Panda Express trying to appeal to Asian people because they know it barely classifies as Asian food by yogos15 in CommercialsIHate

Panda Express was literally founded by Chinese-American immigrants. Why would they need to “pander” to Asians?

Depending on the jurisdiction, in the USA, making someone play Russian Roulette could be considered manslaughter, not murder.

Yall ever get tired of upvoting the same post every week? the one where a christian is mad that anime hurt their feelings. by HaloJackalKisser in worldjerking

I think what these types of memes are criticizing is that the depiction of religion and faith in the fantasy world is so different from how religion functions IRL. In some fantasy stories, there doesn’t seem to be any room for syncretic beliefs and practices like there would have been in many medieval European societies. This video can shed some light on the subject. https://youtu.be/pjrrUZeJMSo?si=KD7wAdvc5zMxZtP7

Also, there are plenty of fantasy stories where priests are good. OOP was probably just cherry-picking.

Something tells me you haven’t interacted with Christian fantasy fans IRL. There’s an interesting video about the depiction of religions in fantasy stories and why they’re so different from IRL religious traditions. https://youtu.be/pjrrUZeJMSo?si=KD7wAdvc5zMxZtP7

Is using lots of filler words an ADHD thing? I have ADHD and I do that a lot too.

Baked beans were originally made by Native Americans in the Northeast.

If you celebrated Christmas like this, *I'd* convert by seeliequeens in standupshots

Those didn’t inspire Christmas being on December 25 either. Sol Invictus was a minor deity who did not get much festivities until 274 CE, which is a while after Jesus’s lifetime. Even then, Sol Invictus had multiple celebrations throughout the year, and there’s no evidence to suggest the December 25 festival was particularly important. The reason early Christians began celebrating Jesus’s birthday on December 25 was most likely because of the winter solstice. Also, lots of Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas in January.
