We’re all bored. We’re all so tired of everything.
Highschool student who’s interested in tech, FOSS, music and art. I usually post whatever catches my interest, plus boosts. Also a Swiftie.
One thing I could think of from Filipino culture is the manananggal (rough translation: one who removes). It’s a sort of humanlike being, but with wings and a very long tongue. At night, its body from the waist up would fly away and leave its lower half behind, then it would hunt for food. It would go on top of pregnant womens’ rooftops and using its long tongue it would feed on the fetus. Once the manananggal gets back to its lower half, the fetus would be gone forever.
In order to get the fetus back, you can prevent the manananggal from returning to its lower half by putting something on the lower half, if you find it (not sure if it was salt or garlic or something else).
One interesting thing that I’m not sure is quite related, but if you have a miscarriage, people say that ‘nakunan ka’ (rough translation: you were taken from / x was taken from you). Could be left over from the idea that the manananggal takes fetuses?
I remember finding a website once where you can create your own universe by clicking, dragging, etc and at some point it dies. I found it through Bored button. Hope to find it again.
Once, I’ve had thoughts of doing that. Never actually did, but I was in a bad enough state to want to, just to make a message of how my pain isn’t something I can just ‘suck up because others have had worse’. Kind of to say that my mental health was deteriorating so much that I would be willing to.
rip to us girls who will never experience that without the risk of wetting other places 😭😭😭
IMO if you think it’s immoral, don’t do it. You’d be totally in the right to not bribe them.
If you do wish to bribe… then idk… but I feel like bribing could potentially cause some legal trouble.
First of all, not all theists, in my experience, believe in the exact same things. Me, I don’t think God would punish people for the ‘slightest deviation from acceptable behaviour’.
Second of all, don’t generalize. I’m aware that there are many self-proclaimed ‘Christians’ who oppress minorities, but not all. So please, no ad hominem :)
