Be careful driving anywhere near this guy, he clearly has no idea how to pull out

[-] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com -4 points 8 months ago

Pulling out sucks

[-] Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 35 points 8 months ago

Wife two seems to be slacking or new, and wife four needs a dog to balance things.

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

The man also fathered the animal children, with 3 of the wives

Didn’t think they allowed that 😂

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 33 points 8 months ago

Where do they find the money????

Wow, so Reagan’s welfare queens were Mormon!

What a bunch of assholes.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

Welfare (seriously).

[-] TheJims@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago

The four mothers are fourteen

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 15 points 8 months ago

Must be one of the good ones to wait til they're that old.

They're 14 now after a few kids...

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 5 points 8 months ago

I know, they usually start earlier!

[-] yggstyle@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

The guy is between families because he's constantly traveling between them.

A fun bonus would be if his sticker was mobile and he moved it family to family depending on where he was that day.

All kidding aside:

Kudos if he's making that work and not being a terrible father. That looks exhausting.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 8 months ago

Spoiler: he’s barely involved.

[-] yggstyle@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

...but he put ~~stuck~~ families on his car. Just look at that commitment! I'd like to imagine in reality someone is just having fun with stickers but who knows haha.

edit: put stick families on his car... stuck stick families... words are hard. 😅

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Actually I think that's their kill count.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

They’ve done it, nonbelievers get scalped. And yes, these wonderbread Mormons have no qualms reaping money off the red man

You can spot many like that in the endless lines for the stupid fucking soda shops that extend out into the road. Just go to a bar and drink ffs

[-] Deez@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

For an ignorant Australian, what are these soda shops?

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Utah has a lot of Mormons, who don’t drink alcohol. Craft soda shops are the latest fad, get vanilla in your coke or whatever. These white bread mofos go crazy for it

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Image a bar that makes cocktails/mixed-drinks. Now, change the various alcohols with Soda. Next, add a drive through.

[-] Deez@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago
[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Mormons are often big on those sorts of trendy things, so yes, you might save 30cents if you bring your own.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If I recall correctly the whole Stanley mug craze was literally started by a group of Mormon suburbanite women so yeah checks out

Edit: according to this: https://youtu.be/7UpaKlGfwHU

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

4 wives? Isn't that the limit in Islam?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I think so. Is there a limit to FLDS Mormons?

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Just that less than three wives and no happy ending for you.

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Not technically aside from population limits,

What's weirder is that the dynamics it creates means FLDS colonies effectively behave like Lion Prides

Men will actually be kicked out if they come of age without finding wives outside the community because the older men will have hoovered up all the eligible women already and see the young men as rivals for those womens' attention, and on the extreme end as a lethal threat to those womens' children since yes, FLDS men will occasionally form gangs that kill older men divvy up the "breeding age" wives, and kill most of the children both to wipe out the old groom and to prevent any children from taking revenge on bio-dad's behalf over remembering the man being killed by new dad.

There's actually occasional shootouts in northern mexico related to this wife taking behavior because the local authorities are less well equipped to go after the lunatics and also often take bribes from the ones who don't feel like the effort of keeping it under wraps.

[-] drphungky@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Fun fact: yhis kind of behavior as well as historical roving bands of young unattached men is actually why polygamy is illegal most places. It has nothing to do with women's rights, it's fundamentally dangerous to society.
