That 0.5 second moment where I read the title before realising it is the onion 😳😳
Aren’t these 0.5 seconds the moments we live for?
There was just an NCD post about the Mormon Industrial Complex yesterday, so in this specific case, no.
Heh, that makes me think of the LDSS Nauvoo
Magic underwear and spaceships. Let’s fucking go eh.
Went through the same rainbow of emotions. Well done Onion.

And then ten years later some American court rules that their right to bear arms and “one nation under god” extends to nuclear warheads.
God: Makes everyone keep waiting for Armageddon.
American Evangelicals: I’ll do it myself.
I’ll make my own Armageddon, which blackjack, and hookers!
When they switch over from “God works in mysterious ways” to “God works through us”

Please don’t give them any ideas

How long till this becomes true?
How long to till? Well, it depends how long your field is, and whether you’re using all of it.
Wait. Did you mean “till as in plough” or “till as in a cash-drawer?” Both are accurate. It’s not the boat-steerer, as that’s a till-er.
Lmao, fuck you kindly
