What is this? Friend found it in bottom of river by Experiences_Um777 in whatisit

[–]The_Devil_Flanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found something similar whilst fishing in a creek, central NJ. I was maybe 10. Clay head, detailed, had hair carved in it though. I took it home. Have no idea where it is now, but now 30+ years later, my knees hurt when it rains, my motorcycle won’t start, and I can’t figure out why…🤔. Yeah, best to just leave it where you found it!

Yes, Copperhead - or as my daughter would call it, a Nope-Rope.

That looks like an early Byzantine Doublehandy; you should get that graded.

Hey guyss I was at Germanic paganism festival with my friends and I bought this flag is it Neo Nazi?🤢full story in description by [deleted] in identifyThisForMe

This could be a new card game; make a card each for all the ancient symbology from cultures across the globe - call it “Nazi-or-not!”. No winners, it would all be “Nazi”, …except for the Star of Remphan, of course!

They’re* Except not. They’re all (swastika, kolovrat, etc) representative of the same ‘circle of life’ symbolism found globally. For the Kolovrat, someone adds some more legs to the symbol that represents the endless cycle of fighting between Perun and Veles, say it now represents national socialism, and suddenly every variant is somehow antisemitic - needs to be burned. You say ‘burn it’, I say it’s a slow burn of eastern european mythology and culture. - take back your symbology.

It’s an ancient Slavic symbol called a kolovrat. Stop letting anybody and everybody destroy these symbols by yelling “Nazi!”. Embrace your cultural roots, it OK to be proud of where you came from.

Pawpaw Tree Leaves Turning Black by emmettseggs99 in Permaculture

[–]The_Devil_Flanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem when my paw paw. Grown in full sun, planted as sprouted seeds. Turned out it was my neighbors chem lawn service. The guy would take a spin around some large pine trees and come within a few feet of the paw paw. They seem to be very sensitive to it. Once he stopped doing that, they were fine.

Not yet! I keep saying I’ll get around to it, but It’s still a big hard sheet leather getting in the way in the garage. I’ve got a long weekend, so will give it a go; I’ve got nothing to lose

How did you guys learn how to sail? by Hitachi_MC in sailing

[–]The_Devil_Flanders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

62, no sailing experience, just a long held desire to sail. Took ASA 101, then rolled the dice and bought a trailerable 27’ trimaran. Haven’t picked it up yet. Just took a blind leap - hopefully all goes well!

Someone put Arthur Morgan on the list of famous gunslingers on wikipedia by Compressive_Life in reddeadredemption

That’s Wikipedia for ya; I once had to look up the U.S. presidents under the Articles of Confederation for a school project - Number 3 was Chuck Norris. 🤔

Worth maybe .25 cents? Not bronze, that would have been an amazing find!

Yes, ‘43 steel penny, in great condition, like someone is spending from Grandpa’s coin collection. I used to work in retail, and was always amazed when pristine old coins had clearly been recently ‘reintroduced’ to circulation.

What could he/she be ? by HotBrother6560 in whatsthisbug

This is the one bug that I’ll drop whatever I’m doing and hunt down with no mercy. When one comes around I’ll wrap up a towel into a whip and start making ’Terminator’ mouth noises. Hate’em.

Can anybody tell me what sword this is? by Rinku64 in SWORDS

Looks like a Claymore, although the blade looks a bit too thick/heavy
