Title: Golems are everywhere
Post by: angryChineseKahanist on May 31, 2021, 04:19:43 AM
From thousands of years ago comes golems.

They show up in a lot of video games.  They usually appear as powerful creatures that are hard to defeat.

It was a mechanical creature animated by some spirit that a Rabbi in the Talmud made and ultimately destroyed.

I got stuck on them golems.
They're pretty popular.   Whether as good guys or as bad guys, they often show up as tough guys.

In modern hebrew to call somebody 'golem' is like to say they're dumb.
