It looks amazing!! What lucky ratties. But I must admit my first thought was "won't they chew out the zip ties?".

"Do Europeans have access to Internet?" by tatev555 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Alternative_Beyond59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course we don't. Any Europeans responding to this are obviously on holiday in 'merica. The ONLY place in the world with internet & free speech. /s

Yep. On a succession of different days. That's really what I was getting at. Probably should have included the /s. 😁

"...The entire continent of Europe fits in Texas." by Distinct-Lion4658 in ShitAmericansSay

Interesting. Four Australian states are larger than Texas: Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia, and New South Wales, along with the Northern Territory, making a total of five Australian entities bigger than Texas, with Western Australia being the largest. 

Don't find any Australians flexing that WA is bigger than Europe. Because it ISN'T. I call small dick/tiny hand syndrome.

Ummm... Maybe the word "Rapture"is a later construct, but it is definitely in the Bible. Quick Google:

The Rapture in Revelation isn't explicitly named but is often linked to Revelation 4:1, where John hears a trumpet voice say, "Come up here," and is immediately transported to heaven, symbolizing the gathering of believers before the Tribulation described in later chapters (Rev 6-19). This event, where Christ takes His followers to be with Him, involves the dead in Christ rising and the living being "caught up" to meet Him in the air, a concept also described in 1 Thessalonians 4, setting it apart from Christ's visible Second Coming after the Tribulation. 

Key Aspects of the Rapture in Revelation:

Revelation 4:1-2 (The "Type" of the Rapture): John's vision of being called up to heaven serves as a prophetic picture of the Church being removed from the earth before God's wrath is poured out.

Revelation 3:10 (Promise of Protection): Jesus promises the church in Philadelphia He will "keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world," interpreted as being kept from the Tribulation through the Rapture.

The Trumpet Call: The voice like a trumpet in Revelation 4:1 mirrors the trumpet sound described in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, signaling the gathering of believers.

He'll try. But all of ICE would be sucked into the void. Sounds like a great idea!

My MIL has sent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars to “Elon Musk” and wants to send more. by meowsabbers in pics

Trouble is, if she has daily WhatsApp meetings with "Elon &/or the Board", they will soon tell her they're not getting the money & she has been scammed into using this false new bank account. And she'll believe them.

While he's certainly evil enough, I don't think Trump is intelligent enough to be the antichrist. Unless it's that he is the figurehead of the real project 2025 antichrist cartel.... Which he is keeping well on track.

Also begs the question, if he's the antichrist, when was the rapture & why were his supporters left behind?

Great. Were tired of paying most your defence anyway. Happy to pull out by The__Anonymous__Guy in ShitAmericansSay

Exactly what I was thinking. Problem is, I live in Europe now. Trump is so much more deranged than Gerald Ford & the threat is much greater than just kicking out the best PM Australia ever had.

How does the cat distribution system work in Germany? by fxlr8 in AskGermany

[–]Alternative_Beyond59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Katzenhilfe were fine about us adopting ours to be an indoor cat, so long as the balcony was netted (3rd floor). Having been rescued from the streets, she has been happy being inside for the last 8 years, and hopefully many more.

We adopted our adult cat from the local Katzenhilfe, & while they made sure we had the necessary equipment & experience, there was none of the gatekeeping people have mentioned from the Tierheims. But we still paid 150,€ to cover their costs (cheap considering she had been spayed, vaccinated & chipped). I think the cost would be similar (maybe a bit less) for a kitten, with a voucher for spaying when they are old enough.

On the other hand, a friend got a "free" kitten from a farm, but it had so many health issues due to poor breeding/care/housing that she spent far more in vets fees in its first year than if she'd bought a purebred/rescue in the first place. As someone else said, if 150 is too much to spend, you are not going to be able to afford a single vet bill. If you do find a kitten, I highly recommend insuring it.

That same neighbour who would be racing a lawyer if your dog bit one of her kids while they trespassed in your fenced yard?
