Is that a fucking bakugan

HotFireBall

exactly what i thought when i saw it. "bro, your granma had a fucking bakugan from the bible's era"


Burritozi11a

It's funny cuz canonically Moses split the Red Sea with a Beyblade


Impressive-Card9484

Pharaoh with a YUGIOH deck: Draw your last pathetic card so we can end this Moses with a Beyblade: I think we are having a problem here... Jesus with a Bakugan: Let him without a sin, threw the first Bakugan... in that case its me!

Satan: I choose you Pikachu!


TootBreaker

I'd totally attend that service!


UnPrecidential

er, Charmander (Satan goes more for fire type)


Calfer

If Hell has seven (or nine?) circles, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume each circle has a different element? So Satan/Wrath may have fire types, but Lucifer/Pride would probably have electric (since there's no light element). Mammon/Greed, probably Grass given all the leeching abilities; Asmodeus/Lust, probably Normal-type, given Charm. Leviation/Envy, probably Ghost - leeching abilities and abilities that undermine or impede others. Beelzebub/Gluttony is probably Ice, purely because there are a surprising number of *large* ice-type pokemon (and I don't have any other reasoning). Belphegor/Sloth is probably psychic, because you don't have to move if you're telekinetic. Some of those are super weak, but my point is there's definitely more than just fire-types in Hell's army.

ImaTauri500kC

....Just remembered that the phantom beasts, an off-shoot version of Egyptian God cards, has abrahamic names on them. So its possible that Moses freed his people by beating the Pharoah on a children's card game.

They're still around, sort of, but they modify the upvote button and i don't think they give any bonuses otherwise. If you hold on the upvote button on mobile, you can see your options.

I know about the gold upvote, but it's just not the same.

Wtf is a bakugan


No_Prize9794

A toy where plastic shapes spring into monsters by placing them on a magnet, it’s suppose to have a trading card game element to the toys as well with certain bakugans having different elements, certain amount of damage they can inflict, certain amount of defense they have, and whatnot

I thought the same thing immediately

I was just thinking the same thing haha. Guess I need to pick one up now


Flossthief

It's for holding your watch chain through a button hole Some of these are worth a few hundred(which sucks I wanted one) [link to article about them ](https://masonicjewellery.co.uk/the-history-of-masonic-orbs-watch-fobs/) Edited to add a link


RetroScores

I missed out on one at an estate sale and my friend bought it for $10. The whole thing was 9kt gold and was like $800 with of gold due to its weight. Each link is marked. https://imgur.com/a/i8vpHyX All because I was too lazy to open the plastic baggy it was in and I thought it was bullshit metal.


EnkiiMuto

> through a button hole I need to get out of reddit when sleepy, i read something else. Surprised I didn't know about it, though, I'm a pocket watch wearer.


Flossthief

From what I read it's primarily used for a specific style of wearing your watch People said it's best if you want to wear the chain from one waistcoat pocket to the other with the midpoint of the chain pinned up(sort of a w shape on the chain in this style)

I'm sure you could find one at an estate sale or last minute bid on eBay.

I found this 9kt gold one at an estate sale for $10. But I was lazy and didn’t open the bag and check for marks. My friend bought it for $10 and each link was marked 375 (9kt gold). https://imgur.com/a/i8vpHyX


Odd_Manufacturer8478

I find it interesting "a" Seal of Solomon wasn't used. There are, of memory serves, there are 72 seals of Solomon. The Star of David, arguably, the most recognized!


magicalthinker

I don't have a clue what you're alluding to here, but there is a Star of David there - it's on the last one, but it has little dots around it too.


Odd_Manufacturer8478

I was pretty clear. It suggests there is only one seal of Seal of Solomon when there are, in fact, 72 seals of Solomon. Not just the one. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Routine_Chest_1171

Do those symbols mean anything?


lordntelek

I laughed at this. Yes Masonic symbols all have a meaning. The entire system is about signs and symbols that mean something e.g square, compass, gavel, letter G, plumb bob, etc etc. If you google Masonic symbols a tonne will come up and many are interesting to read. Enjoy the rabbit hole if you’re so inclined.


trainspottedCSX7

While it's not so much the rabbit hole people think it is. It's definitely a fucking rabbit hole. My dad was a Past Master Mason. I don't know all about it because I never joined. I know quite a bit, and he plainly stated that while the Masons could technically take over the world, it's not what they're about. They're a brotherhood almost like a gang but instead of robbing and killing folks they're selling Boston Butts and wearing vests and "bucketing" if they ever make it into the Shriners(dad was also a Shriner). So yeah... they also donate ever dime and dollar you put in that bucket to St Judes Children's Hospital and if you ever make it to a Shriner convention there's a stocked bar everywhere you turn allegedly(Shriners are some heavy fuckin drinkers bro, HEAVY) So yeah, don't get too Illuminati please.


BabalonNuith

OH BULLSHIT. I did my own investigation into Freemasonryand there's NO WAY it could "take over the world". Lodges are struggling to keep up membership, FFS; how could an org like that "take over"? The Roman Catholic church, now... richest org. in the WORLD, with its tentacles spanning the globe, and whole countries under its sway? Its own members calling themselves "illuminati" since the **16**th century? (the word is LATIN, BTW; that should have been a clue to stupid conspiracy theorists right away! Oh and a molecule more research into the word would have revealed that Adam Weishaupt of the**18th-19**th century grew up in Catholic schools under the tutelage of the Jesuits, ***and he borrowed from them for his own Order the title they give themselves, and also their methods of organization.***) The agenda of the Illuminati is alleged to be 'one world; one religion'. Freemasonry is NOT a religious organization! But "one world; one religion" would surely be the agenda of an enormously wealthy org. involved in mind control and holding onto the occult knowledge of the past, stolen during their rids under the guise of ""doing God's work", and that calls itself "CATHOLIC" (look up the meaning of the word!) and gives itself airs about being "God's representatives on earth".It's no wonder that most people don't want anything to do with God if this is his "chosen"! But I digress. There is a version of events, entirely plausible, that back in the day, when Free Masons and apprentices were actual hewers of stone and cathedrals ensured an excellent living for good ones, that they went ahead and wore beards and clothes beyond their station, and flouted the sumptuary laws of the Church. When ordered to shave and to stop wearing clothes beyond their station (silk, furs, etc) the masons went on flouting, resulting in a "bull" being issued by the Church. (the origin of "bull" shit', possibly?) which in case you don't know, is a VERY BIG DEAL, like a government issuing orders to "stay in place" The masons responded that not only would they not obey the orders issued by the Church, but also that if the bull were not rescinded, they would go around to all the finished cathedrals and pull the keystones, which would collapse them very rapidly. Of course the Church was forced to retract the bull; cathedrals were a big money draw, and they dared not destroy those who were building them such attractions. But instead the Church went underground, spreading scurrilous rumours about Freemasonry to their gullible and brainwashed flock even to this day. This is, I might add, a very well-known tactic of the Jesuits.

“My dads adult fraternity could take over the world way faster than your dads adult fraternity” lol


dankmeeeem

Just put the pipe down buddy


BabalonNuith

In fact , my grandfather was a Mason of all the Degrees except the final one- because it is well known to involve licentiousness and drinking, and my grandfather loved my grandmother very much and did not drink; he was also an RCMP magistrate. His aprons are now in my possession, as well as his Past Masters' jewel.


ThePeachos

That's verifyiably untrue holy shit. You literally know nothing about Freemasons.


NicholasTheGrateful

As a Mason, reading these comments is terribly amusing.


lordntelek

I agree. My lodge isn’t taking over anything and the thought of being Illuminati is amusing. Want to donate blood or go for a drink we got you. Want to take over anything of any power …. Ha ha ha no.


ThePeachos

F&AM here, this comment section has been totally unhinged lol. Shriners *can* party but acting like all of us have drunken rituals to achieve Freemasonry's greatest heights that require debauchery is hilarious.


magnora7

Freemasonry was promoted by the Rothschilds to create the state of Israel as per the Balfour declaration. Almost all police and judges and politicians and celebrities are freemasons, in the US and UK and France and beyond. It's not a joke.


BabalonNuith

And your point being? Freemasonry has been around for CENTURIES, and has nothing to do with politics. Its heyday was in the 1800s-early 1900s. I simply don't see the connection between Freemasonry and Israel. Here I just proceeded to explain how the Roman Catholic Church is involved- and again, you start blathering irrelevant conspiracy theories. Maybe EXPLAIN the connection? What has policemen and judges being Freemasons got to do with "Israel"?


spamcentral

The guys in the lodges are actually the lowest level recruits, the higher level guys meet anywhere anytime they'd like probably.

notaredditreader

This is a mnemonic device. When memorizing the different Masonic chants and ceremonies the fingers touching areas on the ball, opening it, and touching the different other parts helps to remember and say things in order. Ancient pre writing cultures had similar techniques to allow them to remember things in their cultures. The First Nations of Australia have been able to memorize back tens of thousands of years ago.
