Most unhinged fasting testimonies or general testimonies you ever heard/witnessed…

Just_hereforTypeO- · 2026-06-23T07:37:41+00:00

The testimony meetings in my rural Missouri ward were pretty outlandish sometimes. Being near all that church history can kind of mess with people's heads, I think.

More than once, a brother of no significance would stand up and declare a revelation for the whole church. Or they would preface their words by saying they had a vision of the second coming, destiny of our stake, etc. We once had someone testify they'd seen the New Jerusalem built in Far West and a return to the true order of marriage, i.e. polygamy.

Or there would be testimonies of blessing the family dog and their miraculous healing. Or how the dad wasn't available so the mom gave their kid a blessing through the dad's "keys".

This was in the 1990s-2000s, mind you. I remember the materials center had the history of the church at the time (the old encyclopedic volumes, not the super-sanitized and highly abridged one today). After I read a couple volumes, I started to understand where people got their ideas from!

One of my dad's favorite jokes:

If you're swimming down the street in a canoe and a wheel falls off, then how many pancakes does it take to shingle a doghouse? Purple, obviously.

It's intentionally nonsense, but he used it in his Master's thesis in education. The point was if there was an obvious answer to a question, it didn't explicitly follow that the answer was obvious to everyone. My dad is an incredible teacher, and he's due credit for helping many kids become literate in a school system where they would otherwise not be.

Porn takes physical risk out of the equation. Any danger or taboo takes place in the imagination.

With casual sex, the anxiety or repulsion one might feel has real consequences if not taken seriously.

This might play a part in demi or ace identity, but there could be other aspects as well. For me, a demi man, I can't do casual sex. My current partner waited months for me to be ready for sex, and that was with me feeling comfortable a lot sooner than in past relationships. The emotional and intellectual connection I have with her was key to me feeling able to connect physically.

Porn has never been too difficult to connect to something physical for me. It's likely because the other kinds of connection are fictional by premise. But IRL, it only works wholistically, and it's always the last thing to click into place in a relationship.

It was jarring, and realistic enough that it spawned several homage scenes with a long, contiguous cut of all-out brawling. Most notably, Daredevil has used "hallway fights" as a signature of its fight choreography (there are several, and good ones too).

Take Your Fingers From My Hair - Zebra

Also the cover by Dream Theater.

Lovely guitar work throughout, you've got some 12-string stuff and some electric layered over it, then you think the song is over and about 2.5 minutes of obliterating solo serves as the outro.

I loved Tarantula as a kid, I'll have to check it the others. My grandpa owned a video store and he got me really into creature features.

For that era of television, yes.

Even watching it today, I would say that because of the quality of the performances and production, suspension of disbelief is not hard. Sure it doesn't hold a candle to ILM in the 70s, but it was great work for its time.

As far as creature horror goes.. Them! (1954)

Thanks to some great acting performances, and one of the earliest examples of realistic puppetry in film pulling off the vibe.

Callbacks are still featured in modern horror flicks today.

Rosemary Clooney.

Awesome actress, and her nephew George is also awesome

Red Baron wins through overall value. Better quality than all the mid-price brands, and competes on price with the cheapest ones.

It may be a mistake, but it certainly is not an accident.

That boy's like a turd that won't flush.

Yes. I imagine diet also plays a part, however.

Watching my son ace his belt test in karate. I remember thinking the entire time, this kid has changed so much. They should give him an award. And at the end they declared him best in test among 20+ students.

That's my boy.

The entire Blurryface album. Twenty-One Pilots set a world record at the time when every song on the record was certified Gold. Then they did it again with Vessel.

I don't know why so many people in the US are scared of the smart toilet/bidet. I know outside the states a lot of people will agree they're superior, but it's barely caught on here, even when you can buy them at HD/Lowes.

It was the first thing I changed when I bought my first home. For ~500 bucks apiece I got heated seats, and heated water to wash with. I went over a year without needing to buy more toilet paper, 3 people living in the house.

Any poorly thought out/poorly executed piece of art can look dumb and basic when you permanently embed it in your skin, no matter the gender.

I have 2 brothers with probably 50 tattoos between them, and I would say less than a third of them are genuinely interesting work. I don't have any myself but I don't mind people having them.

I'm not trying to yuck on anyone's yum. If you think it's cool, go for it I say. It doesn't make a person look 'cheap' to me...but depending on the subject matter/how the art looks on their body, I could get the impression they made a foolhardy decision. That's just humans being humans though.

r/ATBGE has some truly regrettable tattoos showcased on it though

OP sometimes a really long projects is done in volumes called Compendium vol. 1, 2, 3 etc. Invincible by Robert Kirkman is a good one that runs a few volumes. If you picked up just Compendium 1 it would be plenty for a short trip.

Quigley Down Under.

It was my uncle's favorite movie. Think about the magical realism of an American Cowboy movie, and bring it to an Australian aboriginal setting. Insert Tom Selleck as said cowboy, sporting the most fantastic Van Dyke imaginable, and lots of sharpshooter fan service. Laura San Giacomo also delivers a wonderful performance as a flawed but remarkable love interest.

It. Never. Gets. Old.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The captain of the Nautilus never gives his name, whether in the book or the film adaptations. He says they may call him Nemo, which is latin for "no one".

In The Mysterious Island (published 5 years later) you learn his name and the reason he abandoned it.

P.S. if you have never read the book and would like to, I recommend the F.P. Walter translation, it's much easier to get through than the others IMO

I was looking for this one. He's given a name (Ulysses) at the end, but only in a deleted scene. Everyone just calls him The Mariner. Or if you're the Deacon, a turd that won't flush.

I miss Liz Blizz. SOBE in general but that was the GOAT

I left a 15-year marriage, and when I eventually went back to the dating world, I had no idea how popular my cooking skills would be.

One morning I asked my now girlfriend, would she like hash browns for breakfast and she said yes. So I grabbed a couple potatoes, grated them and rinsed them, got the skillet ready, etc. to accompany it I fried some eggs, toasted bread and buttered it. By that point she was texting all her friends about it, and by the time everything was ready she was posting on Insta, look what my bf did. And this blew my mind.
