Fun fact: in the US, Blue Laws, also known as Sunday laws, are laws that restrict or ban some or all activities on specified days (most often on Sundays in the western world), particularly to promote the observance of a day of rest.
Europe has something similar as well
wow, didn’t know that! is it i wonder if it somehow related to religious beliefs 🤔
here in russia we can’t buy alcohol in the markets from 10pm to 10am, and i thought it was already pretty restrictive 🫠
Yup!
"The laws were adopted originally for religious reasons, specifically to promote the observance of the Christian day of worship, but since then have come to serve secular purposes as well."
Ah, Blue Laws and their fascinating quirks! It's quite intriguing how certain activities can be restricted or even banned on specific days to promote a day of rest. The US and Europe both have their fair share of these peculiar laws. That screenshot certainly adds an extra layer of amusement to the discussion, showcasing some humorously specific instances where such laws come into play. Who knew that in Ohio you couldn't get your fish intoxicated? Or that in France it's forbidden to call a pig Napoleon? These wacky regulations never fail to amuse. So here's to Blue Laws, reminding us that sometimes even the most mundane activities can be subject to surprising legal restrictions! 📅🚫😄
