It’s ok to be jealous and mad and sad and angry and any other “negative” emotion… You’re not being toxic you’re being human. The point at which you become toxic is when you’re letting these emotions seep into how you treat others
What’s really wild is that the native people literally told the Europeans “they walked” when asked how the statues were moved. The Europeans were like “lol these backwards heathens and their fairy tales guess it’s gonna always be a mystery!”
Maori told Europeans that kiore were native rats and no one believed them until DNA tests proved it
Roopkund Lake AKA “Skeleton Lake” in the Himalayas in India is eerie because it was discovered with hundreds of skeletal remains and for the life of them researchers couldn’t figure out what it was that killed them. For decades the “mystery” went unsolved.
Until they finally payed closer attention to local songs and legend that all essentially said “Yah the Goddess Nanda Devi got mad and sent huge heave stones down to kill them”. That was consistent with huge contusions found all on their neck and shoulders and the weather patterns of the area, which are prone to huge & inevitably deadly goddamn hailstones. https://www.facebook.com/atlasobscura/videos/10154065247212728/
Literally these legends were past down for over a thousand years and it still took researched 50 to “figure out” the “mystery”. 🙄
This thing. It’s going to follow you. Somebody gave it to me and I passed it to you back in the car. It could look like someone you know. Or it could be a stranger in a crowd. Whatever helps it to get close to you. It could look like anyone but there’s only one of it.
they/them “I’m not a man i’m non-binary” men who are really into makeup are so fucking insufferable like wow it’s great that you can treat femininity like a fun hobby meanwhile lots of women literally have to wear makeup in order to keep their jobs lmfao
I regret writing this card, it was a mean, cheap joke. We took it out of the game a while ago.
thanks! I wish that more people in comedy realized they could just, uh, do this, and not throw a big fucking stink about it, and go on to make more jokes that are good instead of bad. It is strange that so many people seem to imagine that a simple and sincere apology is a difficult or terrible thing to give.
Cards Against Humanity is a group of people writing immensely offensive joke prompts and punchlines for a living, and if they’re collectively a better person than you are when it comes to being called out on offensive language and jokes, you should really reconsider your behavior.
Just to be clear, Hillary Clinton could straight up die and relay her orders to the oval office every morning via a fuckin ouija board and she’d STILL be a better president than Trump
canada sort of had this form of government for a while way back so. can confirm, necrocacy for the win
boy am I glad you asked
i’m gonna do this from memory so i’m sorry if the details are vague or a lil wrong… i am but a humble canadian history student.
so. it wasn’t a zombie. it was actually a oujia board a la OP’s idea. but see, the canadian public didn’t know about it — so it was like, a secret nercrocratic dictatorship. not a dictatorship, that is an exaggeration. but i mean… imagine the conspiracy theorists being like… the country is secretly run by ghosts… and they’re right about it.
basically, William Lyon Mackenzie King, canada’s on-again off-again PM during parts of WW1 and the depression and WW2 (he was super wishy-washy on stuff, which meant he lost office often, but also meant it was easy for him to get back into office) was secretly an edgy gothik preteen. and also an orphan. because he was a firm believer in the occult and privately used ouija boards to have consultations with his dead parents to make political decisions sometimes. that was a thing.
for example he communed with the ghosts to decide whether to declare war when hitler started being an ass and england was all like, yo, canada, we’re going to war and as you’ve recently been given autonomy we have to ASK you whether you wanna fight too. so King asked the ghost of his dead father and the dead father was like “nah son, hitler totally just got shot by some polish guy and is dead. you’re fine.”
spoiler alert, he wasn’t dead. but King of course trusted his dead dad who, being dead, is clearly the expert on death and dead things. which is why canada didn’t join WW2 right away. we didn’t get in on the conflict until later.
(of course, though, we didn’t learn about King’s involvement with the dead until he was dead himself and historians started going through his diaries like the creepers that historians are. i bet that was a bit of a shock…)
tl;dr a ghost dictated canada’s involvement in the second world war and shit was cray. you can watch the episodes of ‘canada: a people’s history’ pertinent to King’s lifetime and learn all about it. peace dog
Okay but I wanna know how the conversation went between Minister King and his dead dad the next time they were in contact. “Oh, wait, you meant that Adolf Hitler? Oops, sorry.”
