TIL that Ohio is a major importer of radioactive fracking wastewater. Contaminated water gets pumped underground but doesn’t always stay there. Local communities are not notified

    Ohio voters have voted for a Republican trifecta 21 of the last 25 years and Republicans have no problem at all allowing the general population to be poisoned. If there’s money involved they’d be all for it.

    Ohioans are having the day they voted for and they deserve it.

      One should never live in a red state if it can be avoided. Sure, you pay less in tax, but you get shit like this. Just feel bad for the kids who don’t know any better and/or don’t have a choice.

    Ah, Marietta. Steeped in American history, this bastion of patriotism is engaging in the most American practice: fucking over the plebeians.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
