Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch. Pretty hardcore atheist and even I know that one.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago (2 children)

My wallet and watch are on the same side help

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Contra code. Up, down, left, right.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But I wear my watch on my left arm, I don't understand.

Just try to not walk in circles.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Help the circles keep getting smaller

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thanks Austin.

But seriously, if you're just aware of it, you should know the gist of it. I was expecting the video to be her doing the wrong side first, no biggie. But she really found a new creative way to screw it up. I'm surprised she didn't accidentally do the Macarena.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

No, for the Macarena she ends up with one of her legs behind her head while flapping her arms like an ostrich.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah, but she can only find testicles when in the audience of a musical with a bunch of children in attendance.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Come on guys, just because she tells everyone else what to believe doesn't mean she actually goes to church. I mean, she's heard of it.

[–] kbin_space_program@kbin.run 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

She might well go to church.

But given what she gets up to in public theaters, I think her attention might not be on the priest.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

You can find her in the pulpit.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Say a prayer Boebert, literally any prayer.

You don't actually know any, do you?

How about just your favorite quote from Jesus then?

No? Don't know anything he said either?

Yeah...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

"I like the one where he tells Mr. Gorbachev to tear down that wall!"

Not that I'm on her side, but if she's not catholic she's not going to know it. I grew up Baptist and never once did it.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 53 points 6 months ago

I think a more pertinent question is, why is any Congressmember making overt religious motions at an official hearing?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 45 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

If she's pandering to Catholics, yeah; she should know how to do it properly. It's an easy hand-movement, like jacking someone off at a public performance with children around...

[–] CatOnTheChainWax 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I grew up protestant-ish, we stopped going to church in the early 2000s. I've been to a few Catholic masses since then, it's like going to an exercise class. Sit down, stand up, kneel, stand up, sit down.... I was watching everyone around me to know what to do haha at least you get a little snack and wine. I learned the sign of the cross from Video games though, up, down, left, right, a,b,a,b, Amen.

[–] necrobius@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's better than the konami code

[–] Brokkr@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Nah, the Konami code gives you benefits.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Up up, down down, left right left right B A START

At least I'm pretty sure that's it from memory

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

Do non-Catholics not know the general shape of a cross? A lowercase T?

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I've never been Catholic and I stopped going to our Lutheran Church when I was nine, but I can still do the sign of the cross naturally without even thinking about it. And no, we did not do the sign of the cross in my Lutheran church. It's just such a common thing you see in American society.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s just such a common thing you see in American society.

I can't say I have the same experience as you. I almost never see it. And I live in a town with a bunch of Catholic churches, a Catholic university with attached congregation of nuns and a monastery.

I honestly can't tell you if I've ever seen someone do it around here.

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 1 points 6 months ago

I mostly see it in movies and TV, but I see it in person as well. I saw it in person a lot more when I lived in other places in the US than where I do now, however.

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I grew up Lutheran and it was a common thing, but how dumb do you have to be to not know how to draw a cross on your body?

[–] KAYDUBELL@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Also raised baptist and although we never did it, I knew the sign when I was like 10-12

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This certainly supports Jamie Raskin's claim that they all got drunk after coming back from the Trump trial...

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How and when one makes the sign of the cross is not universal across denominations. That said, bobo's a clown.

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago

Can you point to me which denomination makes a triangle when they do it?
