Obviously duplo/lego were the best
I liked Popoids, I was really into collapsing and expanding the little tubes, and the noise it made when you did so. Unfortunately the plastic eventually inevitably wore through if you did it too much.

My Nana always got me a sub to Ranger Rick magazine.

It was filled with cute animals but also subversive ecological activism.


What kind of self-important raccoon has Ranger Rick turned into that he's too good to eat expired food? You're a raccoon Rick, you should be eating that food straight out of the garbage instead of guilt-tripping the badger over throwing it away.

It's amazing that it is still kicking. Every kid who used to get Playmobil as a birthday gift has grown up by now. All of them bearing the knowledge you should just get Lego.

Contrary to popular opinion, they're called Playmobil not because of their size and weight, but because they're from the Mobil region of Germany; anything else are just sparkling prefabricated imaginationwerfers.


Edit: drat typos ruining my already bad jokes.

Yeah, all the internet atheists are either burnt out old millennials who never go online or die-hard Qanon CHUDs.

Gen Z came along and immediately went "no god would make this planet" and moved on to weird esoteric shitposting.

And, credit where it's due, r/atheism really did 99.999% of the heavy lefting in making atheism something that should never be discussed because you'll be associated with gigantic dorkwads.

Yeah I have a higher power. It's either a group of druggies, a gathering of drunks or this doorknob.

I use the term "internet atheist" as a slur.

Even though whychristianssuck.com is now not available on the wayback machine because they simply put robots.txt in the url.

a shepherd's crook is a much better symbol of christianity, yeah

but death cults are a thing. imagine if he'd been hanged. everyone walking around today with little nooses around their necks or sewn into the hem of their clothes

speaking of death cults the Circumcellions, an 4th century, Berber Christian cult, was fuckin' lit.

quote:

[The Circumcellions] condemned property and slavery, and advocated free love, canceling debt, and freeing slaves.[5] Donatists prized martyrdom and had a special devotion for the martyrs, rendering honours to their graves. The Circumcellions regarded martyrdom as the true Christian virtue and, on occasion, members of this group assaulted Roman legionaries or armed travelers with simple wooden clubs to provoke them into attacking and martyring them. Others interrupted courts of law and verbally provoked the judge so that he would order their immediate execution (a normal punishment at the time for contempt of court).

If your current life sucks and the afterlife rules but suicide's a sin and a one-way ticket to eternal damnation, why not insult the judge and hope he sentence you to death?

God is a real hosed up dude to be like "ok nobody on earth gets into heaven until I send a chunk of Me down to be born as this guy who will get tortured and murdered horribly a while later, and then once he's dead you all can come chill with me as long as you agree that I totally did that so that you can get into heaven."

like, seems like a couple of steps in the middle were unnecessary?? who's making the decisions here again??

Or do the Forums not embed WebP? I've never tried.

Too late, Apple is using JPEG2/JPEG2000. Of course they’re the only ones to do so.
