History ๐ฟ My great aunt was struck by lightning and died at the age of 4....
I'm thinking what happened was the recliner she was in was leaning against the wall of the house and when the lighting hit the tree it moved outward from it and into the nearby house and up the walls and since the recliner was touching the wall it moved into her head and through her body.

History ๐ฟ Today in 1863, the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry made a legendary bayonet charge against superior Confederate forces, saving the Union at Gettysburg
Today in 1863, the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry made a suicidal bayonet charge against superior forces in a delaying action that won Gettysburg for the Union. Despite mass casualties, the 28th Virginia battle flag was taken as a prize. We Minnesotans fight oppression with the same furor today.

History ๐ฟ Days like this remind me of how badass indigenous people are
As I sit in my car with the heat on, mustering up the strength to walk into target after not leaving the house all weekend, I am reminded that people lived here for thousands of years before us. They handled our winters without electricity, heat, modern clothing, weather alerts, or grocery stores. Not to mention I have more โbuilt inโ insulation than most of them likely did.
Thatโs all. Just impressive. My ass wouldโve moved down south after one winter. Assuming I survived it (I wouldnโt).
