autotldr Bot , to world in Saint Dwynwen's Day: The story of Wales' Valentine's Day

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Legend has it, she had an arranged marriage gone wrong, a frozen man to deal with and ended up as an agony aunt.

Brecon girl Dwynwen, one of 36 daughters of an Irish king, fell in love with Maelon Dyfodrull from north Wales.

Dwynwen settled down after all that drama (worse than Love Island) in a convent in Anglesey, Llanddwyn church.

Just to finish Dwynwen’s weird fortune in love, according to folklore, a sacred fish swam by the church, predicting the future relationships of couples with its movements.

And many people still visit the scenic Llanddwyn church, as part of the Anglesey Coastal Path.

Mr Browne, 34, added that he hopes to celebrate St Dwynwen’s day with his wife and visit the church again.


The original article contains 410 words, the summary contains 124 words. Saved 70%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

I can imagine living in a world where this is the top point of conflict across the globe. No wars, no famine, no climate change, no oppression… Just, “can you believe this twat saying we should put salt in tea!?!”

ThrowawayPermanente ,

And once we’ve solved that conflict and everyone is on the right side of history, the true conflict can begin between the virgin Tea Salters and the chad Salted Tea Enjoyers.

Eheran , to worldnews in Pope Francis says sexual pleasure is 'a gift from God'

So is the pope speaking for/to God or not? Fucking Religions can’t even be consistent within their own made up framework.

givesomefucks ,

If he’s standing it’s his own words.

If he’s sitting on his “throne” then it’s the word of God and the Pope is infallible.

Doesn’t make any sense rationally, but that’s how they differentiate.

He can say this progressive stuff while standing and it just pisses conservative Catholics off.

If he does it “from the throne” we’ll likely see a formal split and conservative Catholics may even nominate their own Pope and officially split.

taladar ,

So, as with any other person, when “on the throne” more shit comes out?

Eheran ,

Is this actually true?

givesomefucks ,

Do you mean is it Catholic doctorine?

Yep.

If you meant “does God literally speak thru the Pope but only when he’s on his special golden throne?”

Then no, it’s not true

bionicjoey ,

The reason it’s only the word of God while he’s sitting on the throne is because the holy Spirit enters through his butt and talks through him like a puppet.

ahnesampo ,

Most of the time the pope is no different from any other Catholic. He has a lot of respect by virtue of his post, but what he says is not the word of God.

This changes if he speaks “ex cathedra” (Latin for “from the chair”, the throne the previous poster is alluding to). Ex cathedra means the pope is defining dogma for all the faithful as the supreme pontiff of the Catholic Church. Think of it as the difference of the US president saying something in a private conversation vs. him issuing an executive order. When the pope speaks ex cathedra, he is considered infallible in the Catholic faith.

Popes rarely speak ex cathedra. Most of Catholic theology is settled, so there is rarely need to clarify anything. The last time it happened was in 1950 about the Assumption of Mary.

Papal (and church council) infallibility does mean that the Catholic Church can never change its mind about things like homosexual marriage and abortion. The Catholic Church says it is Christ’s church on earth, and is protected by the Holy Spirit from error that could lead Christians astray. Saying that they got something as vital as “what is and is not sin” wrong would undermine the church’s entire foundation.

Doods ,

Fucking Religions can’t even be consistent within their own made up framework.

Speak for Christianity, don’t drag us with it.

JJROKCZ ,

No, they’re all full of shit

Doods ,

From your wording and the upvote ratio, I conclude this conversation is going nowhere, I hope you find the right path.

JJROKCZ ,

Make sure to protect your head when you get off that high horse, it’s quite the fall.

There is no right path, make the best of life you can and if the gods have a problem with that then they didn’t deserve worship to begin with.

Doods ,

Would you go to hell instead of me if I do that? (to rephrase it, would you take responsibility?) (you can’t)

Scientifically it makes sense.

But I’d rather take a walking holiday in Milton Keynes than do it.

AnarchistArtificer ,

“rather take a walking holiday in Milton Keynes”

Nice, I’m stealing this one

BirdyBoogleBop , (edited ) to ukcasual in US scientist recommends adding salt to make perfect cup of tea - BBC News

…Okay tomorrow at work I will give it a go. If salt makes tea taste better I will be so mad!

Edit: Well that ruined it. It does get rid of that slight bitterness. I liked that bitterness

metaStatic ,

literally couldn't make it taste worse, amirite?

BirdyBoogleBop ,

Well it did. Its just a regular crap cup of tea now instead of a nice cup of crap tea.

So that it’s bitter? So that you have a reason to put salt in it?

xep , to ukcasual in US scientist recommends adding salt to make perfect cup of tea - BBC News

I tried it. It did seem to work. I will try a few more times and record whether I detect bitterness or not. Ideally I would conduct a blind taste test but I don't want to change my ritual too much.

The world is in a bad place - war, famine, climate change and now this fucker is trying to start WWIII.

Lmaydev , to ukcasual in US scientist recommends adding salt to make perfect cup of tea - BBC News

Absofuckinglutely not.

“I have had better cups of tea at service stations in Ireland than I have had at fancy restaurants in the US.”

Ha, burn.

shalafi , to ukcasual in US scientist recommends adding salt to make perfect cup of tea - BBC News

Damnit. Now the Royal Navy in on the way to dump our tea in Boston Harbor.

Funny enough, a pinch a salt in coffee is a US Navy thing. Tried it, but must have overdone it.

EmoDuck , to ukcasual in US scientist recommends adding salt to make perfect cup of tea - BBC News

I heard in Boston they not only add salt but also some molasses. Wonder what that might taste like

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Salty and sweet

leraje ,

Historically, in Boston, they add the salt by chucking the tea in the harbour.

Ha ha ha ha. No.

This actually makes sense. I might be able to enjoy tea with this trick, rather than just feeling like I am drinking the remnants of some other drink.
