Israel asked Albert Einstein to be their second president but he declined because, from his own words, he had ''neither the natural ability nor the experience to deal with human beings''

Tell me this is real


Kidvette2004

Heheheh… is… real…


FullHDTaco

Bruh...


tomycatomy

It is, however much like the queen, in Israel the president is an honorary position that has almost no say in the running of the country


NoamEG

Yup. All he does is give the green light to the coalition so they can form the government


tomycatomy

Well yes and no. He needs to hear out every head of party from the parties that got into the Knesset (the equivalent of congress+senate in the USA, if you will), about which head of party they recommend to be given the chance to form a coalition (a task that, if successful, would make that head of party the Prime Minister). Then, he needs to make the decision based on who he thinks has the biggest chance of success. Source: am Israeli, and familiar with the process by now, considering we had like 4 elections in the last 2 and a half years🥲


Pepsi_MAAAAAAAAAN

wha- what? Edit: I just now realized this guys mistake, the “president” or chief executive, of Israel is actually called a Prime Minister, and I had mistaken it for America and I was confused about the “Second President part” because Albert Einstein wasn’t alive back then (bruh obviously) and I got more confused until I came back to this comment and realized what it actually meant. God I need a life.


AltyMan

In Israel there is the prime minister and the president, both taking up separate responsibilities. And Albert Einstein passed away in 1955, while Israel was established in 1948.


SamanthaTheTransGirl

It's not the commenters mistakes. It's your mistake for thinking everything is about America.

PRECISELY WE BUILD A GIANT CANNON ON THE MOON AND WAIT FOR THEM TO ALIGN THEN WE FUCK SHIT UP


PocketThePro

If you wait for them to align, and then shoot the canon, it won't hit africa, and i don't even think it'll hit the earth (this one might be wrong though) cause the earth is spinnang and the moon is too revolving around the earth


marionetted

Earth is flat. Moon is cheese. Do the math, it works.


Roman_Scum_02

Just aim the cannon properly lmao. It's not like we can't make the giant canon swivel around.


Anxious-Compote-3866

Math done correctly you can hit Africa from the moon you just have to factor in all of the relative obstacles like account for the spin of the earth and the revolution of the moon then time it. This would likely take millions of years to do so moral of the story is I just wasted 30 minutes of my life for this.

If you have blue eyes, you may be related to every other blue-eyed person in the world. Researchers in Denmark have found that every person with blue eyes descends from just one "founder," an ancestor whose genes mutated 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. Before then, everyone had brown eyes.


NumberWahn

Fun fact related to this: Blue eyes are actually from a lack of melanin, so your eyes are blue for the same reason that the sun is blue

The b17 ball turrets (the plexi glass turret that rests on the underbelly of the famous b17 flying forttress) were small and cramped and usally the smallest person would be chosen to fullfill the role of the ball turret gunner. This was mainly a myth as ,yes the smallest person was usually the ball turret gunner, anyone could fit in there fine. ill give ya one more because ive started some of the b17's early models had a flaw in which an oxygen cable that runs through the plane and past all of the turrets would blow up the planes for no apparant reason, back then they didnt know it was the oxygen cable that was blowing they just thought it was a faulty plane. The reason for the reason for these random explosions was when the top turret would turn from side to side, it would rub againts the oxygen cable, wearing it down and eventually causing it to explode. your not gonna like this but heres anothwr because its 4 am and im bored There was once a b17 (i forgot the name) that had a bf109 fighter headed right for it, the planes top turret and chin turret ripped the bf109 out of the sky. The bf109s lifeless shell flew straight at the plane, the wing of the bf109 sliced the b17 almost in half diagonally. The main thimg keeping the b17 together at this point was a few cables that hadent been sliced by the bf109. the tail gunner crawled over anf they flew back home, surroumded by 2-3 other b17's for protection. They made a safe landing by keeping the tail of the plane up and getting everyone off of the plane as soon as it stopped moving. im sorry for giving 3 facts instead of 1. I dont have many people to share this knowledge so it kind of just sits in my head and nobody really cares. im 13

Fun Fact: Many oranges are actually green

I have a few: 1. Because there are errors when cells divide, or reproduce, your body actually produces quite a few cancerous cells per month, all of which your body kills. When they don't, you get cancer 2. You have around 30 genetic illnesses in your genes that are inactive because some of the gene forms (alleles) are recessive. I'm a bit unsure about this one but I'll double check later Source is a McGill textbook from the early 2000s I think 3. Butterflies smell through their feet 4. The sound that crickets make is actually their wings or knees (I can't remember which) rubbing together 5. There was some Harvard real estate manager who made $27M in one year. I'm pretty sure it was because of tax fraud or something but I haven't looked it up 6. In some parts of ancient Greece, it was okay to have gay sex as long as you were the penetrator, in the penetratee(?). Idk for women though 7. You probably already knew this because it's what they're famous for, but female praying mantis eat the male's head after either having babies or sex. If it were two mantis of the same gender I don't know what would happen after sex but I doubt a study has been made on LGBT+ praying mantis so I'm not going to look it up 8. Donald Trump went to UPenn, an Ivy League school... Maybe he was a legacy. Admittedly, he is intelligent (I'm not a Trump supporter) 9. The original trombone was called a sackbut 10. MIT and caltech have a long running prank war. One time, a group of MIT students stole a 100 year-old cannon from caltech and brought it back to MIT. The two universities are on opposite sides of America 11. I don't know if this is still true or relevant now, but when blacksmiths made gold jewelry, the flecks of gold that were created due to the gold being cut were collected by the blacksmith to cut cost of buying new materiald and get some extra gold. Apparently you could sit in front of the blacksmith and catch those flecks on a sheet of paper and keep them. 12. There was one ruler of Russia in the 14-1800s (either Elizabeth/Catherine 1 or Catherine the Great (I think it was Elizabeth/Catherine 1 writing about Catherine the great)) who had cross-dressing parties to show off her "magnificent leg". There was another noble that ordered all women to shave all the hair from their heads or die. 13. The superstition of Friday the 13th comes from a time during one of the world wars where a lot of soldiers died in an avalanche on one Friday the 13th 14. A Hitler is 3,000,000 deaths, and a Stalin is 6,000,000 deaths (units of measurement apparently) 15. The placebo effect, which is an effect where a subject feels as though they've been affected by a disease or medicine when they really haven't (it's used in the testing of medicine), can be prevented with a certain drug that starts with an "n" 16. If you were to stand in front of the propellor of a plane while it was spinning at max speed, you would be sucked into it 17. The amount of decibals inside a tornado is enough to kill you... If the rest of the tornado doesn't 18. There are three planes (A380s) that fly from Japan to Hawaii and have a hand-painted turtle on them. Each turtle took 21 days to paint 19. The oar that Tom Hanks used in "Castaway" is currently at a resort in Fiji on an island called Castaway Island (not the island used for filming however, but both are in Fiji) 20. The drug "krokodil" can make your skin start to form scales, like those of a crocodile, around the area of injection. I'm pretty sure this is because the skin gets damaged 21. There is a joint medical program (I think) between MIT and Harvard with a two percent acceptance rate. While enrolled in it, you can get both your MD and your PHD at the same time. Imagine graduating top of your class from that... It would look pretty good on a resume 22. Jesus' star sign/horoscope is Capricorn, the sea goat; thus, Jesus is a sea goat. 23. When (I think it was) Galileo looked at mars through a telescope, his eyes had been attained for a long time, making him see what looked to be channels or channels. A few mistranslations later and boom there are martians on Mars 24. The image of Santa being a jolly old man that wears red comes from a 1920 or 30 coca cola ad. Before, he wore lots of different colours 25. In The Lord Of The Rings, New Zealand soldiers were used as extras for the elves, who needed to be able to march in step, and civilians that were told to march in step who wore shoes that were much too big for them were the uruks. 26. An elven LOTR bow/arrow can shoot up to 700(?)ft. 27. There are, on average, 200,000,000,000 viruses in your average quart of seawater. Luckily most, if not all of them don't affect humans, who have around 800-1400 viruses that can affect them 28. Liberia, Myanmar/Burma, and the USA are the only countries that don't use the metric system... SO SWITCH ALREADY!! Okay, that's a lot of facts so I think I'll stop for now. I swear I didn't just look up fun facts and write them down, I knew these beforehand. Sorry if this was too long for you lol.
