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

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.

The wreaths summon her. No additional effort required.

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

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

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.

severe mental health problems

religious zealot

I mean.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.'

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.

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

[–] BarelyTheramin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

PS: Sorry for the webm

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.

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

[–] GentlemanLoser@reddthat.com 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, to people like you anyway lol
