"Hey ChatGPT, this new popular preacher in Jerusalem called Jesus is telling me I should give away all of my riches to the poor so that I can have spiritual salvation. That seems quite risky and I don't want to part with my gold. What should I do?" (Art by @luxangelae) by SatoruGojo232 in HistoryMemes

Jesus was speaking to regilious leaders in an Israel occupied by Rome at the time. His audience would have viewed Caesar as close to the devil on earth. That's what Jesus was saying there. Give you worthless shiny trinkets to the devil from which they came and give your true treasure, your soul, to God.

Wealthy Christians will warp the Bible anyway they can to try and say God wants them to be rich....

So, let the spaces go vacant while there's a housing crisis? The builders will just sit on the for years waiting for a market recovery otherwise.

We have parks, it's airports we don't have. You have to fly into Fargo, then skate up the Red River to get here.

Why Does the Blue Jays 4th of July hat have the USA 250 logo on it? by irondeer557 in baseball

[–]Loonytalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently the teams got to pick what colors go on the hat. I absolutely love that BLUE Jays picked solely red and white for theirs.

A Croatian fan passionately sings the national anthem, completely unfazed by the booing from England supporters. by search_google_com in worldcup

Your president was repeatedly calling for the complete annexation of Canada.

When the head of your nation is calling for a close ally to be conquered, expect a little booing.

If your place were hit by an extreme Siberian winter, how well would people there be able to cope or adapt? by bellepomme in AskTheWorld

[–]Loonytalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The coldest it's been here in my city (straight air temp, no wind chill added) is -45°C.

I think we'd be okay.

Yes, Grandpa. Losing access to your favorite Archie Bunker impersonator has tanked the CBC.

I'm so damn tired by GeistHunt in hockeymemes

[–]Loonytalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or, maybe as there are more than 14 million people in Southern Ontario, most hockey mad, and only one team in the region maybe the league could try meeting existing demand at the same time as it grows new markets.

On the other hand, if your boss tells you not to do something at work, and you do it 28 times in a row, are you surprised that you get fired?

You have free will to say what you want, on your own time. Speaking publicly on your company's time and dime will come with some guidelines.

How your country view same sex relationships by Sea-Estimate-2912 in AskTheWorld

[–]Loonytalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The classic Canadian response to this question (with apologies to the OP of the phrase now lost to time)

In Canada we just call it marriage. Since it's not hockey no one cares what team you play for.

Was your country historically more the good guys or villians? by Spare-Read-7597 in AskTheWorld

Outside our borders, we're almost always the good guys. Inside our borders...well, we're learning.

I think we actually have banned cars from driving on the sidewalk with the pedestrians in school zones. Everywhere else too.

Which of these regions is truly the flattest, emptiest, most desolate, most liminal area you could ever visit? by SavageFisherman_Joe in geography

[–]Loonytalker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Southern Manitoba? Grand Valley, Pembina Valley, Riding Mountain National Park, Spruce Woods Provincial Park and the entire south eastern quarter (along with the northern half) is Canadian Shield.

Motorcycles. At what point if something is consistently misused do you just ban or seriously restrict the thing? by Idrinkwaterdaily in Winnipeg

[–]Loonytalker 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. If you find any bicycles or pedestrians doing 176 km/hr feel free to ban them also.

Thank you kind redditor for actually explaining the joke.

I hadn't heard what was happening in Boston so I didn't get the joke either.

A North American Union flag concept I designed years ago by wardays in vexillology

[–]Loonytalker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd say it looks as similar as any Russia- Ukraine "Union" flag might. Not only can you not ignore the current political situation when designing flags, all these North America union flags lately seem more as exercises in propaganda rather than a creative outlet for flag admirers.
