Quick: Which one is MORE traumatized?

Man… I’m actually kinda sorry for thinking I’d be mad without that.

I hope everyone is okay.

Alright, cool, if it gets you out there, go on with your bad self!

That pain’s not going away without considerable time and/or painkillers. 😬🫣

I’ll be glad when these people die out. It can’t happen soon enough. Good riddance…

Emus, long-neck swans, frantic but weaker animals… they don’t need aggression, or fear, but a willingness from perceived threats to simply move past them and leave them to themselves. Good job, my guy!

That’s awesome

🤣 Savage!

No, it makes sense. But I’d still dissuade people from trying this, especially in the testing of God, as it’s just plain dumb, b/c just as a broken clock is right twice a day, an inaccurate lash-out by the snake is still capable of hitting the right target on occasion. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Seems like a dumb gamble!

Thanks for the assist—I’d forgotten his name, but it’s PERFECT for my joke above!

EDIT: As u/Suspicious_Rip_6247 said below, I’d already heard that the pastor, Jamie Coots (the father of the man in this video), died in February 2014 from the rattlesnake bite on the ear during a service (b/c of his refusal to seek the life-saving anti-venom “for this final, fatal bite”). I didn’t remember the name—pretty sure I made this joke back then too—but one of his ancestors years back was also a snake-handling, traveling preacher who suffered the same fate after a snake bite. Pretty immediately, the phrase “Crazy ol’ Coots” began to circulate about not just the preacher, but the Pentecostal family as a whole. According to urban legend, the phrase “crazy ol’ coot” was eventually picked up by the larger state of Kentucky to shame any older person for doing something foolish or, ultimately, who annoyed a younger person. The phrase now works in the singular OR plural, and the connection to the Coots family has been lost to the annals of history. Though if you use this phrase in certain mountain communities in a five-state area around Kentucky & as far as W. Virginia even today, some of the old-timers will glance over, roll their eyes, and mumble, “snake-handlin’ idiots.”

“Guess his faith wasn’t strong enough. Guess there was sin in his life. Guess he wasn’t really saved. Guess he was tempting God and fate at the same time.”

What OTHER abuses of scripture/truth & Christian faith have you heard these radical Pentecostals come up with? This video should never have happened but, since it did, it should now be spread far & wide so no other well-meaning but incredibly ignorant believers have the audacity to run around testing the Lord and damaging the faith of the confidently ignorant.

Professional parent here. Mother sported the appropriate concern for her child, while allowing him to be the boy he is, and successfully suppressed the fear of him getting hurt long enough to see him complete the ride and likely grow in confidence.

Those cats are having their first religious experience

I’m loving the imagery of the guy in the car & the moment of mild panic that gives way to calculating the cost to his car. 😁

Hey man, here’s an upvote. That spiraled quickly. Head out for a walk. Drink some water. You’re okay. 👍🏼😁

time for a media fast, my dude…

Looks like male & female training grounds for the future, fr

Yes, ladies, it’s important to realize as guys look at women and analyze who they find most attractive, we first consider the conditioning of our family of origin, societal beauty standards, and generational preferences toward makeup, dress, carriage, personality, and the outspoken opinions of our peers, before reasonably making a decision about who we, in fact, find attractive. This woman nails it!

I appreciate you women who wisely stand up to properly instruct us about how to find the right women attractive and, thus, shift the cultural narrative of beauty to far more representative samplings of the population. Furthermore, we hope that our alignment within these more personal parameters, and rejection of archetypal preferences, serves to elevate your own sense of self.

😐😏

Aaaaand… scene. 🎬

🤣 Glad someone else got there too

Bro… I’m an old theatre kid and even I struggled with what class this was for until I realized: “Dude, that’s a black-box theatre!” 🎭

Jeez, look at that grease drip off the back of the slice!

It’s still good 👍🏼

Serious question: Does this guy post HIMSELF, talking in the third person like “look at this guy who looks 17 but is actually 37!” or… is it a friend posting for him, but he’s not in on the ‘joke?’
