Why does it need to be gendered. I know many non-men who would love to join.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The scientists probably chose one gender as a form of scientific control of the study. I'm sure anyone is welcome to quest for the grail. God wills it!

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good point. You can't take too many options in for an initial study. Although, who are the negative controls?

The handle @trad_west and templarpilled on the left side suggests whoever made the original image likely disagrees.

Because men's sole purpose in this world is locating the holy grail

I want the holy hand grenade then.

Wow dick move by god on the guys who were born during the first 4 billion years.

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sorry, its not OC but I could have noticed. You are 100% right.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago

No worries. I was being dumb. Didn't want to detract from the quest.

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

I don't think I'll be very keen, I've already got one you see.

Sense of purpose is probably the single most contributor to positive mental health in a career. Or, simply, positive mental health.

I was never happier than when I had a job where I felt like I was helping people and solving interesting problems. Unfortunately I've never found anything like that that pays well enough to reach my financial goals and in general it seems those kinds of jobs are constantly being enshittified. Currently my job mostly involves coordinating work other teams are doing with users, waiting for shit to be done days/weeks or questions answered, and then dealing with the aftermath of their mistakes. It fucking sucks. I just want to be on the ground again where the only person's work I'm responsible for is me.

If we are getting tattoos, im choosing archer class

[–] federalreverse@feddit.org 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You just want the on/off symbol as a tattoo.

I would leave my desk job to go on any quest that could conceivably be the plot of an Indiana Jones story

I’d be happy to be the coconut guy.

🏹 Message for you, sir!

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I am constantly on the lookout for my Luna or some shit. I be eyeing stray cats like, "... Is it time? 👀"

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 13 points 2 days ago

If you fund my travels, I'll claim to search for whatever you like!

Actually it was a holy quail

I will do my part in search of Holy Grill

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The Holy Grail was an excuse for Europeans to ransack the ME over and over again...

If they had a realistic goal, they might achieve it and have to make a new excuse.

I'd like to think most people today would be educated enough to get that, but it doesn't look like it

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 hours ago

Also, tons of rapes.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You aren't invited on the quest.

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wait, so are we or are we not sacking the ME this time?

We can change it up and do the Northern Crusades again.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

asking as if the sacking stopped at any time.

Why would most people today care to know a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia?

...

Bruh, the crusades was an extremely important event that occupied centuries of both European and Middle Eastern civilization's history and we're literally still dealing with the fallout on a global geopolitical scale...

I remember when my decades old red state public education was considered shitty, but do people really think the fucking crusades was "a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia"?

You can argue the same for pretty much any major time period of history. Wars have been fought over the most trivial of causes. Women, minor insults, etc etc. You think this in particular is important because it's relevant to your cultural upbringing. Why would I as an Asian care about it as more than another historical piece of trivia?

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 day ago

Not all people equate the holy grail with the crusades.

I just think they want to belittle the idea of a holy grail. As a non-believer an old trinket like that wouldn't have much value.
