My church as a kid passed around trays with little plastic shot glasses. Grape juice was in the middle and wine was around the outside.

Failed Imagineer posted:Y'all should try living in a city built by successive groups of Vikings and Normans over a millennium. Not a single straight or wide road, nothing is numbered, streets turns into other streets or circle back on themselves. Conversely, Kyoto's layout is neatly gridded and numbered, much like my home region of metro Detroit. I'm not great with directions anyway, so three cheers for logically numbered streets.

I've never been able to do cardinal directions, even with a compass HUD in my car. For a long time I'd play along with people out of embarrassment but it it hasn't clicked yet it's not gonna. Now I just say I don't do directions and GPS everything. Still don't know why some people love to give live turn-by-turn directions.

Transubstantiation is such a wild concept to me. Like if you're a true practicing Catholic you 100% have to believe that bread and wine literally become the body and blood of Christ when receiving communion. No metaphors or anything, that is actual Catholic doctrine, no way around it! Very metal.

I grew up protestant but catholic-adjacent (grandparents and relatives), and I didn't find out until college age that it wasn't a metaphore. I even made a report in a western civ class how that practice was viewed controversially, while under the assumption that they actually believed it was just representative.

I mean I also grew up catholic, and was a know-it-all edgy Carl Sagan reading poindexter who liked to antagonise priests, and I got multiple different priests to kinda-sorta say it was a metaphor, so it's whatever. Nobody actually believes that poo poo, but then again I don't think 99% of religious folk believe much of it, they just like having licence to treat people a certain way and appeal to a higher authority

There's a Catholic priest who does videos on YouTube, and it was kind of funny watching him squirm around when someone asked him if gay people went to hell. He kept saying "god judges your actions, not your thoughts." Basically being gay is ok if you never have gay sex lol

You're just eating the part of Christ that is made of crackers and wine. Modern chemistry put the spotlight on the practice and still gives that out because we are all basically made out of crackers and wine, if you squint. I think they just want to be difficult though because I think when presented with this chemical out they still double down and say nope it's muscle and blood.

No metaphors or anything, that is actual Catholic doctrine, no way around it! Very metal. It's been a really long time since I learned this and I hope I'm remembering it mostly correctly but I think it has something to do with platonic essences. Like, what makes something a chair (instead of something else entirely or something similar like a stool) isn't things like the number of legs it has or whether it has back or not, etc. Those things are all "accidental" properties. What makes a chair a char is that it contains some metaphysical essence of chairness. So with transubstantiation the physical, "accidental" qualities remain the same but the metaphysical essence of "breadness" and "wineness" has been somehow swapped out with "Christ's Bodyness" and "Christs' Bloodness" How? I don't know. It's God, shut up.

how did I never notice this

When i first moved to Seattle, someone told me that the reason the streets were so weird is because they were designed by two people who hated each other. And I was like "haha, funny". Much later I learned that no, that was actually pretty much the case. Except there were three guys and three layouts: due north, 32 degrees west of north, and 49 degrees west of north https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_layout_of_Seattle They went with "all of the above" so the grids just kind of mash into each other

Just lol if you don't automatically reverse weird names in your head because damned if you're going to be fooled by the old Alucard trick You've got to wake up pretty early in the morning to put one over on me, Mr Utarefson, and in fact I'll bet you don't wake up in the morning at all

Just reading a very old novel and god drat I get it now. “The penny drops” is a shortened version of “the light will come on when the penny drops” - you would put a penny in the meter and the gas lighting would come on.
