    My girlfriend returns other people’s stray carts when she sees them. I guess she’s getting into super heaven.

      I was a volunteer EMT for the longest time, and I’d always tell people I did it for my own selfish reasons, kinda tongue in cheek like you here, but at the end of the day it always is. I did it because I liked the feeling of helping people. I liked the feeling of giving my time to my community. It just happens it was good selfish and not bad selfish.

        some argue that this “temptation for good” is proof of a god’s existence, but i think it’s “just” an evolutionary trait that brought our species to a great success

    Step 1: Want to be good, always see your mistakes.

    Step 2: Improve a life long, but be happy of your life.

    You can’t do better than that. Anything in that direction is good.
    Just in general. I don’t even know if a god exists. Nor should it change my behavior.

    That’s one thing I’ll never understand; why the fuck are people so entitled that they don’t have enough time to return their carts? That’s a 30 second job at most.

    I’ve never seen anyone do that in Germany, though, maybe we’re well mannered after all.

    I’m sometimes thinking about making a post to 4chan about how not saying slurs is basic human decency in the hopes of it fixing a lot of people, and that it’ll end up as a meme the same way the shopping cart post will (I really want some voice actor to read the shopping cart copypasta in the voice of Slavoj Zizek).

    Only seven souls have gotten into heaven. The most recent one was Fred Rogers. The one before that was over 700 years ago. The rule is to get into heaven, you need to be judged better than the previous one let in.

    See you in hell.

    What if it’s common in my country to put a euro into it and you get it back when you put the cart back? I have never even seen carts left on the parking lot.

      We have those in Canada… At least in my province. They also sell special 3d printed coins that are large enough to unlock the cart, but thin enough that it can’t trap the “coin” inside. It stays on my keychain. we have one for quarters ($0.25) and one for dollars ($1) different chains require different coin deposits.

        First I thought how would you use a cart that unlocks with a Euro in Canada now I’m thinking how are they gonna unlock it with a dollar bill.

        Conclusion: I have absolutely no idea about the fiancial system in Canada.

    If the possibilities after death actually were heaven or hell, the bar to get into heaven would have to be pretty low. You’re going to torture someone for eternity because someone pirated Game of Thrones a few times? That couldn’t possibly be a moral way of running the universe.

    Remember that young boy you run over because you were in a hurry to get Bieber tickets? Turns out he was destined to become megahitler so thats worth like a billion goodguy points.

    Little acts of kindness add up so keep doing them!

    That way when they find the body, you can still get into heaven!

    (That’s a joke obv. Please do not murder.)

    Killed a guy this morning, don’t regret it, in fact I enjoyed it would do it again, probably will, and your gonna give me angel super powers?

    What? Murder isn’t a sin.

    No?

    Of course not, only leaving out your shopping cart.

    What about rap…
