TIL The minimum amount of people needed to populate a space colony with minimum inbreeding would be 160

What they were answering

CyberToyger · -22 points

I wish it WAS possible to toss 100 women and 100 men on separate planets just so everyone can get their heads out of their asses and see your joke for what it is.

Women are emotional and men are aggressive, at their cores. When you have too much of one or the other, bad shit happens.

How silly of me! Of course putting 100 women alone on a planet, artificially inseminating each other, will turn out great!

TIL that in 1916 an amendment was proposed to the Constitution that all acts of war would be put to a national vote. People voting yes would have to register as volunteers for service in the United States Army.

Replying to pocketknifeMT · Why let old people vote on the war decision then? If you are required to serve, then only those eligible should get the vote on that topic.

Because their taxes will also pay for the war. The amendment has to many holes to implement properly.

TIL The world's tallest tree is named Hyperion; it barely escaped logging in the 70's and its exact location is a carefully guarded secret

Replying to Phycoz · Yeah, I don't see anything that really sticks out. Can someone point it out to me?

I think that large artificial cell phone tower is blocking the view.

TIL that marijuana was made illegal in 1937 by man who testified that the drug made white women want to be with black guys

Replying to RandyMachoManSavage · Once you take a hit off a bong, you only want black dong.

Once you've eaten as many frogs as I have, all you want to do is eat more frogs.

TIL that the world's 15 largest shipping vessels produce more air pollution than all of world's 750 million cars.

Replying to Forlarren · Except those engines are some of the best. Not having the best would directly affect the bottom line, so they try to keep them running in tip top shape to save fuel costs.

Best efficiency on fuel use, not on cleanliness of emissions!

TIL That there is a community of 4 inch long amoebas that live in the Marianas trench. They are the largest single celled organisms in the world and are incredibly toxic.

Replying to Watchmaker85 · Would you eat a rectal thermometer? I would.

A whole one is too much for me. I'd taste it though. Maybe you and I could split one. The appetizers are so filling here as it is.
