Sounds like you guys have the more exciting side of 40k in your lives.

I've disappeared people, purging any trace of their transgressions from public records lest their blasphemies be known...
by photoshopping them out of photos shared on social media so their partner wouldn't get mad at them.

and praying over PCs I've built, but who doesn't do that?

A toss up of using some torpedoes as a ladder or sleeping in a silo used to fire nuclear capable missiles (someone got fined millions for allowing that level of access to them )
Heck, all the weird places I have slept would be straight out of Necromunda...

Can't say I've ever heard of the latter. Just building them naked to 'prevent static electricity.'

Fought off the Ruinous Powers, who were mutating and turning the cells of my body against me.

I liked the snippet of info that came back from a dismantled FOB. For years the firestep had been made out of boxes, several containing (unknown to the builders) pristine Javelins.

When I suggested we should have a Librarian after the new boss says we're going to try something new.

Piling up human skulls as an offering to the Skull Throne is pretty 40k right?

Okay, actually I was just piling them up in crates for transport to the archaeological depot. But still. Filling a van with skulls is pretty 40k.

I also pray to the Machine Spirit every now and then. But let's be honest, who doesn't?

I've been hit in the face by a flying shoe accidentally kicked off the foot of a stepsibling on higher ground.

And prayed to the Machine God, of course.

When they say we're winning at work with fail all around us.

I think of Victory.

That is what the preachers cry from the spires of their temples.

What commanders tell their soliders in their service.

I've burned incenses at work while troubleshooting a customer's platform... workmates were good sports and were praising the Omnissiah when everything was solved

As so far the only Dakkanaut I’m aware to hold a legitimate Inquisitorial Mandate?

Is your faith………..lacking????

Today, a small delivery of planks was urgently needed by a friend's siblings. Signal disturbance during a phone call with a reluctant brother left me with the impression that no truck was available anytime soon.

No truck? Fine, I'll do it myself.

What followed were Vietnamese logistics in action here in Sweden. I biked 5 km to the carpentry warehouse, strapped on the planks on my bike and led it on foot for 8-9 km to the destination. The walk took 2 hours and 15 minutes in beautiful evening weather with almost empty roads.

Tips: Bring plenty of extra duct tape, and be very careful with the top-heavy load if you ever attempt this stunt. And be extremely careful in turns and traffic. Plan your route with care.

This is the most 40k civilian thing I've ever done.

Well, I archivated bones (including skulls) kinda like this guy:



It was the unsorted collection of the local university mostly from a former graveyard of a nearby village. It was a nasty imagination how people back then lived with grown-together vertebral bodies (some had sail-like growths on it too) and abrased dental enamel (and sometimes even jawbone).

Oh, random but probably not that uncommon one?

I did a sort of Exterminatus on an Ant nest under my then family home. Basically dug out all Mum and Dad’s old kettles from the attic. Filled them, boiled them, and just kept on pouring. Pouring and pouring and pouring.

Wait. Maybe I should’ve called that………ExterimANTus.

Never miss a pun, folks. Never miss a pun.

I saw a guy in CVS rip large patches of skin off of his face and eat it. It was like he didn’t feel it. Reminded me of a zombie.

Training. One of my guys didn't want to cross the training village's alley. I barked at him and kicked him onwards like a true commissar would.

I'm normally super calm but when training starts I'm in to win, and get somewhat... Enthusiastic.

LoL..refraining from sharing laughs of Military training moments

We'd risk going out of topic but please, don't refrain
