So, the law against wearing a postal delivery worker uniform unless you are one actually makes a lot of sense. Having briefly worked as a delivery person (UPS, not USPS), they are serious about the uniform because people will let you in to a surprising number of places if you are holding a box and wearing a delivery person uniform. This innocent social tendency could very easily be misused with criminal intent, and so it makes some sense to regulate that unless the government is actually paying you to deliver the mail, you can't go around looking like that's what you're doing

[@DirtyDishSoap]

It took several cases of people taking advantage of service uniforms to make it a federal crime as well. A lot of laws I'm seeing that are "weird" are more about common sense, but people seem to try and take advantage of whatever they can, so these "weird" laws exist, because some idiot(s) abused it in the past.

Yeah, I'm guessing anyone who is at a place to do something illegal isn't worried whether it's legal for them to wear a postal workers uniform or not. I believe it's illegal to wear a disguise or misrepresent yourself in any way for the purpose of committing a crime, for example you can't show fake ID that says you work for someone you don't to gain access to somewhere or wear the uniform such as the gas company, cable company, pest control etc.

The "love" thing actually makes sense to me. Sure, putting "love" as an ingredient is pretty harmless and no one would take it seriously, but listing ingredients accurately is a really important legal issue. And if people can put "love" as an ingredient, I'm certain less than scrupulous companies will be happy to push the boundaries and list other abstract concepts that can be misleading such as "positive energy" and it can very quickly turn into things that sound like ingredients but are just corporate buzzwords.

Not to mention allergy issues. As a person with multiple food allergies, having food labels be both accurate and precise is actually really damn important to me, and literal life or death to some of my loved ones. While "love" is obviously just a cutesy joke, ingredient lists being clear, accurate and precise is a disability issue. Imagine if an emergency broadcast system just started playing random pop songs with no explanation.

Exactly it sounds silly but cloud seeding is potentially very harmful-- rain is vitally important and the air only has so much moisture in it, if you make it rain one place, it will NOT RAIN someplace else, the place it would have otherwise rained. Allowing people to do that willy-nilly would result in "cloud wars" where people seed clouds and cause rain, leading to droughts elsewhere. Farmers would be constantly struggling to buy plots of land upwind of their business rivals and rob them of critical moisture, meaning that those farmers would them have to rely on irrigation and strain local aquifers which would also be robbed of rain.
