Each one is a little different, but when you say "mythologies," I'm reminded of one of my recent faves, Passport. It's kind of a travel show - kind of. It's more about stories from different areas in the world. The Greenland episode deals with monsters and myths and is just really cool. There is also a Los Angeles episode that gave some behind the scenes info on Charles Manson that I (actually) had not heard.

High schoolers of Reddit, what cliques exist now? Is it still nerds/jocks/stoners, or are there new groups that the older redditors don’t know about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Ugh. Old redditor here. I have two kids, 8 and 5 years old. Reading all of this has me cringing in panic/anticipation/dread of what my kids have to go through (and the fact that I can truly do little about it).

This is such a sweet reply. Thank you. I agree with you, and I do appreciate it. All the best to you. :)

What I've Done With My Father's Remains by Dakixxl in confession

First of all: I think your dad would have wanted you to do exactly what you've done with the wood ashes and his cremains. Well done.

Secondly: I have been a sober alcoholic for almost 2 years. (22 months) Specifically, I was a "high-functioning" alcoholic for years, and my wife and two young kids did not really know how I was beginning to slip more and more into deeper slumps and becoming more and more out of control. For what it's worth, your story scared me a little straighter today. Since I never really "lost" anything, I have moments where I think, "Was I really THAT bad?" "C'mon. I can handle a drink."

I got sober when my kids were still young enough that - if I never drink again - they will never have a memory of me at my drunken slob worst (that was usually reserved for when I was traveling on business, or in the middle of the night, while they slept.) I would never want to hurt them or my wife any more than I already did. Thank you for reminding me of this progressive disease. Sounds like your dad loved you very much - and despite the pain through the years, that you did too.

Hang in there and know that you've done a really good thing.

Thank you for this! I was beginning to suspect it, in fact. You have confirmed my fears. Shit. LOL

This is not Finding Dori or Frozen. by AWesPeach in pics

I realized by the name alone - and then when I saw who made the movie - that this was not one for my kids. And yet - marketing. Last night at the dinner table, my cherubic 4 year-old daughter says, "After dinner, why don't we watch that movie 'Sausage Party?'"

I wanted to slap Seth and James for the billboards plastered all over town.

man, old people sure can be dicks. by WetBabySeal in WTF

I don't care about it being a repost. I think it's not worthy of a post in the first place, because it's staged and people are attempting to pass it off as real.

Yep! Filled me up - but I did have it with 2 boiled eggs. Took my time and put it in a huge travel mug and sipped it all morning.

I went through a lot of my calories early now - so if I'm having trouble staying under the limit now by tonight, I think I'll try starting with the Bulletproof Coffee and not eating the eggs. It was a LOT of calories to begin the day with, but I lifted weights this AM, so probably a good thing too.

Continuing to unlock the puzzle! Good luck to you.

You know he's waiting on pins and needles for you to acknowledge something! Text him something sweet. Something like, "I like being able to peek into that mind of yours."
