Setarkus,

I used to pick up 5 sticks of approximately equal length that were sufficiently bendable without breaking.
They can then be assembled into a nice pentagram after a few tries to stop them from falling apart and left at the side of the road.

An alternative method is to use those reed-like, long, strong “grass” to make one from a single piece instead of multiple. Those are usually smaller though

Sounds on brand for Drew Mackie. Love his podcasts.

Jamixthedestroyer,

I feel like both of these people have too much time on their hands, but only one is innocuous and hilarious

Guys what the fuck. Locking this. Take a breather.

Edit: problem user removed. Carry on.

Chaotic Good

penix,

Chaotic neutral at best, more likely lawful evil. You’re directly causing someone else suffering for your own amusement without using violence.

Hyggyldy,

Or that neighbor could mind their own business and move to the real world.

Nobody is causing suffering. that person is choosing to suffer.

penix,

Those are some mental mental gymnastics you’re gymnasticking.

Catoblepas,

Lawful evil would be doing this to someone with severe mental health problems, like gang stalking delusions. Leaving biodegradable handmade art somewhere and laughing because a religious zealot is giving themself the vapors is chaotic neutral at worst.

SuddenDownpour,

severe mental health problems

religious zealot

I mean.

Catoblepas,

I hear you, but they’re not synonymous. Plenty of religious zealots are that way because it’s an easy avenue for control over others, and how much they believe of their chosen religion is an open question. If it’s a sliding scale of mental health issues, religious zealots are closer to ‘just get therapy and deal with some shit’ than ‘needs medication to understand that their neighbor, mail carrier, coworker, and that random guy that passed them in the street aren’t colluding to ruin their life.’

SuddenDownpour,

Fair nuance. I wouldn’t diagnose a millionaire megachurch priest who has bought a private jet with the money gained from fooling people with a mental illness, but the people who stand to gain nothing but have reached such a mental stunlock that they actively fight against the evidence that they’re getting abused when it’s presented to them are a different matter.

Mr_Blott,

My brushcutter does this all the time. IS MY STIHL POSSESSED?!?

BarelyTheramin,

Absolutely. Bury it next to a stream on a new moon, dig it back up on the full moon, then take it to a spa day with you for a full massage and sauna.

elbowdrop,

Ok, will do. Where does she live? Or do I need to find my own crotchety old lady to bother with my devil craft?

BarelyTheramin,

The wreaths summon her. No additional effort required.

Corkyskog,

I guarantee if you make enough of these for long enough, your own crochety lady will just appear. We have someone who supposedly brings up complaints about “pagan idols” (garden gnomes) at every town meeting, and our town is relatively normal and boring by most standards.

penix,

Deliberately being an asshole to people is cool. 😎

GentlemanLoser,

How’s this being an asshole? She’s getting triggered by vegetation, pretty sure she’s the one with the problem

penix,

It’s like, if you held up a sign outside a black family’s house that said “SremovedS HERE” and then just tried to explain it away as being jovial and laughing. You know what you’re doing, and you can rationalize it any way you like, but you’re still being a piece of shit.

can,

Are you okay?

givesomefucks,

To a religious nut job?

It’s safe to say she’s being a dick to people about other things if she’s ranting on next door about witches

penix,

It’s like, if you were drawing swastikas all over your neighborhood because your nutjob religious Jewish neighbors get so mad about it. Problem, jewbags? They are just Tibetan good luck symbols.

Doing things deliberately to bother other people, especially because of the perceptions they hold or what they believe, is shitty.

GentlemanLoser,

That analogy might work if grass wreathes represented genocide, but as it is, nah bruh

Hyggyldy,

The world's shittiest analogy. It's more like posting posters of happy interacial couples around bigots.

penix,

Sure pal! Whatever you need to tell yourself so you can keep being shitty to people you don’t like! If you feel righteous then you can’t be wrong.

Imagine being so privileged that someone leaving weed wreaths around feels like oppression....
(and not just any oppression, but holocaust level oppression, no less!)

Hyggyldy,

Ah, must be a troll. You're not even engaging with the things people are saying to you.

some_guy,

If you think making wreaths is shitty behavior, I’m not sure what to tell you. Maybe try avoiding the internet at large?

penix,

So check this out, making the wreaths is not the shitty behavior here, it is just the manifestation of the shitty behavior. The shitty behavior is intentionally doing something to bother another person. You just make excuses and do mental kickflips to rationalize it because the target is someone you think deserves it. It’s pretty fucking easy to be nice to other nice people that you like. It’s very difficult to be nice to people that aren’t nice that you don’t like, so people will make up little excuses and ticks on an imaginary tally board in their mind so they can feel righteous and give themselves permission to be shitty to them.

Because guess what? Constantly needling a crazy person will lead to that dumb bitch also feeling right and righteous in doing something to bother the OP, like burning down his house and killing his dog to cleanse the evil spirits.

Ultimately this all boils down to “ha ha ha I continually harass a mentally ill woman, internet. Now smash that like button.”

GentlemanLoser,

Weird that you thought it was good to include “jewbags” ngl

penix,

It’s just an arrangement of contrasting colors in various shapes surrounded by blank space, it doesn’t mean anything. If anyone is upset about it that’s their problem and if they are then also good.

can,

Bruh

Gatsby,

Damn, you really took being offended at some guy making wreaths into an excuse to be rasict?

Brother you might be racist.

Mr_Blott,

Well, to people like you anyway lol

penix,

Sure man, you can always rationalize being a shitty person to other people.

Mr_Blott,

Worked for Hitler 🤷

penix,

Guess what, everyone thinks their cause is righteous; everyone thinks everyone else’s is stupid.

Mannimarco,

Believing in witchcraft is pretty stupid though

penix,

Oh yeah definitely. If a chick is like “lol I’m a witch” that just means she has BPD and hairy armpits.
