I would suggest a book of jokes specifically for kids. Like this one.

It's free on Kindle Unlimited. You don't even have to let your daughter know that you're getting them from a book.

It's not that you have to, but the very fact that i could owns slaves, beat them daily, rape them, sell them, and do almost anything I wanted with them and God would give me a thumbs up as I walked through the pearly gates.

You don't see how Jesus Christ, the Messiah of the Christian church, who are named for being "Christ like", and the Bible, the holy book of his teachings and God's stances on the rules to enter heaven, are relevent to his people?

I actually agree with you.

Jesus and the Bible are irrelevant to Christians.

I think he's referring to Jesus' pro-slavery stances.

Agreed but the play was reviewable. However, there are rules saying you can't call a new penalty during a review. This needs to change.

I like it. It's a good reminder that i've been scrolling too long when i start seeing posts that are in the negative.

Back to 0 "Lemmy equivalent of Karma" score.

But now he's in the negatives again.

Meh. I'm a white cis man who voted for Harris. Fuck labels and preconceived notions of manliness.

To add to this, it's widely used in Brazil who copied it from surf culture.

China also uses it as part of their one hand counting system. To them it's the number 6 (pronounced 'leo'). The use of it in western culture has allowed them to adopt it as a way of saying something is cool. They will say 666 (pronounced "leo leo leo") while making the hand gesture to say something is cool. This fact was very fun to explain to my ultra conservative family back in the states.
