Correlation is not causation. It's like blaming Christianity for all the cocaine that comes out of Colombia.

You mean jesus dust?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb

Don't they sprinkle that on the Jesus crackers at mass?

That's why all the churchgoers drive like assholes when leaving the parking lot! They are coked out of their minds.

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 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!
