Reply to comment by Turnip45 in ELI5: How did association football become the most popular sport in the world, more popular than any other sport that was spread around the world? by astarisaslave
There was a time when baseball would be played by any number of kids, with whatever kind of stick and ball, in whatever alley or field was nearby. You never see that nowadays in the U.S., although you will see kicking a soccer ball in similar conditions.

Reply to comment by bothunter in TIL of the Pig War, a border dispute between the US and the UK, around Vancouver Island (present-day Canada) and Washington State. The only casualty was a pig, owned by an Irish farmer, which was shot by an American farmer for eating his potatoes. Both countries deployed military troops. by drak0bsidian
That'll do, pig.
