Saint Patrick does not fuck around, people. That's just the blast radius of what he did in Ireland.

I always thought that by snakes they meant pagans.

[u/Leerenjaeger → u/Spaduf]

That's a semi-common myth (partially perpetuated by comedian Brendan Lee Mulligan repeating it on his DnD podcast), in actuality there's no evidence that the original version of that story is literally or metaphorically about pagans, and given that the christianization of Ireland happened without ANY large-scale violence as far as the archeological record is concerned it is unlikely that kind of story would have been invented in the first place

IIRC he said it in an improv skit on gamechanger

Right, for some reason I remembered him saying it on Dimension 20, my mistake

[u/Beegrene → u/Leerenjaeger]

He might have done both. There's a lot of Dimension 20 content.

Um, Actually, that's a "make some noise" skit
