The whole core of Judaism is basically rules-lawyering God Himself. It owns.

For me this one doesn't even register as a strange thing for rabbis to debate, nor would it be a particularly long debate. The provision that you may transgress to save life is already well established.

My favourite is a case where a rabbi argued that a particular product would become non-kosher if it were given kosher certification, and would be kosher if it did not have that certification! I can't find the article again, unfortunately :(

Of course there are some women out there who are way into tall guys, but the perception that most of them have hard and fast minimum height requirements probably come from incels forums. It's like when they started hyper fixating on how thin their wrists are. TBH I didn't really hear about it until about 4 or 5 years ago. I've never really considered it a factor in my dating life.


When I was doing a lot of online dating in '09-'10, I'd see height requirements in maybe 1 out of 20-30 girls profiles, and I knew IRL girls with height requirements before that, so its not new at all. Incels love to harp on height because its an unchangeable personal attribute they can latch onto and catastrophize.

Its something that ties in to male attractiveness and is easily quantifiable, so online dating disadvantages short dudes like it disadvantages alot of other folks. Attractive, but not photogenic? Bad at personal photography? Bad at short-form written communication? Got Dysgraphia? The new world of dating sucks for you!

yea 'are vampires breaking kosher' is some amateur level Jewish pedantry, we have the pretty rock solid standard of 'preservation of life is always more important than other rules' as accepted by everyone.

The real fun is arguing if a werewolf would have to feel bad for breaking kosher while in wolf mode, then you can debate how much of a 'man' remains and if that wolfman nature even is bound by Jewish law like his man side would be and all.

Though my favorite general story about rabbis arguing with God is The Oven of Akhnai. Two rabbis are arguing about a new kind of oven if it meets kosher requirements and all and, eventually, one goes 'if I'm wrong let God make the stream we're next to flow backwards'. The stream goes backwards but the other rabbi says it doesn't prove anything, so a voice from heaven directly says 'he's right and you're wrong'. The rabbi answers by saying that the Torah is not in heaven, but on earth, and its laws are the domain of man to decide, so God should stay out of the argument. It ends with God laughing in heaven and saying his children have got one over on him.

It's part of a bigger story about sorrow and prayer and all but that one chunk of it is a pretty mainstream story because it's basically just Jewish culture perfectly summed up.

Wouldn't that heavily depend on how much "control" they have over the wolf mode? I guess it ties into the how much of a man remains.

Do involuntary actions count? If someone has a seizure for example and presses a button on the Sabbath, or something like that

involuntary actions don't count but I suppose then the argument would be exactly how much of a 'wolf' he is. If he's a full on 'chain me up or I'll eat anyone I see' type it'd probably be null but then it becomes how much is he obligated to suppress his 'wolf nature' in the proper form. Would wolfman be required to keep kosher even if he can control himself or is the fact that he's not a 'man' but a 'wolfman' mean he's got entirely different standards regardless? Personally I think I'd need a wolfman rabbi to weigh in on it.

And now I'm just thinking of the 30 Rock 'Werewolf Bar Mitzvah' song.

That's the fun vampire argument yea, what is 'life' and all. You can also play this card when arguing if you're obligated to rebury zombies respectfully or if you should just dispose of them cleanly for public good.

correct, the letter of the Shabbat law is very restrictive on even how much you can carry from your own residence to 'public areas' and other things (which includes, say, carrying a baby or using a cane or the like) so the wire makes all of the area 'private property' spiritually speaking and lets even ultra observant Orthodox sorts, ya know, walk down the street with keys in their pocket or the like.

A classic staple of Jewish life, looking at a law and going 'this feels like someone hosed up what this means, let me fix it'.

Fun fact even within an eruv it's commonly accepted some things remain too obviously 'public land' involved to do. My favorite is you technically can't open an umbrella because it's akin to pitching a tent, which I find a genuinely adorable interpretation because I just imagine some little old rabbi all 'what is an umbrella but a small tent over us?'

well to be more serious I'd personally argue that the point is that God gave us free will and by that gift we have the ability to do things like question even divine things. For me, personally, beyond the obvious humor and fun in these stories, is a very real spiritual core that represents a celebration of our ability to think and reason and debate. I, again personally, don't believe God in all his omnipotence and power genuinely cares if I eat a cheeseburger or a regular hamburger, but I think that by explaining why I don't feel the kosher laws are as ironclad for modern life as they may have been in the past on a deeper level than 'I'd like a cheeseburger' I'm encouraged to study my culture's history and law and engage with it in a deeper way than blind obedience or knee-jerk rejection.
