that is one seriously durable sticker

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (3 children)

This could be a 30 year old photo

[–] pigup 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That Ford in the background is ~2004 model, so that sets an earlier bound on the time of photo

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

I doubt the red red ink on that sticker would be that bright and colorful, not faded by the sun, after 13 years outside.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This exact sticker at a different location still exists in my town. I'll take a photo of it and follow-up some time.

[–] theangryseal 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You know, if I were in the business of making predictions about when Jesus is coming back, I’d want the cheapest stickers I could find. That way, when I’m wrong, at least there won’t be physical evidence hanging around for 30 years.

Hell, paper and tape would have been the right call.

[–] whereisk 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How about if you ~~thought of the money scheme~~ predicted it 8 years earlier and wanted the ~~grift~~ stickers to last that long?

He came and went and took all the good people with him.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

All 8 of them?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I mean, sometimes it feels we're on the shit timeline.

I saw the “I won’t feed a demon, ruby franke” post, holy shit is it the shittiest timeline

The reason sticker these day doesn't last and enshitification of everything happened is because Jesus came and took all the good people and left.

[–] Etterra 6 points 7 months ago

Joke's on him, this people were never good either.

Killed in a school shooting, probably. Meanwhile, A certain party is fielding the Antichrist for a second term

[–] theangryseal 5 points 7 months ago

I’ve been playing something up lately. See, I didn’t know of that interview where Donald Trump said he has never asked god for forgiveness. I somehow only seen it recently.

So, I told some folks that a man came and asked me, “Would you trust a man who said he never once asked god for forgiveness, that he doesn’t think in those terms?” and he wanted me to think on it, and he’d return and tell me why he asked me. I told them it was an odd question, and when he returned to tell me why he asked I’d share it with them.

They all answered with something along the lines of, “no! Who could live on this world and never ask for forgiveness? Can’t be a good person.”

Do you think they took off their Trump hats?

[–] Anticorp 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Have you ever sat down and talked to a Trumper about politics? I don't mean dismissing everything they say and calling them stupid, I mean actually listened and asked them questions? I just did that a couple days ago and it was a real wakeup call for me. Holy fucking shit was that person crazy! It's not like a couple of differences of opinion. It's a thousand different topics that they're completely detached from reality on. Literally every single thing this person said was bat shit crazy, far-right propaganda, engineered to make them impossible to reason with. I ended up just wishing them a nice day and moving on with my life, deciding never to speak to them again. I do not see how we can ever get these people back to normalcy. It's insane, man... and sad.

Oh that's known as "Christmas on my dad's side"

Oh yes. One person started by calling Biden a puppet, which - in a sense of being beholden to corps etc I could kinda see - but then they went off about him being an actual (animatronic, robotic) puppet controlled by Bill Gates and i kinda exited that convo as fast as I could...

Wrong date, right sticker provider.

Just gotta wait 7,976 years for the odometer to roll over. Then another 1,992 for the rapture.

[–] jordanlund 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I like to tell them "The rapture already happened in 1988. The only person worthy was an elderly grandmother living in New Jersey, nobody else noticed."

[–] Jimmyeatsausage 4 points 7 months ago

If JC came back in 92, they've already been shot dead or deported

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Jesus shows up and the Rodney King Riots happen the next day?

Get your shit together, Jesus.

God’s will. /s

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's almost as if they don't read their own Jesus' words. Matthew claims he said no man knows the hour or day. I'm not getting into what Isaac Newton thought about it

[–] Anticorp 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm not getting into what Isaac Newton thought about it

Please do! I know a lot about the Bible and Christianity, but I've never heard of any Newton association.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

It's wild, but he tried to calculate the tune of the second coming. There's quite a bit available on YT about it.

[–] CptEnder 7 points 7 months ago

Damn that's a really high quality sticker

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I was a young kid at that time. Not even in kindergarten yet. I basically lived the life of a house cat. Did any of our lives get better after that?😂

[–] Etterra 6 points 7 months ago

Silly prophets of doom, how could they get the date so wrong? Everybody knows the world won't end until February 31st.

[–] niktemadur 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You see... the old talking point for the rapture was how the bible says that the last generation will be when the fig tree ripens, or some symbolic shit like that.

Evangelicals latched on to "the fig tree ripens" to mean Israel becoming a nation, and that was in the late nineteen forties, so give or take a few years, fudge the numbers a little bit, and this decal falls right within that range, most said a Jewish generation means 47 years... no, strike that, it's 48... no, wait, I meant 49, it was supposed to be 50, so 51 it is... they kept pushing the bar, and here we still are, and so are they.

I lost track and don't care what these people blather on about currently, but I suppose the rapture pushers keep on clinging to any fucking sign, no matter how weak and random, and assigning an intricate, deliberate pattern out of it, full of false starts, dead ends and crazy loops, with a strong whiff of q-anon 'n' shit.

[–] Harbinger01173430 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

The rapture or something similar will start during February 3rd, 2525.

Edit: nobody got the reference so far

If woman can survive

[–] Anticorp 3 points 7 months ago

That's too far off, nobody cares. You're going to need to predict closer apocalypses if you want to make it in this business.

[–] jordanlund 2 points 7 months ago

Psssh... We have to get through 2112 first...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

Perhaps he really is here. If so, he'd be 32 years old by now. Twas around that age he got axed the last time, allegedly. Thor knows I could go for a good crucifixion right now!

[–] Anticorp 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The Bible says that the second coming will be announced with loud trumpets, and the skies will roll back, and he will descend from heaven. It says that it'll be unmistakable that he's returned and every person on earth will know about it. He's not coming back as a baby.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Can we go with something less romantic, I want to see the weirdos get creative this time around. I propose death by horsecock, give'em the mister hands treatment.

He took one look at the world and left, obviously.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He came back, saw we were still a worthless lost cause. Decided he'd have some fun for himself since he'd already made the trip. "Jesus lived his life in a cheap hotel On the edge of Route 66 yeah. He lived a dark and twisted life and he Came right back just to do it again." White Zombie, Super-Charger Heaven

He came and left, this is the hell let behind.

Hookers and blow will sideline anyone if you can afford it.
