I'll be honest it was funny as fuck reading through jack chick tracts an various evangelical comics, Art work? Actually solid although in some cases you'll get the typical yellow skinned squnty eye chink then and there for some reason lol, i think the more trippier art is a bonus to to be honest.
Gnostic comics when? only one i can think of was grant morrisons the invisibles, i'm still thinking of religious comics in general so i 'll probably read the budda manga by the same guy that made astro boy, i might see if i can find actual christian comics in general, maybe comics about other religions.

The specter comics by DC have a very biblical flavor to them, the specter being the angel that nuked sodom and gamorah (literally) and was tied to a human beat cop, shit gets wild to say the least. Old comics are good but anything around the 2000's are shit, besides appearances in stuff like the works of alex ross.
Joshua Hale Fiakov's the Life after series comes to mind too but honestly i kinda personally think it started off good but became shitty after volume 1, but i haven't read it in ages, so what do i know.
Brutal, strange deaths to villans are a common trope in old 1940s comics, and was kept alive in Spectre comics. (probably why they can't have him in modern comics) Also jim corrigan was anti-gay lol.

I like to eat snacks. I got a bunch of imported ones that appear to be from Korea and Japan, so now I am eating pic related. It's a lot like Corn Nuts, which are one of my favorites, so that's nice. Earlier, I ate a box of Whoppers, and I've been on the lookout for Haribo Berries lately, because I like those. I'll post more if I have anything interesting, though I probably won't always have photos. What snacks are you eating?174 replies (and 64 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)

It depends on what flavors you have, if you had grape and apple that might be an interesting combo.
I tried grape and peach monster combined. In this case the peach flavor overpowered the grape flavor.
I tried some trader joe's salt water taffy. They are a bit of a mixed bag as I only particularly liked the white ones which I was a bit unsure with the flavor, but they are kind of hard to bite into I wish they were more soft. The snail patterned strawberry one is absolutely disgusting.
>>4890
Was the Taffy a bit aged and that is why it was tougher to bite?
>>4894
I am unsure but its Trader Joe's so that would be unexpected.

"The Orphic Egg is named after Orpheus and is based on the beliefs and teachings of Orphism that the universe originated from a silver egg. It is believed that Chronos, the personification of time, created the silver egg of the universe, which hatched the primeval deity Phanes (also called as Protogonus), who in turn created the other gods."

death grips also has their own spin on this one, here's the logo for thirdworlds
this btw is only one of VERY many esoteric symbols and structures in death grips' music and imagery, and honestly there could be a whole other thread dedicated to just their stuff, you'd be surprised how deep it goes
like, who else here knows about the steroids/concert bombing/ numerology thing?
>>4877
I don't know actually, what is the thing about the steroids/concert bombing/ numerology thing?
>>4878
this video gives a seven minute tl;dr, the tl;dr of the video itself being that there's some pretty suspicious numerological connections between their mix titled Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix) and a suicide bombing that happened at an arianna grande concert. among these connections are the significant recurrence of the number 22, such as the album being 22:31 in length, the bombing happening on may 22nd, 2017, and the album being released exactly 22 minutes before the bombing occured. there's also a handful of lyrics in the mix that could be construed as referencing the bombing. there was also some stuff involving death grips' twitter activity that's pretty odd, as mundane as it sounds.

if anything, the whole affair makes me imagine just how many numerological connections could be made between any two unrelated things, how deep you could dig the rabbit hole before you just run out of stuff to link together. even in the world of mysticism, the numerology people seem to sit at their own table away from the cooler/ less ungrounded people. but even so, this one in particular just has something cryptic and sinister to it, a vibe just crooked enough that im beckoned to look closer and witness what may be confoundingly real. i may, perhaps, be retarded. even then, it's still fun to think about.

In this thread, we will discuss our habits people would find weird. These habits are stuff that people won't call you a freak for doing but will still shake their heads at the actions. Just because the thread is for weird habits doesn't mean it'll excuse breaking the site rules. don't bother discussing anything that's rulebreaking. I'll start off this thread.
> Crushing aluminum cans with tires
I sell the aluminum can for the money I can get for them. Selling empty cans are more satisfying to me than throwing the cans away. Full-sized can't be stacked for long until they become a mess. To make things less cluttered, I crush the cans. Empty cans are not exactly stable when you try to stand on them. The most efficient way I've found is to crush the cans with my tires. First, I flatten the middle section of the can with my hands, and then I place them sideways under the wheels. Whenever I go out, I get four flat cans that are easier to store. Thankfully cans are not sharp enough to puncture tires.
>Spending time with cats
I like to hold my cats to show my cats I love them. My cats like to run around and are generally active, so sometimes it is hard just to be with them. Sometimes I hold my cat and meow at them. The cats don't understand why I meow at them, but I find it funny and hope they understand my affection for them. I try to let them go when they want to go, and it hurts sometimes.
>Communicating
When I communicate with people I am not close with sometimes I don't want an immediate response. Forced communication with professors or people I don't know makes me not want to look at my devices. I shouldn't overthink a simple email but I have at times.51 replies (and 2 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)

It's called stimming and it's something usually done by the excessively autistic or exceedingly retarded. I know some people who act like this and I do my best to avoid them. It's all you can do

The issue is most of the time they are outside my room while I am working. When I tell my brothers it is bothering me they blow me off. They see it as my impeding on their fun.
If I kill an insect against a wall and its corpse stays stuck to it mostly preserved, I'll just leave it there. Maybe I'm lazy but I like seeing them preserved. This only occurred to me as weird when others pointed it out to me. Rather, there's a little thought in the back of my mind that tells me it's not normal, but I don't care enough to listen to it. (I wonder if it's the same for everyone else ITT)
I get around 2 a year. Right now I've already got a fly I killed pretty early in the year when it was still technically winter. It's always in my periphery so I think about it sometimes.

>Bake at 450° for 30 minutes and then turn the heat down to 325° and cook for 80-90 minutes
>Bake at 450° for 30 minutes
>450° for 30 minutes
I put in the thermometer after 30 minutes at 450°F and 40 minutes at 325°F and you know what it said? 160°F.
And you know what it should have said according to the recipe? 110° – 115° and then another 45 minutes with the potatoes.
Apparently you can't even trust the most reviewed recipes you find on Google.

I bought a pancake with chocolate sauce on top...I needed the change to ride the bus
I always have 3 eggs sunny side up w/ salt/pepper and a cappuccino in the morning.
>>4814
Do you make the cappuccino by hand?
>>4820
yes, my family owns a several very expensive italian coffee machines. The way I usually do it is I put in the cold milk into a frothing pitcher then apply the steaming wand from the machine until the milk gets really hot and only then I bring the wand to the very top to make the foam. If I have to be honest, I don't really like the sour taste of coffee at all which is why I usually also put in a few shots of sweet french vanilla when I feel like it.
>>4822
If you sprinkle in some salt in your coffee, it should negate the bitter and sour taste a bit.
