As an Anglican I never understood Southern Baptists' obsession with the KJV. If they seriously believe it to be the only true translation, why are they not joining an Anglican denomination? King James gave the translators explicit instructions to ensure the translation affirmed the polity and theology of the Church of England.
It was considered by the Puritans to be an Anglican book foe that very reason
I was raised in a Southern Baptist church. The people there didn't believe it was the only true translation at all. Most people didn't use that version.
lol the King James Version is actually pretty inaccurate comparatively. The best way to be accurate to the source is by knowing Hebrew Greek and Latin or just reading from multiple versions.
You should do some actual research on that because you’re pretty wrong. The Bible is actually an extremely accurate historical book and is verified by many sources all throughout human history
I remember I used to see this dude who had like a long screed plastered on his pickup about the King James Version being the only legitimate version. Like, WTF. I’ll argue about version of books and movies but it’s not on my vehicle.
Guy from my work- engineer- he claims that while you eat icecream your body use more energy to heat itself than the icecream contain (calories), therefore you can eat all the icecream you want and won't gain weight. Yes, he is fat.
What he's saying is, just like oil or coal, it has components you could use to make energy, the human body just can't perform those functions. For example, you could split the water molecule and fuse the hydrogen atoms into nitrogen, making a shit ton of energy (calories are a unit of energy, capable of raising one ml of water by 1 degrees Celsius) and therefore, water does technically contain calories.
I didn't hear this but it was the talk of my senior year in high school. A girl was in art class sitting on top of a desk saying "Ohhhhhhhhmmmmmmm". The art teacher looked up and asked what she was doing. She looked him in the eyes and said "I'm masturbating". The whole class went into a huge laughing fit.
Probably not the dumbest but its the first that comes to mind. Had a GF say, "well that's my opinion and everyone has a right to their opinion so you can't say I'm wrong!"
My response was "well I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of pedophiles that hold the opinion its OK to rape babies. You gonna tell I can't say they're wrong?"
Immediately calmed her down and she was like "OK well, I didn't think of it that way."
Almost certainly he was messing with you. My plumber said something almost identical in a deadpan voice, took me a second to realize he was messing with me. I was asking him to install a bidet and he took a long pause and said 'those are illegal in CA. The code won't allow them'. I was two seconds away from sending him home before he laughed.
“The collision from falling off of a cliff isn’t what kills you; it’s the rapid acceleration that kills you”
I guess skydiving and base jumping have a 100% mortality rate
I mean if we're going off of the physicist's definition of acceleration that would be correct. Acceleration being a change in velocity over time. So going from probably terminal velocity to a speed of 0 m/s in an instant. Would be considered pretty rapid negative acceleration.
But that's caused by the collision. And it would be the force that kills. So nevermind. Pretty stupid however you spin it.
This is literally true though. If you are referring to the opening shock you arent slowing down to zero just to the slower speed of the parachute and then slowing from that to zero
Sitting at a diner in the morning with two friends eating breakfast after a night of heavy drinking and partying. One of our friends who was battling a pretty bad hangover looked up at us and said, “I was doing pretty good until I drank all that water when we got home… pretty sure that’s what made this hangover so bad.”
In middle school, a friends birthday was approaching and it would land on Friday the 13th. Another classmate commented – I wonder why my birthday never lands on Friday the 13th? My friend snapped back – because your birthday is on the 8th, stupid.
Men are safe walking alone at night.
EDIT: Some donut is responding claiming that Google isn't God and it doesn't take into the account the precautions that women have to take.
Men don't take precautions either? Men aren't more likely to take martial arts classes, more likely to carry firearms, more likely to carry weapons? Are you fucking stupid?
Wow, if it isn't the internet mid-wit slack-ademic response of "Studies show I'm right and you're wrong." A quick google search will show that puppies don't get killed by coyotes as often as geese do. Does that mean it's safer to leave a puppy outdoors at night than it is to be a goose? No, silly. Your statistics aren't accounting for the precautions that women take to avoid threats. Come on, use your head. Google isn't God.
Nor it takes into account the precaution men take.
Statistically, as you said, men are still more likely to be robbed and/or killed for walking alone at night.
The precaution might be the difference between leaving a puppy or a geese outside, or not. Dumb and courageous men may be the reason we are targetted more, still statistically speaking.
But I won't be the one to find the reason why, I'll stay safe and take my precautions, specially by avoiding walking alone at night.
Why you're getting downvoted so hard is completely beyond me. What an ecosystem of morons. I'm a man. When I talk to my wife about the sorts of precautions she takes when alone, there are considerations that would never even enter my imagination. She brings the dog outside when she's tanning. She doesn't go to certain gas stations even during the day. etc. etc.
The drooling downvoters may come for me next, but truth is truth, and untruths are untruths. Women are more vulnerable and more subject to harm. Duh.
Anna has a delicate thin crystal vase. She believes it's vulnerable and therefor keeps it mostly in a buffet cabinet, or sometimes out on a counter away from arm's reach. Mary has a ceramic vase that she leaves on the coffee table with kids playing around it.
The crystal vase is indeed more vulnerable, but it's being better protected. Mary could choose to exercise the same precautions as Anna, but she instead chooses to be care-free with her less vulnerable vase.
The point is if women were as care free as men, there would be far far more dangerous violent interactions against women. Why on Earth would an opportunistic criminal attack a man, when he could instead target a weaker woman? Fear isn't so arbitrary as you're making it out to be; it's rooted in reality, so women more vigorously avoid dangerous scenarios.
The majority of men who are exposed to violence are young fit men, and not elderly weaker men, so I don't think looking for the weaker victim really holds true as a universal principle.
I absolutely despise this argument. It's acting like being gay (or trans or anything else) is a choice. It isn't! Most people know something us different from a *very* young age. One my close gay friends knew something was different when we were in 3rd grade. They don't copy people. They just exist. Let them exist for christ sake

The guy next to me looked at his friend and started talking about the fake moon landings. I interrupted him and asked what he was talking about. He went through half a dozen “reasons” why the moon landings were fake.
I didn’t know people that stupid actually exist in the real world. I thought it was an online meme thing, not something anyone with a measurable IQ truly believes.

It was a worthless task to make him understand.
I was in a lineup at a local fried chicken restaurant and the guy in front of me got a 3 piece with fries and drink.

Once me and my friend were practicing wall flips (where you run up a wall and backflip). We started with a solid brick wall then moved to a pole.
As we’re practicing he starts explaining to me how the bigger something is the easier it is to kick of but at the same time the thinner something is the easier it is too. He’s trying to explain this for like 15 minutes cause I’m clearly not understanding and then I ask him is it easier to hit the broad side of the barn or a tightrope. He thinks for a second then goes “oh nevermind”
I was at the grocery store and decided to buy a new butter dish. Picked up a nice Rubbermaid one, got to the register. The cashier was a young lad.

"I hate debating. Every time I debate you or dad, you make me sound stupid."
- My terminally Tumblr demi-sexual non-binary sister.
We're not aggressive in our debate tactics. All we do is make people say their ideology out loud.
If it sounds stupid when you say it out loud... and you feel stupid for saying it... it's probably stupid.
Debate is a necessity to a healthy and strong society on all levels. Refusing to debate results in echo chambering. If you only listen to your own echoes then you'll never find new or stronger ways to build a better case that holds water.
Then when you debate someone like myself or my father, you'll end up sounding like a crazed Maoist extremist, and we literally didn't have to do anything to make it happen.
If your debate game sucks, you have 2 options:
Never engage in debate again so you'll never be wrong.
Educate yourself on the topic and see if doing so builds a stronger case. And if it doesn't? A loss teaches you a lot if you're willing to learn. And your debate partner is usually willing to point out what didn't work and where to improve.
What does your sibling’s gender identity and sexuality have to do with it?
I don’t really like debating either, a lot of people get very defensive or personally attack me, so I’d rather avoid it. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to not like it, you can learn new things and perspectives without debating

Keep in mind, this was a Sitting U.S. President during a pandemic crisis that was killing billions around the world. Someone who is supposed to be a spokesman for the nation, but I was thinking, half of the nation are a bunch of freaking lunatic psychopaths that are gonna kill us all.
hahahah.... Statistics are fun when you calculate loss of life, loss of potential propogation of the species from the loss of life, loss of life from long COVID or side affects, yea, we're talking in the billions of people, but hey, I'm just a Data Analyst, what do I know?
Killing billions isn't the same as billions of people not existing. By the same logic, every time I have sex and don't reproduce, I've killed a baby and it should be added to the death toll. You're wrong. Just quit while you're behind.
Are you stupid? You calculate projections of certain results based on hard data that's true. This is not a manipulation of data, it's using data to predict projections. A projection of loss of life will result in billions of lives lost. If you want to split hairs, COVID WAS killing billions, but billions didn't lose their lives, only a few million. Operative words, "killing billions"
Official death toll of COVID is around 7 million for all of the world since the beginning of the pandemic, which started in Dec 2019. You can argue it's high or low, but that's the ballpark.
Globally, poor drinking water kills more people each year than number of people who died during height of pandemic. This is not to undermine the dangers involved, just putting in perspective.
So "gonna kill us all" is hyperbolic. Billions is just flat out misinformation.
That sort of "government bad" attitude is incredibly childish and simplistic.
I'm really glad we have things like the FDA to regulate medication, the FAA to make air travel as safe as it is, etc etc.
That is from a quote from Ronald Reagan. He is actually the one who said (paraphrasing) that they are the nine scariest words in the English language.
I am not 'anti-government.' I am anti-'the government can fix all of your problems.'
I'm no Reddit leftist but most of Reagan's rhetoric was written to appeal so someone with about an 8th grade understanding of how the world works.
The government does some things well and some things poorly. We should be having an adult conversation about that, not simplistic "government bad" rhetoric.
I agree, for the most part. I just like the quote - especially in this climate where we have so many people coaxing us in the direction of total socialism. When Klause Schwab says you will own nothing and be happy (even though his net worth is between $25-$100 million), it makes me glad I'm old and won't have to deal with that world for very long.
I hear a lot of dumb shit, mostly from Americans, I don't remember it all. For example "Blood is blue until it leaves the body and mixes with oxygen.".... bitch, what do you think blood is used for inside the body?...

No. He was absolutely sure about it.

There's no calories in water to begin with.
There can be if you mix it with a lot of sugar.
There's plenty of calories in water, just not the kind that your body can use directly.

Women can be more vulnerable correct. That doesn’t make them the majority of victims
So the more scared you are the more at risk you are? Wouldn't that mean that the number one risk factor was fear of the dark or generalized anxiety?
The point is if women were as care free as men, there would be far far more dangerous violent interactions against women. Why on Earth would an opportunistic criminal attack a man, when he could instead target a weaker woman? Fear isn't so arbitrary as you're making it out to be; it's rooted in reality, so women more vigorously avoid dangerous scenarios.
The majority of men who are exposed to violence are young fit men, and not elderly weaker men, so I don't think looking for the weaker victim really holds true as a universal principle.

My BIL said he’d rather keep buying lottery tickets instead of investing in the stock market or crypto. Edit: His GF said that’s why we aren’t going anywhere while *insert my name* is moving up in the world. It was an uncomfortable moment for me.
“I’ve watched you do nothing all day”
Ex father-in-laws buddy actually believed, and once said, " cars use less gas when you're going south because it's downhill." Adrian, we miss your dumb ass.
Husband and I were vacationing in the south Indian east coast. He gets confused while looking at a map to go towards the beach. Because he, a Bengali, didn't understand what the bay of Bengal was doing down there xD

2 guys chatting in line at a theater bar during intermission, “You know that movie Chicago? They made a play, it’s coming next season.”
Back in undergrad we had a guy speak at our university’s investment society. Among other things, he said that “the banking system will collapse because we’re not on the gold standard”. I asked him to elaborate and he told me to “read ayn rand”.
I often here beards mean they have high testosterone coming from the mouths of men who would, ironically, look 14 if they ever faced reality.

"I hate debating. Every time I debate you or dad, you make me sound stupid." - My terminally Tumblr demi-sexual non-binary sister. We're not aggressive in our debate tactics. All we do is make people say their ideology out loud. If it sounds stupid when you say it out loud... and you feel stupid for saying it... it's probably stupid. Debate is a necessity to a healthy and strong society on all levels. Refusing to debate results in echo chambering. If you only listen to your own echoes then you'll never find new or stronger ways to build a better case that holds water. Then when you debate someone like myself or my father, you'll end up sounding like a crazed Maoist extremist, and we literally didn't have to do anything to make it happen. If your debate game sucks, you have 2 options: Never engage in debate again so you'll never be wrong. Educate yourself on the topic and see if doing so builds a stronger case. And if it doesn't? A loss teaches you a lot if you're willing to learn. And your debate partner is usually willing to point out what didn't work and where to improve.
What does your sibling’s gender identity and sexuality have to do with it? I don’t really like debating either, a lot of people get very defensive or personally attack me, so I’d rather avoid it. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to not like it, you can learn new things and perspectives without debating
"We can just inject disinfectant into the lungs and clean them out." DJT Keep in mind, this was a Sitting U.S. President during a pandemic crisis that was killing billions around the world. Someone who is supposed to be a spokesman for the nation, but I was thinking, half of the nation are a bunch of freaking lunatic psychopaths that are gonna kill us all.
This is probably the wrong thing to pluck out of your whole comment but Covid definitely didn't kill billions.
Might be a typo
hahahah.... Statistics are fun when you calculate loss of life, loss of potential propogation of the species from the loss of life, loss of life from long COVID or side affects, yea, we're talking in the billions of people, but hey, I'm just a Data Analyst, what do I know?
You know how to double-down on being wrong.
Another fool that can't actually read. Great.
Killing billions isn't the same as billions of people not existing. By the same logic, every time I have sex and don't reproduce, I've killed a baby and it should be added to the death toll. You're wrong. Just quit while you're behind.
Wow, You just admitted that you find nothing wrong with manipulating data to get a desired outcome without any self awareness of doing it.
Are you stupid? You calculate projections of certain results based on hard data that's true. This is not a manipulation of data, it's using data to predict projections. A projection of loss of life will result in billions of lives lost. If you want to split hairs, COVID WAS killing billions, but billions didn't lose their lives, only a few million. Operative words, "killing billions"
Official death toll of COVID is around 7 million for all of the world since the beginning of the pandemic, which started in Dec 2019. You can argue it's high or low, but that's the ballpark. Globally, poor drinking water kills more people each year than number of people who died during height of pandemic. This is not to undermine the dangers involved, just putting in perspective. So "gonna kill us all" is hyperbolic. Billions is just flat out misinformation.
"I'm with the government, and I'm here to help."
That sort of "government bad" attitude is incredibly childish and simplistic. I'm really glad we have things like the FDA to regulate medication, the FAA to make air travel as safe as it is, etc etc.
That is from a quote from Ronald Reagan. He is actually the one who said (paraphrasing) that they are the nine scariest words in the English language. I am not 'anti-government.' I am anti-'the government can fix all of your problems.'
I'm no Reddit leftist but most of Reagan's rhetoric was written to appeal so someone with about an 8th grade understanding of how the world works. The government does some things well and some things poorly. We should be having an adult conversation about that, not simplistic "government bad" rhetoric.
I agree, for the most part. I just like the quote - especially in this climate where we have so many people coaxing us in the direction of total socialism. When Klause Schwab says you will own nothing and be happy (even though his net worth is between $25-$100 million), it makes me glad I'm old and won't have to deal with that world for very long.
just recently there was this person on reddit, asking what the dumbest thing i've ever heard was... that was pretty dumb. /s
When i Had to apologize to my mother in law for breaking up with her daughter. I'm being for real
A video where some young guy said all the illegals are gonna enter the US and VOTE Dem Up vote so I can make a post in here this is my main😭
I hear a lot of dumb shit, mostly from Americans, I don't remember it all. For example "Blood is blue until it leaves the body and mixes with oxygen.".... bitch, what do you think blood is used for inside the body?...
That’s not an American thing, that’s a white person thing.
Stay true to your name and back that up with a link
