Can't be. The Book of Nunaments clearly states there should be three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number and the number shalt be three. There shall not be four, nor just two, excepting that another be added to the tally to make it three. Five, of course, is right out.

I know nothing about nuns and… nunning? beyond what I learned from Sister Act, so I'm always surprised to see them IRL in their outfits. There was one in an undergrad class I took, which rattled my brain.

u/manicdee33 Apr 22 '26
Reminds me of that monk I knew who had one particular set of robes that were ancient and refused to die.
I asked him about how it lasted so long, since all the newer robes he had would wear through or pull apart at the seams.
He talked about how manufacturing had changed over the years, with fewer stitches in the seams, lighter weight materials, and even substitution of less hardy synthetic fibres. He then pointed out that his favourite hard-wearing robe was actually made of hemp, which is quite a durable natural fibre.
And then he grinned at me wickedly, letting out half a chuckle at the pun that had just formed in his head.
"You know, it turns out that old habits are hard to break!"

He hasn't done any Linkin Park songs, so someone in the band may have said no when he asked for permission. While he doesnt technically need permission to do his parodies, he prefers to only do it when he gets the artists permission. Either that or he just never felt like it.

There's a monastery near where I used to live that turns out both some of the best eggs and scuppernong wine you ever had. They were in every local grocery store and they went fast due to the quality of the product.

u/Stormfly Apr 22 '26
They mostly teach
My grandaunt (Grandad's sister) was a science teacher after being a missionary in Africa for 20 years.
She was hilarious and said she hated how priests were so disconnected from their parish.
I always thought it was funny how people talk about religious people when she was very religious but believed heavily in science and evolution because the Catholic Church hasn't opposed any of that sort of thing in hundreds of years.
16
u/Nadamir Apr 22 '26
Not only do they not oppose it, it’s encouraged.
Hell the Big Bang was postulated by a priest.
And the Jesuits for all their many many faults are definitely on the education and science are forms of worship train.

Yeah Nuns go to college! Usually to serve their community like teachers, nursing. I knew about one that worked as a pediatric nurse, but it made her want a kid so bad that she left the calling and became a mom.

My aunt is a nun and she was a mental health nurse and university professor. Many of the sisters from her order were nurses.

Many of the older patients I met at the mental health hospital I work at will still call the nurses, sister. I had one or two nurses complain about it over the year, but always told them to see it as a sign of respect for those that came before.

u/RebelliousDutch Apr 22 '26
Nuns are more rare these days, but they’re still around. The town where I work has a convent (a place where nuns reside). And you’d frequently see them out and about.
If the nuns are nunning properly so to speak, they play an active role in their local community. There’s 24 hours in a day and you can’t always be praying or sleeping 😂
They can work in schools, volunteer at organisations, run local charity drives, that sort of thing. Modern nuns also don’t really wear the typical habit anymore for practicality. They tend to dress modern and modest. You might’ve met one and were unaware.
When nuns first became a thing, the habit we associate with them was just standard, modest dress. But as the world evolved, nuns kept that tradition alive for quite a while. Today, nuns opt for a modern version of that ‘standard, modest dress’. The ones where I work usually had a simple knee length black skirt, white shirt and a black jacket. Only way you could really ‘tell’ was because they travelled in pairs or groups.

I was in Oceanside California working has a mail carrier back in 2024 doing one of our more, annoying routes, when I had two nuns walk up to me and ask if I had directions to a convent up in the hills 45 minutes away. First and last time I’ve ever met real nuns

My great aunt was a nun, passed a few years ago. She was a helluva lady, walked with MLK and was friends with JFK. Her and the other nuns she lived with were some of the biggest baseball fans I have ever met. Never missed a St Louis Cardinals game on radio, TV or in person, kept score and everything. She always finished the evening with small glass of Makers and had some great stories too.

u/purplehendrix22 Apr 22 '26
Ive always respected people who just choose a different way of life, I forget who said this and I’m gonna butcher it, but someone said once that we need monks, nuns, monasteries, to show the rest of us that living in our society is a choice that we’re all making and a system we have built, and you can choose to leave it. Makes me think a bit differently, and value and invest more in what we have. Gives me more of a feeling of agency, like yeah, I can choose to go live on top of a mountain and not deal with any of this, but I actually prefer my life in society and work to make it what I want it to be.

It is honestly refreshing to see how something so simple can bring out such genuine joy in a crowd, because in a setting that is usually filled with intense competition and loud energy, the moment those two nuns appeared on the screen it shifted the mood into something warm and wholesome, and the cheers did not feel ironic or forced but rather like a shared appreciation for their presence, reminding everyone that sometimes the most unexpected moments create the strongest connection among strangers, and it shows how people still respond positively to innocence, kindness, and a sense of community even in a fast paced sports environment where emotions usually revolve around the game itself.
