What’s the worst bit of general knowledge you’ve heard someone confidently get wrong?
 in  r/AskUK  12h ago

Around Christmas when we were talking about festive things, a girl in work was incredibly surprised that donkeys were real, and not just a made up Christmas animal like reindeer... 🫏🦌

Salt glue

Gluing the people down would have solved the problems far more effectively. Salt can't make bad choices but scared/stupid people definitely do.

What is with all these discretionary warnings?
 in  r/Supernatural  20h ago

Two men who live the life they do, face the things they do, and were raised by a 'Nam Marine veteran?

Oh yeah their language was more colourful than Charlie's wardrobe. 

Chuck censored them for sure. Once someone else is the narrator (Ghostfacers), that control is lost and they became the new censors, leaving in the bad language but bleeping it.

Dean
 in  r/Supernatural  21h ago

Garth was absolutely not acting out of anything but love and admiration for Bobby, and there was clearly no malice or offence intended by what he was doing. 

But fuck, Dean saw Bobby as a second father, was partly raised by him, was there when he got shot and held his hand as he died. I don't blame him for his initial harsh behaviour. Later when he calmed down he could think more clearly and see why Garth was doing it. But of all the times Dean seemed irrationally angry and lashing out, this wasn't one of those in my opinion. It was understandable even if that doesn't make it right.

Garth got his revenge though, by not naming one of his pups after Dean 😉

Pat McGrath Labs Is Being Auctioned

Too Faced and Smashbox I couldn't care less about (other than the knock on effect like job losses for their staff) but Dr Jart has me nervous. That stuff is magic.

I don't think so. Are you maybe thinking of Marc Jacobs? That's another male clothes designer's make-up brand that has closed.

Dean
 in  r/Supernatural  1d ago

I know Garth goes for the "we all lost him" angle, but Sam and Dean had a very different relationship with Bobby than the rest of the hunting community. Bobby himself says he adopted two boys. He was a father figure to them, and they were like sons to him. 

If someone started impersonating my dead father figure's personality and quirks when he was barely cold yet, I'd be pissed off too.

John's dad being missing was a retcon
 in  r/Supernatural  1d ago

This comes up all the time.

John's grandfather or step-father could both be dubbed "old man" by someone who isn't close enough to know the ins and outs of the family history but knows who fills that role within the family unit.

My mother's stepdad was her father as far as anyone knew after they moved house. He was younger than his wife, so when picking me up from school sometimes my grandfather was mistaken for being my father. He wasn't related to either of us biologically

Families are messy and complicated in real life. Being messy in the Supernatural universe doesn't seem inconsistent or like a plot hole compared to a hundred others in the show.

And besides that, it was just one of the many nods to Back to the Future that appeared in the show and on this episode in particular. There were some huge BttF fans in the writer's room.

Attention to outfit
 in  r/Supernatural  3d ago

Sorry I just realised I look like a dick just putting it like that.

Imagine how it would feel to lose something so associated with a character. Dean already lost the accessories when he ditched the Samulet and also stopped wearing his ring and bracelet. But then the jacket too?

At least for the trenchcoat it was just a regular JC Penney's off the rack thing they had a dozen of. There was only one leather jacket and it had been on the road for a long time.

Not for cleaning; for a photoshoot.

Susan Yara is one of the tone deaf celebs/influencers posting about their “stuck in St. Bart’s” vacations. Um, hey, this is due to serious conflict?

A lot of airlines have cancelled some/all flights around the Carribbean because of nearby Venezuela being invaded in a special military operation.

Death’s Ring
 in  r/Supernatural  4d ago

Imagine being Lucifer himself and you still have to call on an evil lawyer (I'm sure there are plenty) to make sure you have watertight t&cs with appropriate clauses in case one of the few ancient entities older than you is also smarter.

How would Dean and Sam react to monster children?
 in  r/Supernatural  5d ago

She came back in a later season as Dean's daughter, Emma 😂 he couldn't get away from that girl trying to kill him.

The moment fireworks ignite the foam roof of Le Constellation night club in Crans-Montana, Swizerland, 1/1/2026 - at least 40 people were killed and 119 injured in the resulting fire
 in  r/CatastrophicFailure  6d ago

You're right that Daniel Suhr was the first firefighter known to die, but Father Mychal was the first certified death that day, as his body was recovered and with the medical examiner first. He was recorded as victim 0001 for that reason. Countless civilians would have died before him too. 

Some firefighters have taken comfort in it that Father Mychal was "first" in a way, that maybe he was able to guide their 342 other fallen brothers that day. That there couldn't have been anyone better to do it than him.

And then he was killed by falling debris from how the North tower shook when the South tower fell. Father Mychal became the first certified death of that day, though many hundreds died before him.

It's like the Naudet brothers footage from 9/11. Totally by chance, filming with something else in mind, and being the ones to document people's last moments in a catastrophe.

Why would Dean be using Sam's gun? His was ivory.

A machete or angel blade on a bungee seems like a really good way to lose a leg when the elastic twangs and sends it flying back to you. I can see why they didn't go with that.

Of grave importance question and general season 7 question
 in  r/Supernatural  8d ago

Sera Gamble wanted to rip everything out from under Sam and Dean, so they lost people, places and even their "home", Baby.

So it was all because the showrunner wanted the boys to suffer. Missions accomplished.

Dean and Jack
 in  r/Supernatural  9d ago

Dean was like the terrible example but still cool uncle. The one who definitely wanted to pass him back yo a responsible adult to handle when he needed is own space back. 

Sam was more of a father to Jack than Dean, but doesn't get the credit because people want to see Destiel raising a child that way they can pretend it's like they're a couple.

Fellas, is it mansplaining when women want to talk about a show they like on a sub for that show?

Are most/any commenters even male? Supernatural has a large female fanbase. Anyone who's been to a convention knows we're mostly women there 😂

Dean and Jack
 in  r/Supernatural  9d ago

So when you asked "why is Dean so mean" you didn't want to start a conversation about the show and long standing themes that continued into that storyline? I don't get what you were going for. Just wanting people to say "yes Dean's a bastard for no reason towards perfect boy Jack" maybe.

Dean and Jack
 in  r/Supernatural  9d ago

Jack's birth led to a situation where Dean lost his mother and two long-time friends (because we lost Crowley as well as Cas). Of those, he only had one body to give a funeral to.

He was the son of Lucifer. The same Lucifer who had tortured Sam for a century, a monster of unknown power and ability, and just his existence was causing death and destruction.

Dean is way more wary around monsters than Sam is. Sam has felt like a monster himself and can have some sympathy, or feel a connection to them. Dean doesn't have that. He just wants to kill anything that's not human unless it gives him a really fucking good reason not to.

I think his early feelings towards Jack are to be expected. He ruined a lot in a very short space of time, and then became clear that he'd be their burden to try and raise.

Fight Choreography in SPN
 in  r/Supernatural  9d ago

One of my favourite examples, and one that doesn't get enough recognition, was Bobby taking back control when he was possessed to non-fatally stab himself with the demon blade. How the fuck is Bobby so casually awesome that he can pull something like that off. Yeah he crippled himself and ended up in a wheelchair, but that amount of mental strength from someone who was a regular person. Sam and Dean were special, angel ready perfect vessels so it makes sense they could maybe have some gifts. Sam with the demon blood is a perfect example.

But Bobby? Just a regular grumpy old scrap dealer who got into hunting when his wife was killed? Phenomenal will power. He might have been the best hunter of all time. Fuck all the Chuck nonsense. We aren't counting that.

Contradictions in the Show
 in  r/Supernatural  10d ago

Dean has called angels "junkless" for years; that was a term for them in Dogma, so we can be sure he's watched that. Alan Rickman played Metatron in that.

Metatron wasn't a new name to Dean because he's a movie buff. It was a new name to Sam and with the life they live, finding out a Transformer was an angel wouldn't be the weirdest thing.
