You say that, but remember, hangings used to be a public spectacle, they'd take kids to go see them, and people would be selling confectionery and other treats.

Yeah it's weird and fucked up, but that shit happened for a loooong time all across the globe.

Reply to Hang man is a pretty disturbing kid’s game considering it’s about a man getting executed if your diction isn’t good enough by Looney_forner

It's okay to occasionally let kids expose themselves to disturbing things, especially in innocuous ways like stick figures. Depending on their age obviously. Kids are people, and we usually don't get to choose when life hands us disturbing experiences. Knowing what's out there helps you cope if it ever confronts you.

There’s a tribe of aboriginees in Austrailia that reference direction solely on the point of shadow from the sun at that particular time. Too lazy to google it, but it fits with your observation.

Teachers didn't play back then.

"Hello Mrs. Johnson, I had to beat your son this morning for publicly stating that he didn't want to do his homework. No, no, I already had the switch prepared for him, it didn't take any time away from the class. Oh, and I made sure to give him an extra assignment just in case he was getting bored at home"

I recently discovered that my nose is bent on the inside which makes it harder to breathe through it. It makes me more prompt to breath through my mouth which is bad for mouth health. So yeah I've been breathing wrong...

I'm in the foreground in a few. Attended a friend's family reunion. They put me in the picture up front to confuse everyone who wasn't there. I also took a kid to his family reunion while I was his caseworker. We were not the same race. They put me in the picture, too. Again, they thought it would be hilarious years later to try to figure out who I was related to. I got a family t-shirt at that one. Still have it.

Ok, OP, thanks for posting this because I’ve had a question for a few days and didn’t know the best outlet to ask. Google sent a marketing email about their “Magic Eraser” tool in their photo app that removes background clutter, including people. I feel like that’s wrong—do we need to make everything perfect? Can’t there be some blemishes?
