I think part of that was because people would buy/fish salmon and then nail them to door and stuff as pranks or as a result of one person feeling wronged by another. this is all fine and all until the person that they nailed the door to was away for a few days and coming back to a fish nailed to the door that is at some part rotting.

The bear law in alaska mostly has to do with their hibernation cycles. I remember learning about it when growing up there. Apparently photographers and tourists were messing with bears in hibernation just for a dumb photo, which really messes with the animals and can cause problems if anyone happens to live near their location. There's a ton of forests along populated neighborhoods throughout major towns and cities, and it's not uncommon to see the bears roaming around from time to time without having pissed them off. They added more to the "take" definition to make sure no one could mess with them anymore.

If I’m not mistaken, cannibalism isn’t technically illegal in the United States, but it's nearly impossible to get human meat legally. It's so if you're in a life or death situation and need to eat someone to survive, you won’t get in legal trouble for it.

The exception is Idaho, which is actually their weird law. Even in a life or death situation you cannot cannibalize.

I see Dunkin' is on Maine Route 4, and just 1500' ahead is a crossing of the Salmon Falls R. into New Hampshire. Therefore chances are good this is a Federal Aid Primary Route, and under federal jurisdiction.

By disguising it as "oh well give you this blood test to test for VDs" it was mostly to prevent minorities from marrying.

As a researcher, I felt that ending statement. The absolute worst part about it is that I triple check my sources before putting anything down in research papers or lessons, and I've still been proven wrong on a few occasions by experts in the field, even on occasions where I only used resources from experts! False information is not only spread on the "casual" internet or newspapers but in scientific journals and research papers as well, and it's not uncommon, either! Every year that passes, it becomes harder and harder to verify information, and AI will only make matters worse. This is largely why we're in the state that we're in-nobody can verifiably believe anything, so everyone has to be absolutely "sure" of what they know, which obviously spreads more misinformation and disinformation than actual fact! It's not just that people don't research (though this is largely true, especially of media), it's that it's constantly getting harder and harder to research! When comedians speak more truth than schools and cited sources alike, you know it's time to do something about it.

So fun fact about the MA golf ball law: This wasn't a no fun allowed law to stop some prankster or really creative assassin, but because golf balls used to be filled with liquid cores as part of manufacture, and the internals were not the safest of fluids. The law was passed because occasionally, these balls would break and people would be injured, particularly in the eyes from acids, so it was better to make a law that prevents all caustic or explosive materials in golf ball manufacture.

[@MrMelonMan647]

[@amburrito3242]

So THATS why the golf balls exploded in that one Tom and Jerry episode

[@MiddlePath007]

Wouldn't that exclude all golf balls? The liquid core balls would explode in the same circumstances as a wound core ball or a solid (prank explosion ball) ball? Impact will trigger an explosion on all three, the only difference being the force needed. The wound ball and liquid core ball would both explode if the coating was cut apart. The only one that wouldn't explode is the one marketed as explosive, those are just filled with powder, or are compressed powder. Then cutting it would just spill dust

That sort of leans into Constitutional rights. According to the existing amendments, the right to vote can't be denied based on race or gender, and there cannot be a tax that must be paid to be able to vote. The 1960s voting laws were only put in place to ensure African Americans aren't denied the right to vote. As far as I know, the capability of mentally disabled people was never ensured.

[@MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

​​@@verylostdoommarauder it's better to say Black since not all Black people are of African descent. You can also be African and not even remotely black.

The rule about ducks in Kentucky applies to most livestock. Rabbit, chickens, and water fowl must be bought in lots of 6-7 at minimum. Animals like goats an sheep don’t have to be bought in lots of two but I believe they have to be kept within lots of atleast 2. I had this issue at a tractor supply store when I was trying to get a Peking duckling to raise up and put in a neighborhood pond with a single Peking in it.

[@CatLover-lk9gz]

Was it specified as to why this is? If not, my best guess is that most of those livestock are social animals. And thus it would be cruel and/or abusive to keep them in too small a number.

[@thecactusman17]

​@@CatLover-lk9gz It's to prevent people from raising and abandoning them as pets. A duckling or baby rabbit is adorable but eventually the cute stage ends and they have to be raised as an adult. Livestock are typically not bred to function as pets and families will abandon them in the wild where they are suddenly either passing unnatural disease vectors to wildlife as prey or outcompeting the natural wildlife as invasive species.

A peculiar incident that might be worth making a short video on is the Butte Montana explosion. A fire broke out at a warehouse, and the fire brigade went to put it out. The company that owned the warehouse were illegally storing explosives inside and had them hidden behind iron plates; when it detonated it basically turned into a massive frag grenade and killed nearly the entire fire department (the only survivor was shielded by a horse, but was gravely injured). The explosion lit other warehouses on fire, where other companies were also illegally storing explosives. With the entire fire department dead or incapacitated, the city was basically SOL.
