my very evangelical mom once stopped someone to proselytize to them and she said something like "do you know about jesus christ? he love you so much he died for your sins" and the guy answered "oh i know about him but i follow the other side" (clearly implying he was a satanist) and according to my mom this answer frightened her so much she felt physically ill when she came home and told me what happened she was still pretty shaken up, it was the most scared i have ever seen her but looking back whoever the guy was he was really funny

The satanic panic was a god awful time for America and it’s coming back with a vengeance but man, I do love that there was a time where all you had to do was wear eyeliner for people to be like “this dude can literally cast demon fireball in real life”

god i love reading about stupid drama in ancient greece. like there was an athlete named theagenes who was so good at every kind of athletic contest that when he died, one of his opponents would go to beat the shit out of a statue of him out of spite, but then one day the statue fell on the guy and killed him so the greeks took the statue to court for murder, convicted it, and threw it into the sea

actually i left out the best part of this story which is that a plague then struck and when people consulted the oracle at delphi she was like “well you’ve pissed of theagenes” so they had to go dig the statue back up out of the fucking water
