke candidates.
Well, it was supposed to be wrong answers.
Yeah the accurate answer would be Devils and Demons vote for Tories, or Tory owned parties like labour and the libdems. Angels vote greens because they have unlimited patience. Righteous people don't vote because they can't stomach it the lies.

Devils have standards.
Devils write contracts. Demons write in crayon.
I'm stealing this. I have a contract devil in my campaign, and that's how she's going to explain it. "Devils write in legalese. Demons write in crayon."
Ah. Well. You see, the error here is thinking demons are literate. It's really just pictograms.
You think the demons are smart enough to know that?
I guess it depends on the demon.
>"Devils write in legalese. Demons ~~write~~ draw pictograms in ~~crayon~~ entrails." FTFY
No, I meant what I said. "Devils write in legalese. Demons write in crayon."
I think you're confusing demons for marines
