35 Times People Stumbled Upon Something Old But Had No Clue What They Were Looking At, And The Internet Had Their Back

I have several pairs that look like this as well, I just thought they were meant to look like a bird haha

same. i wondered why the bird motif and now i know. i love them.

The sharp versions are excellent for de-tagging clothing

ROFLMAO Not a clamp, more like tweezers.

Your scissors aren't umbilical clamps. Look at the "beak". That's a clamp. Scissors are scissors.

Down here, you can buy them in mason jars by volume at the aforementioned "flea" markets- fiddy cents for 3 tablespoons ;)

I have a used fleece. Is that any good to you?

Kinda funny that BP censors k**b (knób) and w***y (wílly), but not dildo. DILDO DILDO DILDO DILDO. I'm childish and I know it, also fúck censorship.

I guess I’m pretty brave, then.

You first, cowboy!

Yep, that's me here. Funnily though, it's the pic from above but on reddit as first place,then a bunch of guitars, a violin, and Louis Armstrong playing the trumpet. Google's algorithms are... just something else.

OUCH

But it's not a sin to monetize the word of God. Just ask every super church pastor and televangelist

Serious sin to monetise relics??? Um….

lol you sweet summer child.

While I agree with the sentiment...have you seen the Catholic church?

"it's a serious sin to monetize relics" - Does the church know that? lol

How do you think people got reliquaries in the first place? They bought them. And certainly protestants won't care if you buy and sell them. They don't believe in saints

It's also a sin to abuse children, yet... *shrugs* where there's a seller, there's a buyer, if OP wanted to get good cash for this item, they'd find a market. (just to make a point here, I do not want to equalise abusing children and selling attic-found relics, although some people will probably be equally unashamed of partaking in them. To me, only one of them is a sin (if I may call it that as an atheist), the other one simply wasted money, but who am I to judge?)

Crazy because even Bibles cost money

Many folks aren't Christian. Let the Christians get their panties in a wad.

Or you could keep it on hand for fighting Catholic vampires!

It's not a sin if it's a "donation" of money.

Seriously These ghoulish trinkets were made for the christian market. Who else would buy it? They only exist because christians will pay money for them.

Fortunately, money > sin

You apparently know different Christians from those I know. They would monetize the living daylight out of that thing.

Yes. It reminds me of a book by Humberto Eco, where this adventurer called Baudolino gets a dozen heads of John the Baptist to give as presents to the different kings he encounters along the way. He has the "real" one and eleven fakes, but they get mixed and nobody knows which one is the real one, so all of them become "the real one".

Exactly my thought.
