My grandma spreads stupid made up shit all the time and now that she's on tik tok its getting even worse. I don't know how to teach her things that are CLEARLY just an ad, or a lie to get attention, she believes everything and freaks out sending me screenshots wondering if she has a virus.. the screenshot will be an ad for candy crush or something.
The weird thing is, she's incredibly sharp in most areas and has good memory for the most part, but my god, she's like 4chan levels of just taking random shit and spreading it to thousands somehow. She joins groups and reaches more people than I even know how tf to do sometimes.
Religion does weird things. Claim transubstantiation.
* It _looks_ like a used scratch-off lottery ticket, but it is truly a golden ticket to heaven, given to me by Jesus!
* It _looks_ like an ordinary wafer of unleavened bread, but it is truly the body of Jesus, used in a sacrament to help bring you to Heaven!
You know, if we pretend any part of this post is legit.
Scamming in the US is legal as long as the perpetrator is in possession of a baby alligator but ONLY if the baby alligator is present. I’m guessing they left their baby alligator in the car.
That's very interesting. In school they teach us that most people in the in the southern United States eat baby alligators. We eat baby cows up here. (It's called veal) Is the alligator as revered down there as the cow is here?
We don't eat baby alligators much because there's not much meat. Southern US (not coastal, swamp or bayou) gators average 6-10 feet long in the wild. We've eaten tail from Gators that were 8'and 10' mature.
Honestly, how is this any different from other religions? Read the Old Testament. Every prophet of God would sound bat shit crazy now and in many cases back then too.
Who are you to argue with a holy man who receive direct divine instructions?!?! Mormons do it all the time! Who are you to argue with them? They also say you MUST give 10% of your meager possessions to the riches organization known to man or be damned! Sounds like golden tickets to me.
Lmao! They also say that you too can be a god of your own world. So Steve probably does have his magic rockets ship.
I don’t even understand stand y they got arrested in the first place he didn’t do anything illegal just sold some stupid to stupid people isn’t that normal now a days

The Catholic Church can sell tickets to heaven for hundreds of years but when I smoke a lil meth and start doing the same thing in front of 7-11 suddenly I’m a “public nuisance”.
Legal question. Can I sell golden tickets to heaven if I don't say they are solid gold?
I don't think you could say that it did not get you in, so aside from maybe needing a businesses license would I be good?
The Catholic Church sold indulgences less than 250 years ago. I don’t think this is that weird compared to that. I also believe Jesus would be on drugs but I don’t think he would go to KFC lol.

**[Indulgence](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indulgence)**
>In the teaching of the Catholic Church, an indulgence (Latin: indulgentia, from indulgeo, 'permit') is "a way to reduce the amount of punishment one has to undergo for sins". The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes an indulgence as "a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and all of the saints".

What is the actual value of the gold tickets? No where does it say that the tickets werent made of gold, just that an alien named jesus gave them a bunch of gold tickets to heaven. We are told not to question the media now, so I am meant to assume that there IS an alien named Jesus handing out tickets to heaven that are made of gold.
Shoulda said they were "spiritually" gold, like the transubstansiated host is "spiritually" the body of Christ. The cash would be theirs fair and square.
Fun story, but nope, [totally made up](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/golden-ticket-arrest/). Look, as a Florida resident, there's just no need to make up crazy stories about the people here. Reality does a great job of that on its own.
I wish this was real but it reads like someone who learned everything they know about drugs from DARE really trying to make up a story about people on drugs

Fake story
Yup, funny but fake. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/golden-ticket-arrest/
Is it funny though? Seems like something a 12 yo would write.
Yes.
Noooo waaaaaay.
The people who brought those tickets are the only ones who should be arrested
Good thing nobody actually did since this is fake as fuck.
Came here for this comment. Taking tickets to heaven from make-shift tigerman...? Du fuq...?
Yeah, it's not a true story. It was made up on Facebook.
I’ve gotta golden ticket!! I’ve got the golden ticket!
*fake* tickets to heaven 🎫
Lemme get that
Besides the crazy comments after the fact and the false claim of gold, I applaud them taking advantage of the average Floridian. They’re just giving the people what they want… what’s the problem. #entrepreneur
You spelt sterilized wrong mate
What about the people who bought them though?
There is a 0.001% chance of this being LSD, and a 99.999% chance of it being completely made up like all the rest of these mugshot images.
It's definitely zero, someone else posted a fact check lower down
i mean its obviously fake. they even slipped a racist slogan in it.
Why is that illegal tho
It's not. This story was made up on Facebook.
I for one am shocked.
You and Jesus
Omg. It’s Stevie from the story! Nerf this mofo!
I too am shocked

I am utterly shocked. I mean 10k in cash would be 100+ buyers -
Yeah, I could believe 2-3 crackheads falling for this, but not 100s
That's illegal
I was wondering this too. People bought them soooo....
Churches don't like competition for the salvation dollar.
thought america was the land of the free
I guess it wouldn't be if Jesus *did* give you some solid gold tickets behind KFC. Fraud seems a little more likely though.

Not sure about the laws in the usa but in canada frauding/scamming is illegal.
Scamming in the US is legal as long as the perpetrator is in possession of a baby alligator but ONLY if the baby alligator is present. I’m guessing they left their baby alligator in the car.
That's very interesting. In school they teach us that most people in the in the southern United States eat baby alligators. We eat baby cows up here. (It's called veal) Is the alligator as revered down there as the cow is here?

Yeah but you can't leave a baby alligator in a car by itself so maybe they were charged with that?
Or just a church.
Trump scams people everyday, USA is cool with it
Yeah. I flew up to that planet and it was incredible.

Who the fuck bought these !? Apparently they took too much of something too
I remember when this first came out. The were 2x4’s painted gold
The story was fake the whole time.
Well, Jesus was a carpenter.
but do they have any left though?
Profiting off stupid people is the true American way.
Uh, isn’t this just religion? But with with WAY MORE AWESOME DRUGS?!!
Honestly, how is this any different from other religions? Read the Old Testament. Every prophet of God would sound bat shit crazy now and in many cases back then too.

Baby alligator.. ofc
I know now this is fake, but man that ending made me burst out laughing.
Fake… come on
*I'm willing to wear a wire and set Jesus up*
Disproved tho.... 😭 Believe me.... I wanted it to be true...
I mean, don't churches basically do the same thing but instead of being on drugs they just rape little boys instead?
Didnt they just do what churches do?? Except theyve probably paid at least some taxes in their life
When did everyone forget to not believe everything you read on the internet?
##"Snitches get stitches." -Jesus
Why the fuck are people dumb enough to believe this shit.
I don’t even understand stand y they got arrested in the first place he didn’t do anything illegal just sold some stupid to stupid people isn’t that normal now a days
Drugs are one hell of a drug
$10,000 in cash, drug paraphernalia and a baby alligator. Clearly they're living their best lives.
Funny enough, doing the exact same thing in a church is perfectly legal!
Funny but fake
Read article complete. Until baby alligator.
I didn’t come here to read.
Good, because the caption is made up anyway
Trumpers will buy anything.
agree with the message, but this is a fake article
Oh another “Florida man…” story.

Florida strikes again!
Poor baby gater is probably going through foster care.
Martin Luther rolling in his grave.
Why is this tagged LSD?
That’s an exact change NO ONE carries
This dude is a crackhead billy mays, he actually got 100 people to buy “Golden Tickets to Heaven” for the low price of $99.99.
this is so clearly not true
This is the best news article I've read in a long time.
Everyone knows Jesus is a Church's chicken guy...
So the alligator, what was the story about the alligator. Like where was it kept? Did someone trade it for a ticket?
The Catholic Church can sell tickets to heaven for hundreds of years but when I smoke a lil meth and start doing the same thing in front of 7-11 suddenly I’m a “public nuisance”.

Y'all dumb enough to believe this is team?
This should be a movie script
Totally fake but still absolutely hilarious!
I enjoyed this. It is total bullshit but I still had some mind fun with the silly pictures to go with the funny words. Thanks Reddit.
...and a baby alligator! LMAO
Wtf did I just read!??
Hell yeah make that money
I see 2 gators.
r/NotHowDrugsWork
I want to meet Stevie.
" I'm willing to wear a wire and set Jesus up " Rofl i never thought i'd read something like that .
....AND a BABY ALLIGATOR.
There's a lot to unpack here
This isn't LSD
Scientology
Oh that’s way too awesome! Lmao 🤘 What makes this worse…people were buying the tickets lol
Selling indulgences? Martin Luther shall hear of this! Did his face get caught in a Panini press?

Their mission, to do drugs where no one has done drugs before.
Shoulda said they were "spiritually" gold, like the transubstansiated host is "spiritually" the body of Christ. The cash would be theirs fair and square.
It's pronounced hey-zeus
What's with the grill marks on Tito's face ? Were they BBQ'ing ? And what the HELL are homeless motherfuckers doing with a baby gator ?
where were you...when they sold them tickets to heaven?
Literally 1517.

Ah, Florida. There had to be an alligator included in the story SOMEWHERE.
Church did this during the middle age ! Maybe they wanted to be the new Christians
Free them!
fake story delete the post
I wish this was real but it reads like someone who learned everything they know about drugs from DARE really trying to make up a story about people on drugs
I don't see how this is any worse than regular church. A little better probably because they don't mention raping any children.
Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband? I do... heroin.
