"It isn't an act of kindness, that's a hostage situation" That had me laughing so hard

[@soulslayer101barkandzion7]

I actually agree with this. It's absolutely hilarious to think that we owe villagers any kindness other than exchanging goods with them for whatever epic trades they so happen to have (in the form of enchanted armor and/or weapons) or just normal supplies we would've gotten over hours of mining for those resources, such as quartz. I mean, Minecraft is a literal sandbox game where a lot of people use for different adventures. When did the law against kidnapping apply to Minecraft villagers anyway? We're technically not kidnapping them. In most cases, we're just taking them to a new home.

I saw the Colorado weather law a few years ago, and IIRC, it was because some people were claiming they could manipulate the weather, and were scamming people by saying they'd make it rain for crops for a cost. Since it's pretty hard to prove that someone can't control the weather (at least legally speaking at the time), they just made it illegal to do so without a permit, and never gave permits.

[@Its-Rolo]

Lmao thank you

[@ktgaming2266]

I seem to recall something similar, though I don't know for certain if it was colorado or not. There was a man who claimed he could create rain, and so a town hired him. He set up a water tower on a hill nearby with a whole bunch of chemicals that may or may not have actually done anything, and then it rained and flooded the town. It was on the White Rabbit Project, by the people that did the side myths on mythbusters

The whole vandalism charge for freeing allays would probably not hold up in any court since you were freeing someone from wrongful imprisonment. Even if you do get the charge for vandalism when trying and succeeding in freeing someone wrongfully imprisoned who also was probably kidnapped, I think telling the media the context would get enough public hatred on the court to where they would drop the charge.

[@thebeaniestbeaninallthelands]

8:41 My hypothesis for why this is a law is because, back in the days, purple was a VERY hard colour to get your hands on. It was almost exclusively for royalty, that’s how hard it was to get. Now, what I think is going in is that either… A: The law is trying to make sure that people don’t use use purple willy nilly and disrespect the royalty of the olden days, or… B: The law is trying to respect that purple was very hard to get way back when. But how am I supposed to know? I’m still *legally* a child and live in the UK.

In most US states the act of cannibalism is not illegal. Its the method of obtaining human flesh that is illegal. If you had a body part amputated, theoretically, you could take the amputated limb back home with you and eat it.

For number 38, as someone who has lived my entire life in Utah, I have never heard of this law. Besides, what about lactose intolerant people? What do they do? Does the law include other types of milk like almond milk? This makes absolutely no sense to me, and I’ve never even heard of it.

[@taylorllewelyn]

Same

[@phierophreek9088]

After reading through the whole excerpt of the law that is shown in the video, the law doesn’t have anything to do with drinking milk, it’s about discriminatory pricing. It says you can charge town A a higher price than town B, but only if the price is higher due to increased transportation cost, storage cost, etc. If it costs you the same amount to produce, store, and move your dairy product in 2 different towns, you have to charge customers in both towns the same price.

From what they showed about the law, it seems its not illegal to not buy milk, but if one IS buying milk to resell it, it is illegal to discriminate in said buying for ANY reason.

You don't have to be reselling it, you just have to be the entity buying the most in your area
