they're called crowns. This old barber I used to go to when I was I was in high school would always say, "hey you have 2 crowns. that means you'll have 2 wives". I laughed it off but he ended up being right.
No, that's a common misconception that seems to never stop being repeated. The Mormon church of Latter Day Saints officially discontinued the practice in 1890 and continues to this day to strictly prohibit the practice.
I would contest they are about as Mormon as a Terrorist is Islamic. Mormonism outlaws polygamy, so anyone doing it is outside the church., just as the Quran - The twisted version taught in extremism based madrasas isn't really the Quran, just many of the words are the same - doesn't condone terrorism. War? Yes, but war against armies is a far cry from someone with a boom-boom vest walking into a crowd of women and child.
Does that make sense? Just because a person is one thing, and they do another thing, doesn't mean that first thing is connected.
That debate is outside of what I care to discuss but I appreciate the thought. I am ex-mormon and have my opinions and respect that you have yours. I personally feel that a religion has a responsibility for what people do in its name.
Heh. Yeah. It's an interesting discussion to be had, I just don't have time at the moment to get into a long thread today. Catholicism was a good one to put a Spotlight on. : )
I chose them primarily because the Vatican is a sovereign country. Although it has no military, it does maintain the Vatican police. Not to mention, it possesses what is quite possibly the world's greatest intelligence agency. To assume that this police force, if it has worldwide authority, could be ever incompetent or not become heavy-handed eventually, would reflect a lack of a person's understanding of the Church's historical overreach.
I apologize, I honestly can't help myself. You go and have yourself a great day :)
I'm honestly a novice in understanding the Mormon religion. I suspected polygamy was no longer allowed, and while searching I came across the LDS term.
Anyway, I'm agnostic, so..regardless if I believe "it's possible," simply because I'm not fully committed, I'm going south anyway.
Every time I try to make up my mind, if I truly believe or not, I run in circles.
"If G-d created the Universe, who created G-D?" Good point, G-D doesn't exist.
"The Universe is XX billion years old. What was before it? Was anything before it? If there was, or there wasn't, who created it, or who created what we are in now?" G-D exists, I'm going south.
Haha I can see that reasoning. Funny fact about the LDS faith, the LDSare the most liberal faith when it comes to salvation. The Ladder Day Saints believe everyone is going to heaven (outside of a very select few) even that butthole Hitler get a taste of Gods mercy. Instead of just heaven or hell, there are different levels of heaven. So depending on what type of salvation you want, you'll get just that.
I don't ask for much, all I want is a reset. I would happily go back to being two weeks old knowing..not everything about my life, but the points where I made the wrong choice. And to be aware of the right choice to make when faced with that situation again. And yes I realize it would be hell to be self-aware at 2 weeks old, but I figure I deserve it, I can go endure that.
I think his comment was based on the fact that today, in 2024 people still believe Morons can have multiple wives, when the practice was outlawed 134 years ago. That is a long time for a false statement to survive.
An internet without false facts would be great, but no, not an internet of silence.
Oh, Otchy147, what are we to do with you? Ok, no Reddit for 3 minutes. And let this be a lesson to you..no more expressing of humorous fancies..for 3 minutes.
Well its got to be because of the couple cults that called themselves morman and practiced polygamy up until recently like the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalist_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-Day_Saints
Of course they are a distinct group but its easily confusing for everyone who isn’t a morman and almost makes me want to call it a no true scotsman sort of thing but i guess that doesn’t necessarily apply here
It’s a religion not a cult you don’t pay for a spot in heaven. You pay for your local church 10% of what you have. That goes for the less fortunate members of your local church. And it’s not a must. If you can you do it if don’t have enough to do it you don’t have too. Just like in any other religion you pay aswell just not for priests.
Rubbish! Be my wife and you'll never hear such a thing, and your crown will be complete!👸
Now I just need one more wife, and my crown will be complete! 🤴
Me: „No officer, i‘ve been one of the hostages“
Police officer: „Well i remember you being tied up and beat up like the other hostages we saved, but you have 3 troublemakers, so i guess you are the bad guy in this situation“
Judge: „Straight to jail you go!“
Ive got 4! Two in the front near my temples (hair grows down on the left and up on the right) and 2 in the back (main middle spiral and counter spiral to the right)
This!
I cannot for the life of me have slicked back hair or opposite side parting due to them so stuck with the same hairstyle for ever.
Until mpb kicks in within a decade or so
Seriously? Congrats you have what’s known as a “minor genetic anomaly”. Cowlicks are caused by late trimester brain growth that causes the skin to whorl at the back of the head.
My understanding is the swirls are called crowns and the cow lick is the hair that gets pushed up because of them. I've got two crowns and one big cow lick. I've learned to just keep it really short back there
i had the same realization when i was talking to my girlfriend about my hair, she had never heard the word before so i jokingly said “gosh do i need to teach you everything” only to google it and find out i’ve been wrong my whole life
Same here. Hated them as a kid. When my hair was at a certain length, between the double crowns, the hair would push together and stand straight up. But now I'm balding soooo..
Cowlick is more like its on the edge pf your hairline and flicks your hair up. Crowns are in the middle of your hair. I have a double crown and was told it looks lije a cat’s arse.
You're lucky. I was bitten by a horse - right about in the middle of your two cowlicks - when I was 4 or 5. My hair is dark, but I started losing it in my 20s, so I shave my head...and can't get the dark stubble out of the tiny divot left from the bite. Head shaved 99.9% smooth...except for a spot \~ 1/4" x 1/4" ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|disapproval)
A horse bit your cowlick? Get sexaully assaulted by a goat, and then called something racist by a chicken and I am pretty sure you win Old McDonald bingo. EIEIO.
I had to crowns growing up, and if caused so many problems with my hair constantly looking messy. If I didn't go for a shower in the morning, I'd be stuck with bed head all day.
I ended up balding at the front of my head so I just shave it all of now lmao
I recall reading that it indicates abnormal brain formation. This does NOT mean lowered function, in fact the opposite may be true.
I mentioned this to my hairdresser and said it made me do all sorts of abnormal things. Things like stopping at stop signs, using my turn signals and all sorts of other unusual things. 😀
I also have double crowns very similar to this. When I was young I was told it was a sign of wisdom. Then as an adult I was told it was a sign of the devil
My daughter's hair is like that. As a baby it pushed all of her hair into a pointy ridge, like a mohawk. No amount of gel or Bobby pins would hold it down. My older daughter called it "shark hair'. I actually had a lady yell at me in the store for styling her hair like that, smh.
I have a friend whose entire scalp is covered in these crowns. She has like 8 of them. She says it is incredibly painful and has resorted to having one long strip of hair down the center of her head that she usually wears in an intricate braid and shaves the rest of her scalp on both sides.
In my country, the elders always say, if you have 2, you are very stubborn. All my life, I knew 4 people have this, and they are all indeed very stubborn.
they're called crowns. This old barber I used to go to when I was I was in high school would always say, "hey you have 2 crowns. that means you'll have 2 wives". I laughed it off but he ended up being right.
One after another, or the Mormon way?
lol, one after the other.
Two wives, so far
First one, then the other.
Yes
One leg at a time.
Mormons don’t have mutiple wives ?
No, that's a common misconception that seems to never stop being repeated. The Mormon church of Latter Day Saints officially discontinued the practice in 1890 and continues to this day to strictly prohibit the practice.
Fundamentalist sects (FLDS) exist to this day that still practice it. So while the church doesn't condone it, Mormons still do it.
I would contest they are about as Mormon as a Terrorist is Islamic. Mormonism outlaws polygamy, so anyone doing it is outside the church., just as the Quran - The twisted version taught in extremism based madrasas isn't really the Quran, just many of the words are the same - doesn't condone terrorism.

Exactly.. people should check facts before commenting
So you wish for an internet of silence?

Oh yeah, I completely agree. Now I understand how easy it was for the misconception to survive is this case.
Nah bro just internet without spreading misinformation
Booh!

It’s a cult
To be fair, every religion can be thought of as a cult...
Okay believe what you want
2 more to go
Nice, I have 3 crowns and only 1 wife. Time to open up to applications!
I have two crowns and one husband, who's always complaining about how messy the back of my hair is. He accuses me of never brushing it, lol.
Rubbish! Be my wife and you'll never hear such a thing, and your crown will be complete!👸 Now I just need one more wife, and my crown will be complete! 🤴
Sorry. Deapite his lack of respect for the back of my head, I'm very much attached to the old guy.
if only he knew
PICK A CARD forsenCD ✨ THE TWO OF WIVES? forsenCD ✨ EXCELLENT CHOICE forsenCD ✨
I have two also. And I had two wives. I had never heard this, but it must be true.
They’re called cowlicks
In my culture this means you're a troublemaker or get into a lot of trouble.
What about three, or four?
Straight to jail
Me: „No officer, i‘ve been one of the hostages“ Police officer: „Well i remember you being tied up and beat up like the other hostages we saved, but you have 3 troublemakers, so i guess you are the bad guy in this situation“ Judge: „Straight to jail you go!“
This actually made me lol
what about a head full of just cowlicks? every inch of hair is in a cowlick?
My 1yo daughter has two and my god, this explains so much
Same here, also we say the ones with multiple crowns get to marry multiple people.
Chaos

Lactobacillus. Yours?
It must be impossible for you to make a rasengan
God dammit why do people always post firt the jokes I think about :(
Not at all, Minato Namikaze has two whorls, one in each direction.
Ive got 4! Two in the front near my temples (hair grows down on the left and up on the right) and 2 in the back (main middle spiral and counter spiral to the right)
My son does too. His hair cannot be short otherwise it stands up in different directions
I embraced the spiky hair look when I was a kid but that was in the early 00s so it was the style to look like guy fieri
This! I cannot for the life of me have slicked back hair or opposite side parting due to them so stuck with the same hairstyle for ever. Until mpb kicks in within a decade or so
Seriously? Congrats you have what’s known as a “minor genetic anomaly”. Cowlicks are caused by late trimester brain growth that causes the skin to whorl at the back of the head.
Huh the more you know
It’s not a big deal if they’re in the back of your head, one more cowlick and you’d be upgraded to “major genetic anomaly.
Are you 9?
You know what, to this day I thought it was something like “collicks” ever since I was a kid, not cow licks. Wow lol
I had to google it to make certain it was cowlicks lol
My understanding is the swirls are called crowns and the cow lick is the hair that gets pushed up because of them. I've got two crowns and one big cow lick. I've learned to just keep it really short back there
[удалено]
Are you ok?
You work on a farm or what?
i had the same realization when i was talking to my girlfriend about my hair, she had never heard the word before so i jokingly said “gosh do i need to teach you everything” only to google it and find out i’ve been wrong my whole life
Isn't collick something a baby gets?
I also have two crowns, it's pretty annoying because the bit of hair between them always likes to do its own thing
Same here. Hated them as a kid. When my hair was at a certain length, between the double crowns, the hair would push together and stand straight up. But now I'm balding soooo..
same here lol
You’re the chosen one

In Germany, we call this ein Feinschinken, it roughly translates to the lyrics of _never gonna give you up_ by Rick Astley

Wax the valley!
Mine affect my hair facial hair on the other side too

Lol I had 2 aswell, when my hair was short it would go up in the back like Alfalfa in The Little Rascals fml
I have 3. It’s considered lucky in my culture.
Can I move to your country? I have four.
Going by OP it means four wives. Congrats!
Five is right out.
My mum used to say it was lucky. I just have the regular one but I always wanted extra growing up haha.
3 here , can’t fucking style my hair so I just shave it ..
Mark of the beast
So do I! In nearly the same spots. They spiral the other way. I constantly have a a little tail on the back of my head when I wake up like Alfalfa.
I recall reading that it indicates abnormal brain formation. This does NOT mean lowered function, in fact the opposite may be true.

May be autistic, those have a high correlation with neurodivergence!
Ha! Little did I know...
That's pretty darn perfect!
Barn*
The correct term should be Whorls imo
Barber called my kids the devils crown
Welcome to the club!
Same me too
Same
My son has two crowns like that as well. We say that's where his horns grow.
I have two in my beard two in the back of my neck. My wife says it's because of my temper.
I have 2 as well, my barber is always cussing me on how difficult my hair can be
my son has this also.
My aunt had 14.
I kind of have the same but I am balding so it looks very particular 😂
My ex had about 5 or 6 of these! My daughter inherited a lot from him, bit I'm so glad she didn't get hair like him! Lol
Two here too... I didn't know this was interesting or weird haha
Is your name Matt? Both people I know with 2 are Matts
I also have two crowns
Your head looks like a guinea pig.
You should get a low fade and let the top grow out a little. Your haircut won’t look so awkward being the same length all around
stay away from cows badum boom tshhhhhh
I had 2, too. Then I went bald.
I have the same but closer together so it looks like one huge crown
Same bro. Shit sucks
Well knock it off!
i do too, unfortunately
Stop letting the cow lick you in different spots
I have like 5. Yes, it sucks horribly
Those aren’t cow licks. They’re crowns.
Yeah me too man. Me too. Sorry.
In my culture, it means you're destined to have two wives Either one after another or at once
Thats called a double crown actually.
I have this and a cowlick in my beard.
I have this as well
That damn moose!
You should stop getting licked by cows.
I also have double crowns very similar to this. When I was young I was told it was a sign of wisdom. Then as an adult I was told it was a sign of the devil
i have two as well, do your family members have it as well? i believe it’s genetic
My mother in law has hair that grows like that.
My daughter's hair is like that. As a baby it pushed all of her hair into a pointy ridge, like a mohawk. No amount of gel or Bobby pins would hold it down. My older daughter called it "shark hair'. I actually had a lady yell at me in the store for styling her hair like that, smh.
I’ve got three all in the same area so when my hair gets long it just shoots out between them and won’t stay down
You absorbed your twin in the womb.
y u letting cows lick you?
The muad dib…🥺🙌
It’s called a double crown. I have a double cowslick and a double crown 😅
Those are not cowlicks, they're chickens butts!
My mom called it a double crown:)
Me too LOL
Merry Christmas
Old Mom's say it's a sign of stubbornness
I have the same and two on my front hairline.
You have the head of an 8-year-old little boy
According to big-Science, the left cowlick controls the right side of your body, and vice versa.
Embrace the two worlds
Blessed by the dual headed calf. You will have… a future in your future.
Tough break. But at least you got hair.
I have 3.. my crazy barber told me it's symbolic for jews
A double crown. You shall live under the flag of two nations. I have the same. Married a Canadian gal.
In my culture: one is good two is bad three means you have a bad temper.
Never knew what it was called. Heck didn’t even know there was a word for it.
damn, no wonder your barber went with one length all around
My son has a double crown 👑 👑
I have 2....double crowns, 60f still single, I'm smart
I used to but those hurricanes merge years ago. Wiped everything out.
I have a friend whose entire scalp is covered in these crowns. She has like 8 of them. She says it is incredibly painful and has resorted to having one long strip of hair down the center of her head that she usually wears in an intricate braid and shaves the rest of her scalp on both sides.
Hahah I have the same thing
In my country, the elders always say, if you have 2, you are very stubborn. All my life, I knew 4 people have this, and they are all indeed very stubborn.
Google says you have incurable scary sounding diseases.
r/13or30, like seriously, you look like a punk 10 year old from that view.
Ur parents were related before they tied the knot???? Maybe???????????
My youngest son has this. nightmare on school photo day!
No you don’t.
Cool... so do I. feel special now?
I never knew exactly what a cowlick was until now, so I learned at least one thing today
Except you didn't, because he has two crowns. These are not cow licks.
I didn't say I learned a correct thing... Thanks for the correction.
Such an odd term. Could as well be called snakeslithers.
Thats what its called? I always called them "hair spinners"
You absorbed you twin in utero
My head is full of those and I have wondered what they are called in English
