  • Nah its cool factorio guy doesn’t HAVE to leave.

    No pollution, no biters.

    Very doable.

    Just find an island, 100 stone for 2 landfill, and get to the island by picking up a landfill behind you and placing it in front of you.

    You have eternity, so take trips off your island to mine things by hand, craft things by hand, etc.

    Eternity awaits.



  • Nah its actually what granted citizenship.

    Property isn’t a citizen, and freeing the slaves didn’t make them citizens.

    Before this amendment, the supreme court had ruled that black people “were never intended” to be citizens under the constitution.

    During the rebuilding of the US after the civil war, this got added, so that that nonsense ruling (which was argued against, even then, since there was no such phrasing in the constitution) had no power. Instead, being born in the US was enough, which was true for basically every freed slave at that point in history.

    So they were officially not citizens, in the whole nation, just before the civil war. Then they were freed by the 13th amendment, and made citizens in this one, and then the 15th protected the right to vote regardless of race or other things.
