It's highly unlikely the witchcraft accusations were caused by ergotism.

It's kinda crazy how easily the ergot theory took over. For 200 years, it was widely accepted that it was a case of mass hysteria, moral panic, and religious extremism. Then someone hypothesized it could be ergotism because the reported symptoms are similar.

And people immediately took it as a fact, because a clear, single cause is much easier to explain.

Y'know, like how they blamed the "witches" for anything bad?

Why didn't anyone else develop ergotism? If their source of rye was contaminated, more people would have fallen ill.

Why did it only affect a handful of adolescent girls, who happened to be friends?

Why did another town 20 miles away have more accusations of witchcraft around the same time?

Why didn't they recognize the symptoms at the time? St Anthony's Fire was well-documented and treatable since the Middle Ages.

In case that other reply has too many big words:

We can't believe someone would be so dumb for free

Bowling for Soup was formed in 1994. The name comes from an old Steve Martin bit, Bowling for Shit. Bowling for Columbine was called that because the Columbine shooters went bowling before the massacre.

Yeah, I don't know if free speech covers this.

We (Allies) never made peace with the Nazis. We crushed their military and hanged any officials that didn't eat cyanide, but there was no treaty or surrender. We didn't even let the Germans govern themselves until we could figure out who wasn't a Nazi.

I would argue that anyone who flies that flag is effectively pledging allegiance to an enemy. And like... The enemy. The guys who industrialized genocide and literally tried to take over the world.

So idk about shooting them if they're just jerking each other off in the street. But I would like to channel Aldo Raine and carve swastikas into their foreheads.

Four of my grandpa's seven siblings died within 10 days from polio, just months before the Salk vaccine.

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

1. Killing members of the group;
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

That's directly from the UNs genocide convention.

There's actually a very simple reason for this phenomenon. A standard spring mattress essentially acts like a giant mirror, reflecting all sorts of radio waves, including your cellular signal. This can cause interference, leading to a dead zone in the near vicinity. The same effect was documented back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

And furthermore, Susan, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes...

It's an article on a fashion site. And it does inform the average person all they really need to know about the strike in two sentences.

If anything, they wrote the article specifically to draw attention to the strike. She's wearing an oversized T-shirt ffs.
