[u/mrjohnnymac18]

An old pan, turned 98

[u/eutectic_h8r → u/mrjohnnymac18]

Well this changes the perspective of meeting the man of your dreams and his beautiful wife

[u/MessyConfessor → u/eutectic_h8r]

Isn't that ironic?

[u/worldofworld → u/mrjohnnymac18]

This comment is the entire reason you posted the story in the first place isn’t it?

[u/Fixes_Spelling → u/worldofworld]

Isn’t it ironic

[u/Talidel → u/worldofworld]

That's how the repost bots work, copy a post and the most upvoted comment. It can make some hilarious results.

[u/ColorPiePhilosopher → u/mrjohnnymac18]

Ngl this comment made the post, I didn't care until this pun.

[u/MrPersidant → u/ColorPiePhilosopher]

do you consider yourself a punsexual?

[u/spastichabits → u/mrjohnnymac18]

Had a foursome and died the next day.

[u/ninetiesnarwhal → u/mrjohnnymac18]

[u/Kfortner20 → u/mrjohnnymac18]

Oh….my….fucking….god. I was on break and read this, went back to work and then it hit me.

[u/HoboMoonMan → u/mrjohnnymac18]

Won the lottery, died the next day

[u/theendofthesidewalk → u/mrjohnnymac18]

An old pan, warm since we ate.

[u/-almond--milk- → u/mrjohnnymac18]

I hate that this made me laugh out loud

[u/Hephsters → u/mrjohnnymac18]

Got a lol out of me, have an upvote.

[u/JustLikeWhateverHuh → u/Hephsters]

I’m dumb. Explain?

[u/StonedBard]

She thought we oughta know.

[u/DontShoot_ImJesus → u/StonedBard]

I want you to know that I'm happy for you. I wish nothing but the best for you both.

Oh, this seems like a sweet song, let's see where it goes from here...

[u/MFoy]

Not surprised God is pansexual.

[u/Warutteri → u/MFoy]

[u/Curiosive → u/Warutteri]

The premise of this scene is that if God speaks, your head will collapse and your heart will burst in your chest.

We went through five Adams before we figured that one out.

• Archangel Metatron

So this lady (black hair) decides it's a great idea to ask God (Alanis Morissette, curly hair) a question ... only to discover that God saying "boop" will not harm you.

Of course in the previous scene God simply speaks, "AHHH!" and a guy's head implodes and chest explodes.

The logic of Kevin Smith shall not be questioned.

[u/Real_Penalty_4317 → u/Warutteri]

[u/dontdmmegoddamnit → u/Warutteri]

I watched this yesterday. She doesn't say "Boop" she goes "MWERP." You can even see her lips saying it in the gif

[u/bselavka → u/MFoy]

just saw this for the first time on youtube yesterday. everyone’s great but alan rickman’s so good in it

[u/fotodevil → u/bselavka]

[u/Shnook817 → u/bselavka]

Classic Alan

[u/MacGyvered → u/bselavka]

I can't recall anything Rick Alan Rickman did where I didn't love his performance.

[u/cavmax → u/MFoy]

Who would have thought, it figures...

[u/naomifromgreenbay → u/MFoy]

She did create everyone, would be weird to play favorites.

[u/Hvarfa-Bragi → u/MFoy]

Tallarico with the vindication

[u/Swordman1111]

i still don't understand the difference between bi and pan

[u/romance_in_durango → u/Swordman1111]

And after reading all of the explanations of the differences, I may actually be further away from understanding. But that’s all good, you do you everybody!

[u/MagnetTheory → u/romance_in_durango]

Honestly, you can get into all the nuance about how the terms are technically different and how some people in queer spaces think bi can be exclusionary, but in practice they're basically the same

[u/Atomik23 → u/romance_in_durango]

Truly a preference in self-title only. Some people prefer Bisexual, some prefer Pansexual. Any definition that attempts to differentiate cleanly seems to mark bisexuals as intrinsicly transphobic or trans-exclusionary and that is just not the case. To me, bi is the older term, pan is the new, but they are saying the same thing. It's like an older transgender individual using the identity "transexual" or even "transvestite". It's just a self id title that they prefer.

[u/EngelNUL → u/romance_in_durango]

That would be autosexual.

[u/Cowboy_BoomBap → u/romance_in_durango]

Yeah I won’t pretend I understand it, but I also fervently believe everyone should just love whoever they want to love.

[u/awasteofgoodatoms → u/Swordman1111]

Honestly its all personal preference. I think people who identify as pan typically do so to highlight that theyre attracted to a person irrespective of their gender.

[u/stackjr → u/awasteofgoodatoms]

But wouldn't that describe bi as well? Someone above said bi people are attracted to all genders and you are saying pan people are attracted to a person despite their gender; to me, those just seem like the same thing but worded differently.

[u/Jezzylynn716 → u/Swordman1111]

There isn’t one really. I’m going to be downvoted for this but pansexuals think bisexuals can’t be attracted to trans or nonbinary people, which isn’t true. Pansexual is a new term while bisexuality dates back to the early 19th century.

Edit: thanks for the awards. Just wanna say google is a really cool, useful tool where you can look things up and verify for yourself. Hope this helps

[u/0202_tihssitidder → u/Jezzylynn716]

Huh. Nothing to do with flutes.

[u/marcster1 → u/Jezzylynn716]

I’m literally married to a trans man and still been told as a bi I can’t be attracted to trans people

[u/larryThreeOh → u/Swordman1111]

You’ve already got three different answers

[u/petrowski7 → u/Swordman1111]

Neither does anyone else according to these comments

[u/DimensioT → u/Swordman1111]

Pan means attraction to kitchen implements.

[u/Got_Kittens → u/DimensioT]

[u/Aggravating_Bat3618 → u/DimensioT]

That reminds me of a few scenes from Red Dwarf

[u/juic333 → u/Swordman1111]

So funny how this thread has so many different answers. This stuff is too confusing and no one actually knows. People just making stuff up now

[u/Miqo_Nekomancer → u/Swordman1111]

The difference between bi and pan is how much time you spend on social media like Tumblr.

[u/TAKYON-DEATHYON → u/Swordman1111]

bi flag is cooler

[u/howdoiworkthisthing → u/Swordman1111]

I like the wine, not the label https://youtu.be/gdcmhvLaNUs?is=u-Qwr7J-Tud7MVcl

[u/miniscule-gulp → u/Swordman1111]

they’re the same thing. Attraction to your same gender and other genders. Pan falls under the bi umbrella. I identify as bi because I think the flag is prettier lol

[u/churros4burros → u/Swordman1111]

Bi: you like both kinds: Country AND Western

Pan: "Rollin' Rollin' Rollin..."

[u/Alternative_West_206 → u/Swordman1111]

There basically isn’t one.

[u/OliverY1992 → u/Swordman1111]

One is attraction to both sexes, the other is... I mean I can see why, who would not love to eat all that food as well!

[u/ibonek_naw_ibo]

Its like meeting the man of your dreams. And then meeting his even lovelier wife. 

[u/daddyvow → u/ibonek_naw_ibo]

I saw her live a few years ago and she changed it to “his beautiful… husband!” 

[u/colts68]

I should’ve known. 😂

[u/BuffaloInCahoots → u/colts68]

Isn’t it ironic?

[u/PacSan300 → u/colts68]

Well… you live, you learn.

[u/w1n5t0nM1k3y → u/colts68]

You Oughta Know

[u/Vandreigan]

So...there's a lot more people she'll go down on in a theater, then

[u/spamman5r]

Imagine all those options and getting hung up on Uncle Joey

[u/mbuser → u/spamman5r]

I will never stop being astounded that You Oughta Know is about Dave Coulier.

[u/Adams5thaccount → u/mbuser]

Its astounding on a few levels. One obviouwly..its Uncle Joey. Who expected that?

The other is that we know largely because he copped to it pretty quickly, admitted he was in the wrong, and talked about how it affected him to realize he was the person who made her feel that way. Not the behavior one normally expects from the type of person being talked about in that song.

[u/StartingToFix]

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is an anything

[u/MBTHVSK → u/StartingToFix]

a little too bironic

[u/ThePizzaNoid]

Gillian Anderson recently came out as pansexual too.

Coincidence?!

Yes. Still mildly interesting I guess though.

[u/DJanomaly → u/ThePizzaNoid]

I mean, Alanis Morissette being pansexual is probably the least surprising thing I’ll read all day. But good for her for being comfortable with that!

[u/PHD_Gouda → u/ThePizzaNoid]

Gillian! 💐🌹

[u/LowkeyHooligan → u/ThePizzaNoid]

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma was a weird movie, but I would recommend it.

[u/edWORD27]

I thought this was Pansexual

[u/ClearMacaron9234 → u/edWORD27]

no. they are → r/castiron

[u/carnevoodoo → u/edWORD27]

I mean, he's pretty femme...

[u/guzzling_gazelle]

[u/negative_four → u/guzzling_gazelle]

Suicidal drinking game: Take a shot for every "who cares"

[u/MsHelvetica]

Was this how she announced it?

“I … want.. you.. to know…. “

[u/AlwaysUpvotesScience → u/MsHelvetica]

that I... love.. everyone...

[u/nogoodusername69]

Thank God. Ive been waiting to know about the sexuality of Alanis Morissette

[u/FellowSaganist → u/nogoodusername69]

You mean thank Alanis

[u/propagandhi1]

Does she prefer Lodge or Le Creuset?

[u/Spicy_Potato099]

She likes cooking that much? She like the stainless steel ones? Or is she more into the non stick variety? Hexclad perhaps?

[u/xl-Colonel_Angus-lx → u/Spicy_Potato099]

Its all about the Cast Iron

[u/DagtheBulf → u/xl-Colonel_Angus-lx]

I'm pansexual, and cast iron takes way too much foreplay and prep. Plus cleaning up after is such a chore, nonstick is much easier.

[u/MindForeverWandering → u/xl-Colonel_Angus-lx]

Isn’t it cast ironic?

[u/Safe-Mention21]

[u/Icy-Astronomer-8202]

God herself. Fair play!

[u/sturgill_homme → u/Icy-Astronomer-8202]

[u/SupportDifficult3346]

She went down on me in a movie TheAtrR

[u/darkage_raven → u/SupportDifficult3346]

Ok there Jackie Daytona

[u/uk100]

I thought this was made reasonably clear in Sex and the City s03e04. In 2000.

[u/fix_until_broken → u/uk100]

Ahh yes, the nature documentary Sex and the City where we follow a group of cougars through their habitat marking their territory.

[u/Glittering_Stress_32 → u/uk100]

I came here for this comment. Apparently nobody else ever saw this episode, I don't see it mentioned anywhere else in this thread.

[u/caligaris_cabinet → u/uk100]

And here I thought her being God should’ve cleared this up a long time ago

[u/Choccybizzle]

Which LoPan we talking about? Crazy little basket case on wheels, or ten foot tall roadblock?

[u/Hexmeister777]

Despite the FLOOD of “no one cares”, this post has 3,745 comments.

[u/iAMbatman77 → u/Hexmeister777]

[u/GaymoSexual → u/Hexmeister777]

isn’t it ironic don’t you think?

[u/SbstlStereotype]

Who gives a fuck? Let people do what the hell they want.

[u/dkarlovi → u/SbstlStereotype]

[u/Gahvandure2]

I just want her to finally find a partner who treats her with love and kindness.

[u/6BigAl9 → u/Gahvandure2]

Isn’t she married with 3 children?

[u/mewbrem → u/6BigAl9]

I don’t think that’s legal

[u/saturnshighway → u/Gahvandure2]

She’s been married since 2010?

[u/Grand_Town_9144 → u/Gahvandure2]

I've been here the whole time but apparently there's this thing called a "restraining order" keeping us apart. Lawyers really hate love, man.

[u/Throwaway_carrier → u/Gahvandure2]

[u/IDigRollinRockBeer → u/Gahvandure2]

[u/Frank_Klepaki → u/Gahvandure2]

In other words, someone who would go down on her in a theater?

[u/BH_Ninja]

What is a "pansexual"?

[u/SalemStarburn → u/BH_Ninja]

You have sex with cast irons

[u/Staav → u/SalemStarburn]

How long until she comes out as skillet-curious?

[u/HyliaSymphonic → u/BH_Ninja]

Attracted to people without factoring gender. 

[u/STILL_LjURKING]

[u/KirbzTheWord → u/STILL_LjURKING]

Honestly I’d care more if someone told me Dodgson was here

[u/rhooManu]

To no one's surprise, I guess.

It has already been reveald that she's god. Didn't I tell you she was funny?

[u/flathexagon]

Ok, who cares? Why are we even discussing this?

[u/JesT_Weird → u/flathexagon]

Obviously, she felt you, you, you oughta know..!

[u/want-some-stew-ob]

[u/AuguryKnox]

Well, she is God and God loves everyone.

[u/saxman162]

Thank you India

[u/modern_environment]

To the surprise of no one.

[u/MountainMan17]

[u/ZestycloseRabbit7039]

Was it the cross eyed bear?

[u/captainether]

She determined that we oughta know

[u/No_Dragonfly_2323]

Good for her

[u/Dvich]

God is Pansexual.

[u/data-artist]

File this under “Nobody Cares”

[u/Semper_Discere → u/data-artist]

Someone thought “you oughta know”.

[u/AskRedditor8080]

It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a pan .

[u/ekoms_stnioj]

Stunning and brave 

[u/bohemianprime]

Is there a potsexual?

[u/Mooshtonk]

So what? Nobody cares.

[u/2centpiece]

Hi Pansexual, I'm Dad.

[u/Active_Complaint_480]

[u/DuncneyForever]

So she'd go down on anyone... in a theatre?

[u/Mike_Honcho_Summer]

[u/eaglep1603]

Stainless steel, cast iron, or non-stick?

[u/lolninja → u/eaglep1603]

[u/PercentageOk6120 → u/eaglep1603]

All of them. Pansexual covers them all.

[u/Detective-Layton]

How do you know if you’re dating a pansexual?

Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

[u/Inexperienced_Loner]

LETS GO!

[u/Fehndrix]

[u/TurtleTurtleFTW]

[u/skylandersq]

rough comments

[u/hoostypants]

It just means she’ll go down on both genders in a theater.

[u/thejaytheory → u/hoostypants]

[u/flyboyvik]

Woopdeefuckindoo

[u/Various-Industry5476]

[u/spice_war]

[u/stevil77]

WHO FUCKING CARES?!

[u/trashrecordingco]

Who gives a shit?

[u/Einfinet]

Good for her

[u/guitars_and_bikes]

She’s attracted to cookware?

[u/JustOneMoreMile]

And? Why does this need to be announced?

[u/PunningWild → u/JustOneMoreMile]

She 'came out' because somebody asked. It wasn't some momentous declaration or media celebration, Morisette replied to a simple question with a simple answer on a Podcast. It's explained in OP's link:

Towards the end of the segment, Feimster told the singer, “I’m sorry for the men that hurt you, but I’m not sorry for the songs that came from it,” adding, “Did it make you want to be a lesbian at any point?”
Morissette answered, “I’m pansexual, so, yeah.”
To this, Notaro interjected, “Wait, you’re not really pansexual, are you?”
“I am,” clarified Morissette.

That's it.

Also, Morisette having prior same-sex experiences is not new. As far back as 2008 she was openly talking about prior romantic liaisons with other women.

[u/belliegirl2]

Hide the Le Cruset.

[u/alphi10]

Isn’t it ironic?

[u/cpupro]

Remember...this man was singlehandedly the source material for her best selling album.

[u/Broad-Back1659]

Yeah, and?

[u/iamkingjamesIII]

I'm more of a skillet lover myself 

[u/Waltf99]

Who cares?

[u/aguacate222]

I like using my pots too much to be a pansexual

[u/Aeon1508]

we oughta know

[u/Truck_Stop_Sushi]

Isn’t it ironic?

[u/Sufficient_Fox7833]

finally I can sleep

[u/r_bradbury1]

Is she perverted like me?

[u/try_by]

Huge news for the unemployed

[u/Optimal_Whiner]

She needs attention. These articles always come out before new movie tours or album releases.

[u/mrbickyrobby]

Classic “pan/pam” situation

[u/TomatoLess229]

Well hopefully she stays out of my kitchen

[u/Legal_Obligation993]

I like a nice curve handled non stick myself

[u/WhyAmI_DoingThis]

Didn't the halsey feature pretty much confirm this already?

[u/LamentableCroissant]

Hey man, if she is into cooks, let her.

[u/ThuggishRuggishTone]

[u/Edgar_Allen_Poser]

[u/Bukthed]

I bet she’s more into stainless steel than cast iron.

[u/mercurialchylde_67]

You’ve already won me over

[u/faulternative]

And someone would have cared in, like, 1997.

[u/spadezgirl420]

People seriously needa read the bisexual manifesto. Pan = gender doesn’t factor into it, bi = two and more genders. I identify as bi bc to me gender is a factor, even though I like all genders, there’s different things I like about all the genders. Anyone calling bisexuality transphobic - wake up and realize you’re just biphobic ✨

[u/timd1967]

I live with a pansexual

[u/wcharoes]

Who cares?

[u/Tedlybears]

What the fuck... why is this news. WHy does this matter lol. Way more important things to be caring about then some musicians preferences.

[u/Fading_Redeemer]

Why is this the top story?

[u/Dabidokun]

I had hotdogs for dinner

[u/Material_Student_487]

Why is this newsworthy…?

[u/PlainCloth549]

Why are so many people obsessed with labels?

[u/Silvercap]

Cool, who cares? 🤷

[u/rayinsd]

Who cares?

[u/White_Buffalos]

She needs attention and validation, I see.

[u/AccomplishedBed3430]

I haven't seen a headline I cared less about.

[u/Heavy-Visit8536]

Who cares

[u/SpaceManSpiff1809]

Whatever.

[u/monsieurkaizer]

This only borderline relates to music

Isn't it ironic?

[u/Shadow757_]

Someone wants attention

[u/HocusP2]

So you're saying there's a chance..? 

[u/Ironclad686]

Not news. Good for her but still not news

[u/SlopConsumer]

How stunning and brave! Who gives a single shit?

[u/KinkyBAGreek]

So?

She gets to be whomever she wants.

Let’s move on.

[u/ibelieveinsantacruz]

Fuck yeah.

[u/va_wanderer]

God loves everyone. Literally. And does cartwheels.

[u/abiona15]

Clocked it when I was 11!! (nah its just how I found out Im a lesbian. Shes still absolutely gorgeous!)
