What Happened in the Garden of Gethsemane?

The Gospels note that Jesus told His disciples to “sit here while I pray” (Mark 14:32). He acknowledged His sadness, asking them to keep watch, as “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death” (14:34). He walked a bit farther from them, sank to His knees, and cried out to His Father, God. “Abba, Father,' He said, ‘everything is possible for You. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what You will’” (14:36). This was no casual prayer -Jesus was distraught. Matthew’s Gospel tells us “He fell with His face to the ground” (Matthew 26:39) as He prayed with all His might.

Revelations 5:6 - Then I saw a lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The lamb had seven horns and seven eyes…

i feel like people don’t depict this surreal, creepy description of Jesus a lot but it lives in my head rent free

The problem with "curing" cancer is that killing cancerous cells is very easy but killing all of the cancerous cells and only the cancerous cells is very very hard.

also much of what works in a petri dish doesn't work in a much more complex organism like a mouse. and on top of that much of works in mice doesn't translate to humans. and on top of that there are many different types of cancer. like most pop press articles on scientific matters ones about cancer should be disregarded outright.

That's why it always bothers me when my mom, trying to be an environmentalist, says "I bet dandelions cure cancer." and I'm like. You're very sweet mom for understanding that dandelions are important and not a weed, but also: Cancer is a catch all term for malignant cell growth, and an organism does not need to be useful for us to be important. That being said, dandelions are very useful as they are edible from tap root to blossom.

Was drunk and bored and getting annoyed at the ridiculous coverage of the US election so I decided to fix the place.

I'm from Australia where we only have 7 states, as such I have the (objectively correct) opinion that 50 is too many states, so I decided to cut it down to 10.

A few notes on my improved US map:

•Despite Illinois making the cut, Chicago is now in Michigan, due to the state getting the entire bank of its namesake.

•Boston is also in Michigan due to special exception.

•New York is now the capital of Pensylvania

•Yes that's how you spell Pensylvania

•The border of California is just roughly the Rockies, no need to overthink it.

•Making Florida bigger actually dilutes it's power, but Texas must be abolished

•Colorado should still be a rectangle, that's my mistake, I just couldn't be bothered fixing it.

•Alaska has been returned to Canada with a hand written apology

•All the random ass islands that the US forgot to pretend they didn't colonise have gained independence

Please let me know if there are any more improvements you can think of.

Edit: As a number of you have mentioned, Alaska never belonged to Canada, and giving it to them would be incredibly wrong when the native people have been trying to gain independence all this time.

Luckily, the apology note got lost in the mail in all the turmoil, so Canada never realised they're meant to have Alaska now. The Alaskans just start quietly self-governing and hoping the US and Canada don't notice, then after a few years they declare independence.
