Pope Joan

Oh, we're back to measuring skulls lmao
- I’d like to hit him up side the head.

  Lmao he's 100% shorter than 5'7
  
  This one always makes me laugh because I have known guys like him with that exact smug look on their face and similar worldviews and none of them had their lives together.
- OCCIDENTAL HAPLOGROUP B4 IS DONE GIVING ORDERS AROUND HERE. THE INFLUENCE OF THE "HAM SANDWICH RACE" IS WANING."
  OFFSHOOTS OF THE SEMENESE PEOPLE INVENTED DISCO WHILE HAVING SEX UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF COCAINE. IT IS A SHAME UPON MY RACE - BUT WHAT IS DONE IS DONE
- this shit never actually stopped. it just fell into the background but it was always there, influencing and waiting

wait a second, the pope has a giant skull tattoo on his face?
is he in MS-13?
- That's why he was deported to the Vatican.
  
  Is the Vatican actually a prisoncamp?
  Is that why there are so many pedophiles there?
  
  makes sense
- Top tier giggles to be found here.
  
  thanks (:

After the advent of DNA testing, many anthropologists and archeologists were embarrassed because skeletal remains were missexed.
Even my A&P textbook had this garbage in it. It claimed racial difference in the skull and sex difference in the Hip bones. But it's bullshit. The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is with DNA.
'The Mismeasure of Man' by Gould is a fascinating history of bio-determinism and psudoscientific attempt to measure it.
- many anthropologists and archeologists were embarrassed because skeletal remains were missexed.
  I mean I get it. Impossible to tell without skeletal boobs.
- Archaeologist here, maybe it's just new wave training but widely taught that it's not an easy task to sex skeletons on morphology alone.
  Sure some features appear more commonly amongst men and some more commonly amongst women, but there is considerable overlap.
  Pelvis are generally identifiable, but the bio-archaeologists I know prefer to say the skeleton displays female characteristics without providing a definitive biological sex. They have to have some great evidence before claiming for certain.
  Also fun fact, you can't measure this morphology when there's still skin and muscle fucking attached.
  
  The show Bones had a lot of weirdness, but I did appreciate that they consistently (at least the first few seasons when I was watching) stripped the bones down and even had a bug guy on staff to do it efficiently.

  What about sexing a pope?
  
  Take them to dinner first and see if y'all click
  
  Well, I guess you'd check under his skirt or whatever you call it.
  
  Dig up their corpse. Put it on trial.
  
  Most anthropologists and archaeologists are too old for that.
- The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is to be interested in what they're interested in, and not say stuff like "ay, babey, you'd looked better with more meat on those bones!" Otherwise, just ride the vibe and see where the mood takes you.
- Complete tangent- I’m not up on the new lingo, is sex your presentation to the world, whether you’re xx or xy, or something else? Because I’ve been seeing quite a bit of conflation between sex and gender lately and it’s left me confused.
  
  Typically, "sex" is used in reference to biological characteristics, and "gender" to sociological ones.

Same energy as the boy wolf girl wolf post, lol.
- Inside of you there are two wolves. One looks like a fox with owl makeup and the other like a puck-nosed shepherd dog with strabism.
  
  "They are both gay"
- Yeah, those are clearly cartoon skulls on each side
  Are they saying that the new pope is Elasticmom from The Incredibles?

That's right! The skull goes in the square hole

I'm surprised magas care so much about the pope considering they don't follow any christian morals or tenets.
- It's ragebait, American fascists have always hated Catholics. At least in part just because so many immigrants are Catholic.
  This ain't new
- I’m not an expert but I believe the pope is for Catholicism and not Christianity.
  
  Catholics and Protestants are both Christians, Catholicism is pretty unified in doctrine, and Protestants are a large group of very diverse denominations of Christianity. When I was forced to go to church, my pastor would often joke about Baptists forming new denominations over differing opinions on drape colors. Outside of those two groups, there are tons of other flavors of Christianity. Off the top of my head you've got Mormons, Greek Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, jehovas witnesses, and Oriental Orthodox
  
  TIL Martin Luthor was the first Christian.
  
  Its all the same lie.
- Just as "extremists" from other religion claiming they belong to it. We're just less accustomed to seeing people claiming being chrisitans doing it. They obviously aren't but as time will go on more and more christians will get criticized for being christians because "look what your fellow christians do!" Rings any bell? "But if Christians behave that way it's because it's rooted in their religion!". And maybe it is... Who knows, but what these people do seem very non-christian.

Just made me think about phrenology.
"I am not just a racist. I am an educated racist." - Measurehead
- Stupidest science ever. How do you even read bullshit like this? Maybe I should probe for a bulge where “criticism” is.
  
  it's real, you can confirm it by denting their skull in the area associated with "reasoning, causality, planning" and observe them fall insensate to the ground
  
  I misread foresight as foreskin lmao 😂
- THE UNPROMISING RACE PUPIL RETURNS
- "The influence of the "ham sandwich" race is waning "

I’m tired dog
- What stops you from doing the same to them. This is the funniest shit. Why don't we work. This is how deep they go and we're like "I'm tired I'm so sweepy guys why can't the other swide jus pway nice"
  pirate some photo shop. Drink a couple beers and fucking troll. What happened to the left being comedians and artists. Too busy selling feet pics?
  Let's fucking go.
  
  People are tired because there's literally no winning with tactics like that. The idiotic tactics on display in the OP aren't about realistically "winning" the culture war. It's just sowing so many nonsense weeds that any reasonable discussion is choked off of the vine. When you allow inanity like "male/female skull assignment" as a platform instead of "simply being correct", the whole game goes down the toilet. It's now just "who can shout the loudest and the longest and into the most ears directly". That's not a race with a finish line, it's the cultural equivalent to a "last person shitting" contest and these motherfuckers are full of shit.
  If you have a mind to think, you can only turn it off so long. And when the reasonable person does switch theirs back on, they'll eventually have to contend with the mess.
  
  There’s no winning against them fighting fire with fire. They’re masters of this stuff. Of double speak, hypocrisy, avoiding accountability, distraction, and so forth. I don’t want to fight just to fight. I want to fight to win.
  I agree with you that a fight must be fought. But, maximizing efficiency, what exactly is the fight?
  
  There’s no consistency to their beliefs. You cannot “gotcha” them by pointing out hypocrisy, it in fact makes them happier.
  
  The next revolution will be memeified
  
  If you come down to their level, they beat you with experience/

I love their little diagrams showing us just how fucking wrong they are.
"That's a female skull! (As long as you ignore 40% of the bone mass)"
- literally just the skulls of disney characters

Ah, yes, the bastion of radical progressivism and LGBTQ+ rights, the.... Catholic Church?
- When every single pope looks like a left-wing extremist to you, you may have strayed too far to the right.

Transphobic sex-purists think the perfect male/female bodies are built like Disney characters
- but what about the Green M&M?
  
  jerma985 looks like the yellow m&m how DARE he 🤬😡
  
  (one of my favorite jerma clips btw)
  
  misread this as "German M&M"
- That's their research material

I’m sad that I live in a world where people think they need the word “transvestigate.”
- Fuckin pansy ass participation trophy snowflakes think they're too good for phrenology /s

The hilarious thing about all these fascist trying to claim that the new Pope is woke is that he's more conservative than Francis.
Prevost opposes the ordination of women to the diaconate, arguing it "doesn't necessarily solve a problem" and could create new issues.[106]
Prevost opposes euthanasia, abortion, and the death penalty.
Prevost opposed the inclusion of "gender ideology" in Peruvian school curricula, stating it promotes "genders that don't exist".[81][121] In 2012, he criticized popular culture's sympathy for the "homosexual lifestyle" and same-sex families.[122] Prevost expressed reservations about "sympathy for beliefs and practices that contradict the gospel"
Just because he doesn't hate brown people and doesn't like trump they're doing trans phrenology on him lol.
- These are all the exact same views that Francis held, almost to the word. The truth is that the Overton Window of the Roman Catholic Church is incredibly narrow. When we talk about a Cardinal being "liberal" or "conservative" that is within this context. In terms of the secular world, the Roman Catholic Church is extremely conservative, even among the most "liberal" cardinals and Popes. Catholics all believe in Catholic dogma, even if they are lenient in how it is applied.

Looks like phrenology is back on the menu boys!

Wow. True Nazi science. And all in a day like May 9th 2025.

Oh, just like they did in Nazi Germany back then, measuring skulls to find inferior people. They called it "Rassenhygiene" back then. It is amazing to see how many Nazi Germany ideas they unearth and recycle in the US nowadays.

Those two skull outlines just look like they were photographed with a different focal length or something. There is no way skull morphology is this strongly affected by sex.
- Yeah... Like there'd be a bit more credence if the guy was going after the pelvis but... You'd have to either xray or extract the pelvis for that.
  
  Even then there's so much overlap in human dimorphism that it's not an exact science, there's still like a 5-10% error rate in sexing perfectly preserved pelvic bones. Accurate enough for anthropology, but that's a big error rate to apply to individuals.
  
  I'm not catholic, but I'm pretty sure they would object to extracting the popes pelvis.

Which fucker moved the garlic rope and opened the coffin of Nazi eugenics theory?
- Oliver Stone

We need a cultural revolution because who the fuck in their American minds decided this?

Are we now doing phrenology, Father?

Aside from the obvious, one of the problems with Transvestigators is that they think all kinds of ridiculous people are trans. Frank Zappa, The Rock, Scarlett Johansson, the guy who plays Mac from It's Always Sunny, JK Rowling, Shaquille O'Neal.
Shaq, for god's sake!
- Transvestigators: "Trans X will never be real X!"
  Also transvestigators: "Trans X are apparently so functionally indistinguishable from biological X that you can't tell the difference from thousands of hours of footage (including their voice) from public appearances and paparazzi voyeurism taken at almost every possible angle over dozens of years, including childhood pictures. Instead you need to resort to convoluted, pseudoscientific, irreproducibly arbitrary, per-person diagrams of what you allege is their skeleton. This applies to dozens of celebrities. But they'll never be a real X tho!"
  Transvestigators are scum, but I feel if I were trans that these "investigations" of obviously and openly cis people would make me feel more affirmed than basically any other form of external validation.
- JK Rowling? 😂 why. Is her hatred for trans people just the same as closeted gays being anti gay?
  
  The obsession with trans people turns into a mental illness. Everything is the fault of trans people.
  
  Funnily enough, she does have some quotes out there about how she was envious of boys getting to be boys. She's obviously not a trans woman but I don't think you can rule out overcompensating repression.
- Shaq, for god’s sake!
  You don't get that big without an unnatural amount of hormones.

What the everloving fuck is wrong with these people?

At school we had a thing where if your ring finger was longer than your index finger then it meant you were a bummer. Never mind the fact that you can change that with slight angling of the hand.
This is what those kids are doing now.

Wait, so his skull layout is in the shape of a crucifix? Maybe it just means he’s extra holy.
- Ironically, that shape is known as a transverse cross (one of the many shapes of crucis that Romans used for crucifixion).

Phrenology is so hot rn

Life imitates art

I really don't understand that they're trying to say here. Dude actually has pretty strong zygomatic arches. We can't all be Abe Lincoln.
- They're saying "I'm a very stupid person, make fun of me"
  
  And make fun of them I shall. I shared this with two friends, both laughed their asses off at the stupidity. Mission complete.

The internet is bringing back 19th Century eugenics pseudo science. I wonder if they think he has dimples on the back of his skull because he has creole ancestry…

Guess what... The media is not even covering this!!!

No joke, that would be so awesome, a year in and he reviews that he is actually she.... The mayhem in the Vatican...
- Popes get to choose their names once sworn in. None has chosen a female name but it remains a possibility...
  
  Then we will see how fast a pope can be unchosen 🤣
- Pope: Takes off bald make-up and reveals luscious locks of hair
- The Vatican: meh reused plotline
