Being autistic, I hate this one

lmfao I can only imagine the horror on her face when you burned a bible and I love it

Religion as a whole, fight me.

Such an Aries thing to say.

And Jesus died for your sins. Part of the biggest hoax in humanity

people are really committed to their stupid beliefs.

You don't need to call an ambulance to have your organs taken, I'll do it for free.

I strongly suspect marijuana was involved somewhere along the line.

It's obvious that the world isn't flat, cats would've knocked everything off over the edge.

There was a documentary on these types following the word of some lady in Queensland, Australia. She swore she hadn't needed food in years all she needed was air. They caught her wolfing down some Tim Tams, suddenly it was okay to give your taste buds some joy on rare occasions but not necessary....

I thought was done by Slartibartfast and his mates.

People like trump certainly only use 0.0001% of theirs

First I've heard of that. Though to be honest I'm more worried about those butterflies causing hurricanes.

Black cats are literally the most precious creatures on planet Earth, how dare you

I've had a pitch black cat for 10 years and he is the sweetest little thing I have ever met. He knows when I'm sad and cuddles up to me with his purry little meow. He's the only of my four cats that will stay in my bedroom all nights. No fuss, just lots of cuddles. The alarm goes off and he tries to wake me. Good boy, Indie!!!

Black Cats in medieval Europe were connected to witchcraft, and that witches could transform into black cats, so bad luck was associated with it. Walking under a ladder comes from a ladder against a wall forming a triangle, or the trinity and it was thought in medieval times that walking under it would be "breaking the trinity" and therefor bad luck.

In the UK, it’s lucky to have a black cat cross your path - the rationale being that the cat is really a witch in animal form and, as it’s crossing your path, it’s going elsewhere to cast its spells

I feel the walking under a ladder myth has an underlying cause and effect, like, "I just walked under that ladder and a tin of paint fell on me" - "oh, how unlucky"

That's Xtianity for ya... Craàaaazy old school superstitions

Black cats are sweet 🐈‍⬛

Since getting a black cat I've started a good paying job that I love, work for a fantastic family I love, have gotten a ton of free really cute clothing I love, and my marriage is stronger than ever. Sooo.....when's the "BAD" luck supposed to kick in?

As far as I know, black cats were considered bad luck because there were none in Europe but were common in Turkey and other places where pirates came from. They brought them in their ships to fight mice and seeing a black cat in an european village meant the pirates had landed nearby

A black cat crosses my path every few minutes. She likes to run... I'm almost always happy to see her, ... how's that gonna impact my life?

Don't forget walking under a ladder

It IS extremely dumb

The mirror one goes back to when servants broke a mirror it took 7 years pay to replace the mirror. And if they didn't like where they worked they were stuck there between that and loss of wages. You can see why it's 7 years bad luck

Oh, my cats have absolutely cast a spell on me. It causes me to be unable to resist petting them, scratching them, and letting them sit on my lap. I can't control it.

Cats and witches have a story. Old ladies who lived alone in medieval times had cats. They did not get sick with the plague. So...witches and cats were instruments of witches. But the truth was simple, although unknown to them. Fleas carried the bubonic plague, and those fleas came with rats. Rays did not enter houses with cats, ergo...

Well the case with the ladder is, when someone is on the ladder and you carry big stuff and are not carefully walking under. You may knock the ladder and te other person drops down....

When I was getting my most recent cat, the recue people had a choice of a black cat, a ginger cat and tabby. I wanted the tabby but it didn't want me. I turned down the balck cat because I'm unsteady on my feet as it, a black cat would blend in too well as night and I was afraid I'd step on it. Yep, I now have a very nice but weird ginger cat.

why are ppl racist towards cats? /j

This is true. When my wife and I first moved in together we got a black cat. I have been with her for 30 years. When will this curse stop?

I had the sweetest black cat for all my youth, until I was 16. He died of a heartattack. I still miss the good boy..

No no no it‘s only if it crosses your way from left to right! Trust me, I was born in Poland! (My family is so weird. They simultaneously totally believe in God AND tons of superstitions! …… actually… no it makes total sense that those two go together so well

I recall when I was a kid the superstition was that if one crossed your path left to right it was good luck, right to left it was bad. Or was it the other way round? Anyway, I'm sure nobody took any notice of it. The ladder one is the only one that makes some sense, i.e. there might be someone up the ladder to drop something on you. Oh, and mirrors were incredibly expensive items, so if you broke one belonging to someone else there was a pretty fair chance that trouble was about to come your way...

I've got a book called the dictionary of superstitions that has a bunch of stuff like this, funny to read!

Something could fall on your head while under that Ladder

Walking under a ladder can be dangerous, who knows what might drop onto your head.

i don´t recommend breaking a mirror for obvious reasons. the cat is just bad luck if it adopts you against your will. but who could say no to a voidling?

fortunately these seem to be old european/western supersitions. Other countries have other superstitions. For example in South Africa some people put their bed higher up on bricks. Google it.

The issue is the cat is a selfish beast who will sleep on top of the baby, because a cat is programmed to find something squishy and warm to sleep on. It's not a frequent issue but you need to make sure they can't. The much bigger risk is their litter tray. It contains poops with toxoplasmodium gondii in it. You want to clean that often with gloves and wash hands after.

As an anthropomorphic reptile I can confirm that the president is a lizard. And Mark Zuckerberg.

This person has no idea how DNA testing is actually accomplished, do they?

You type the last four first, then the second to last and so on. Do we need to explain everything to you?
