  • Whales suffocate to death; they don’t drown.

    Human breathing is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. We have to hold our breath on purpose to stop ourselves from automatically breathing. This makes us passive breathers. Whales, however, are active breathers. They must choose to inhale which is why they can sleep without sucking in air. When they get too old, sick, or weak to surface, they suffocate.

    Bonus fact: whales can’t breathe through their mouths; it goes straight to the stomach. The blowhole is the only respiratory tract.

    Bonus bonus: a blue whale’s throat is so small it could choke to death on a grapefruit.

    No. Even that limitation is unconstitutional. Look up the actual convictions and appeal rates for them

    The most recent one is just a couple of months old where a guy threatened Kevin McCarthy, the House speaker, over 100 times on the phone and he only got probation because the judge knew the prison sentence wouldn’t withstand appeal.

    I thought you were replying to me at first, but it just reaffirm what I said so now it looks like you were replying to someone else maybe

    The ruling reaffirmed that the government cannot punish speech just because it is offensive or upsetting, reinforcing strong protections for free speech under the First Amendment.

    Is it so hard to believe you think Free speech should be absolute weapon should be unrestricted, abortion should be unrestricted, people should be able to harness electricity from solar and harness rainwater from the sky?

    Because these are all things that are restricted here except for speech, so I am sure as fuck not going to budge on it
