  • telling him this is not “draining the swamp” as he promised to do during his first presidency

    They realised this only now? Imagine what they will realize 9 years from now!

  • Sambal Oelek

  • Yeah that was his brand

  • Salvador Dali was a practitioner:

    "The most important thing in the world is the arsehole." For Dali, the body no longer had any secrets. He had devised a special procedure to ensure that a woman on all fours would present her anus to greatest advantage: he would place a spirit level on her back, and when the air bubble was precisely in the middle, he claimed, her anus would flower in its full glory. On occasions, he would ask female visitors to sit on a bed of moist clay with their buttocks parted, in order to take an impression of their orifices. He would subsequently frame the impressions, adding the names of the ladies in question. Supposedly -and this again demonstrates Dali's tirelessly investigative cast of mind - the anus has thirty-five or thirty-seven little creases which are as unique as fingerprints. He regretted that he could not account for the variation in number, but noted that it had nothing to do with social class, and that thirty-fives were as likely to be found among the aristocracy as among the working classes. Only the backsides of identical twins had exactly the same pattern and number of creases. He conducted experiments to substantiate his claim, and made the impressions of twins' behinds into candelabra.

  • I just got banned by saying 'Ivermectin' (literally, that was the whole comment) in a thread on /r/askhistory about weird drug usage by Hitler.

    The reason: Harrasment (3 day ban).

  • I've found the zombie!

  • You don't see many that call it war crimes, is what I meant.

  • Yeah it's that part that is the newsworthy bit, not the fact that Israel sends soldiers to commit crimes, but that an Israeli minister acknowledges it.

  • The library had a book with photographs of all the horrific acts of the concentration camps during ww2. I was young, so I had a curiosity for the macabre and not the empathy I have now. But just recalling those images is horrible. I don't recall the name of the book but is was 4cm thick full with the most horrible pictures imaginable.

    Rotten.com was mild in comparison.

  • Prevost was prior general of the Augustine order and later the prefect of the dicastery of bishops. He has a lot of experience steering and organisation like that and great connections amongst the episcopal branch.

    I think he'll do just fine, certainly having Francis pave the way for him.

  • That's right. If they poped that guy they would've taken the one thing from him that's cool.

  • 9 hours

  • You might have missed the joke

  • Exactly, the movie trope is very wrong in the mechanism of action. This is no schience meme

  • There is some meaning in the name he chose. Most popes choose a name of a pontiff which values they share. Pope Leo 13 was a pope that was very concerned with workers rights:

    Pope Leo (XIII) outlined the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and the formation of trade unions, while affirming the rights to property and free enterprise, opposing both socialism and laissez-faire capitalism. With that encyclical, he became popularly titled as the "Social Pope" and the "Pope of the Workers",

    I can't wait to see how this first American pontiff will put this moral policy towards the Christians of his native country (and others' for that matter).

    Certainly as the president who, just recently, imagined himself fit to be pope, sees him as a natural ally as he only thinks that way himself. I curious how Leo XIV will handle that situation, it will be one of the biggest tests of his pontificate.

  • PLus that claim responsability for archievements they had nothing to do with.

    Or cheat and be proud of winning.

    And so on...

  • He's the lesser of two weevils, though.

    Let him out his money where his mouth is
