Back and Forth

Holy shit this dark humor got me good
- Humor is sometimes the only remaining coping mechanism. Reminds me of a post I saw a few days ago of someone saying they won therapy when the therapist needed a pause to take in their horrific story of a life.
  
  That therapist's therapist had better brace themself.
  
  that's like 90% of therapy clients though
  sometimes you just gotta pause and consider what it's like to live like that

Lemmy surprised me with this comment section. I would not have guessed the amount of religious chestnuts is so high on here
- Every wave of redditor carves out more space for it.
  
  Endless September
- This was the top comment for me, and I thought it wasn't going to be too bad.
  Wow there are some hot takes down there.
- It's not that there's a lot, it's that the topic makes the few here open their mouth. Your the top comment right now. The post is upvoted. The community isn't them.

Dark, but funny.

This is something special

Mind explaining this?
- She keeps getting pregnant and having abortions.
  
  Or miscarrying :(
  
  Extended explanation: I suspect the "back and forth" is likely a reference to the "poop back and forth" scene in Miranda July's 2005 film Me and You and Everyone We Know.
  
  I thought it's a joke, she is not really sending anything back to God just as God is not really sending her anything

I love how this comment section goes from the top comments at over 200 upvotes to -50 downvotes in less than 10 comments (at the time of writing this). And then looking at the scrollbar not even being halfway down the page, which is a weird reaction of "man, so many idiots here, but also nice seeing them all getting downvoted into oblivion".
This is dark but funny, while it also sadly shows how many people here are brainwashed fucktards.
- Recent Redditor influx?

God must've forgotten a baby holodeck on Earth back when she made it

This was the first thing I read after waking up on an otherwise beautiful Sunday morning. Thank you for encouraging me to follow my therapist's advice to have a nice, peaceful routine before I check my phone lol.
- "otherwise beautiful" just let girls have fun you fascist.
  
  Can you remind me what fascist means? Because I'm starting to forget with how many times I read it used in a meaningless manner.

Wow how did you summon those people? Were they always here on Lemmy lol?

Cherub factory

This is hilarious. It has the look of old internet but Im pretty sure its my first time seeing it. Eitherway upvoots. upvoots all around.

With the same reasoning, it could be argued that she was toxic, or both God and she.

Don't want kids? Fine, your body, your choice. But try using condoms, at the bare minimum.
- I read this as someone trying to get pregnant and having miscarriages.
  
  That’s how I read it but I can see how it can be interpreted as having abortions.
- It sounds like you don't really believe "your body your choice" if you're telling them what to do.
  
  Your body, their choice
  
  You know why I specifically mention condoms? Because it's usually worn by men; if a guy doesn't respect himself enough to wear one, unprompted, he's not worth it.
  Safe sex and all that.
  My body, my choice actually applies to both parties in a sexual encounter.
  
  Eventually, you're making a new body (completely avoidable situation too!) that you're disposing off like the result of a greasy kebab. If you don't think this is heartless and irresponsible at the very least, then what do you think is?
- Abortions are apart of it sexually for me though. That and the ritualistic satanic blood sacrifice afterwards.
  
  Undead armies are easier to raise by going to a cemetery.
  And power can only be gained by sacrificing something you value. By your statement, you're just expending purpose made discardables. No barganing value there.
- Have you considered the statement might be facetious?
- As a supporter of choice I actually agree. Abortions are safe, but “no abortion” is safer than “an abortion”. Though I’d suggest a different form of birth control, condoms can be forgotten.
  That said, to each their own. If you want to put your body through hell, have at it.
  
  It's highly ignorant for them to assume everyone who needs an abortion (or miscarried) didn't use condoms though.
  Not to mention that the post is a joke.

- Lmfao dumbass

That's a wild way to say you are sorely lacking in impulse control and/or sexual education.
- Or she was trying to get pregnant but miscarrying, which happens a whole damn lot and it's heartbreaking.
- Yes, that is exactly the kind of person we must force parenthood onto! Thank you for trying to make society better. God bless.
  
  I don't want this person to have kids and I don't want this person to keep on flushing down potential kids either! We just have to wait this heartless lady out (if she's actually casually aborting) and then she can have a chat with God about it.
- excuse you, but by making use of abortions she's proving the exact opposite, that she does have sex ed. otherwise she'd be too terrified of god smiting her for not being "pro-life"
- Or it’s a jokey joke on the internet. Wait, never mind, I forgot every internet post is 100% serious.
- People who pump out babies they don't want are no better in regard to those skills.
- God forbid women have hobbies 🙄

But hey, she's vegan! No killing animals, but babies are fair game!
I'm pro-choice but if you do it recreationally you're a shit person in my book.
- Recreational abortions dont exist. There may be people with multiple abortions, but its not a situation women put themselves in. It's not a fun day no matter the procedure.
  Consider mental health, rape, stupidity, not everyone is you with your thought process. You may actually be above average intelligence, and if you are consider how scary that is. How many people don't have the cause and effect reasoning you do. We can't judge people with abortions if we can't judge people with credit card debt.
  
  There may be people with multiple abortions, but its not a situation women put themselves in.
  Some people just don't bother with protection. I personally know someone who is like that. It's baffling
- "Recreational abortions" is just forced birther propaganda, and it amazes me how many are gullible enough to think that people would go through such a traumatic and "shameful" experience (because of people who say ignorant shit like this) for recreational purposes.
- You're a shit person in my book, you old fuck.
  
  I've explained the motivations of my statement, care to explain yours?
- early pregnancies are tiny dots of flesh, smaller than getting a mole removed or picking your nose. There's no need to romanticise disposing of it, it's barely beyond the stage of discarding a used condom.
- If an animal is living inside your body against your choice, then a vegan would still have it removed.
- Where is it implied that she does it recreationally? She may have done it multiple times but never for fun.
  It could also be argued that she means "miscarriages" if her body is sending the souls of unborn children back to God.
  
  I think it's more likely miscarriages than abortions. I don't see why she'd be upset about accidentally getting pregnant. At some point you'd have to blame yourself if really happened that. Or you're being abused a ton and need to get out that situation.
- Congratulations, you're dumb as fuck!
  
  Unconstructive.
- Brap brap pew pew I'm a baby killer. Baby killing makes me horny
- You don't deserve downvotes for this. You recognize her choice is hers to make, and that's the important part.
  (She probably said it for comedy but someone "having recreational abortions" for real would probably be a shit person.)
  
  Have you EVER talked to ANYBODY who really went for a recreational abortion? This is a myth and repeating this myth under a post that uses a hyperbole to make a joke / bring a point across is plain stupid. That's why the person you answered to got rightfully downvoted.
  
  Humor
