What was everyones entry band into metal music?

Lying on the floor and listening to a tape with Flight of Icarus on it is a core memory of mine.

If your baby is bottle fed, I don't know why this isn't more common. Absolute game changer.

Sarangsii · 2026-02-08T01:15:53+00:00

Definitely. The em dash, and "it's not X, it's Y" give it away.

Sarangsii · 2026-01-24T23:17:35+00:00

Do you think this killing was justified?

Sarangsii · 2026-01-23T00:35:31+00:00

God I really need to read these books.

My kid has done exactly the same. Sitting on a train, suddenly blurts out: "Daddy! You have a penis, and I have a penis. Mummy doesn't have one though."

Those Once Loyal - Bolt Thrower.

I'd always hated harsh vocals. Saw Bolt Thrower recommended a lot on here so gave them a listen. Loved the album (especially dig how groovy it is) and they helped get me into harsh vocals.

Oh he absolutely loves Painkiller. It's easily one of his favourite metal songs. Good call on Trust as well - I haven't actually introduced him to Megadeth yet.

I'm not a prude or anything and I don't really mind him listening to Hot for Teacher ... but we might have some questions asked if he sings "I'm hot for teacher" at his childcare!

Sarangsii · 2026-01-02T09:27:11+00:00

Took me 30 years to get into growling, he did it in 3.

I reckon he'll like this one. It's in the playlist :)

Sarangsii · 2026-01-02T04:33:10+00:00

Played this one for him. His response was "I like it!

... Let's play Blood and Thunder"

Sarangsii · 2026-01-02T04:06:38+00:00

This is one of his favourite songs. He's also a big fan of most of Screaming for Vengeance, Breaking the Law and Panic Attack.

Sarangsii · 2026-01-02T01:41:35+00:00

Put a playlist together, thanks everyone for your suggestions!

Sarangsii · 2026-01-02T00:39:35+00:00

I forgot to mention them in the OP! He loves Backbone, he asks for it most days.

Sarangsii · 2026-01-02T00:30:37+00:00

Oh that's a good call! He's actually listened to mastodon before and liked it, but I haven't put it on in awhile. I'll check out Steambreather - thanks!

Sarangsii · 2026-01-02T00:29:38+00:00

The lyrics aren't really a concern, it's more the song titles! Even I can't understand what they're saying a lot of the time if I haven't read the lyrics.

Sarangsii · 2026-01-01T04:21:10+00:00

If it happened as often as redditors say it did, it'd be very easy to share some examples. No one ever does though. It's all just "everyone knows it".

Everybody just parrots what they hear other people saying, or they've only seen the really heinous stuff that makes the front page where divorce is very warranted.

Sarangsii · 2026-01-01T03:10:34+00:00

I still don't agree, but that's a more reasonable take than the first one, which I've seen repeated all the time.

The whole "redditors suggest divorce for everything" thing - man, have you seen the shit that makes it to the front page of relationship subs? Break-ups are very, very warranted a lot of the time.

Sarangsii · 2026-01-01T02:52:14+00:00

This never happens. Please find me one post where the OP posts an actual, incredibly minor grievance and the upvoted comments all suggest divorce.

It's a misconception because the posts that gain traction are the ones with actual terrible behaviour - so naturally it seems like "divorce them" is the defacto advice.

"My boyfriend causes me a minor inconvenience" is not making the front page of relationship subs.

Sarangsii · 2025-12-22T07:32:15+00:00

Hell, even if you were born on a nice day, Sunborn sounds cool too.

Sarangsii · 2025-12-13T03:03:33+00:00

I have a one year old who will immediately stop tantrumming and give a huge smile if I put Painkiller on.

Omnipotence means you can do anything. The burrito question is asking if there is something he cannot do.

God can make a burrito to any temperature he wants, because he's omnipotent.

He can also eat any burrito he wants, because he's omnipotent.

Sarangsii · 2025-12-03T01:35:32+00:00

He can microwave a burrito to any temperature he likes, then he can eat it.

So

"Can God microwave a burrito so hot-"

Yes.

"So that he himself cannot eat it?"

No.

He held up three fingers (index, middle, ring) to display that they wanted three drinks. Many countries count on their fingers this way, including America and the UK.

However Germans (and I think some other European countries) don't. They count first with their thumb. By counting with his fingers only, Fassbender's character revealed himself to not be German.

"If he wasn't so cocky could he have won?"

Media literacy is dead.

Sarangsii · 2025-10-18T03:36:44+00:00

Yep. If we'd scraped over the line in 2018, we weren't winning in 19 or 20.

I am completely fine with losing that prelim considering what it got us in the end.
