A simple thought experiment to explain the process behind the electoral college
You and two friends decide to go out to eat for lunch, only one of you brought a card so you all agree to venmo the one who brought it after you eat as none of you brought any cash either.
You want to get some pizza, and your two friends want to eat human shit sandwiches, you decide to put it to a democratic vote because that’s obviously the most fair right?
You obviously lose and you have to eat the shit sandwich, sucks doesn’t it?
How could this have been avoided?
Simple, you make your vote worth 2, this forces an even tie and forces the shit sandwich twins (you should probably stop hanging out with them btw) to compromise, you all end up agreeing on burgers and you eat in relative peace
Now apply this logic to the electoral college, and you understand why the Montana Wheat farmer or the Wyoming cattle rancher’s state gets to have as much of a say as California or New York

Get the Shit Sandwich Theory mug.An ancient and outdated medicine theory that states that a being's health is maintained through a balance of four bodily fluids, and an imbalance of such cause diseases. This theory heavily implies that such fluids regulate personalities, and is the basis of the four temperaments (Choleric, Melancholic, Phlegmatic, Sanguine).
The four bodily fluids are composed of:
- Blood, which causes sociable, extroverted, and comedic personality. See Sanguine
- Phlegm (Pus, Mucus, Saliva, Sweat), which causes reserved and introverted personality. See Phlegmatic
- Black Bile (Spleen, Cancer), which causes sad and depressed personality. See Melancholic
- Yellow Bile (Gallbladder, Vomit, Feces), which causes short-tempered, ambitious, and aggressive personality. See Choleric
Therefore, to combat diseases, one must get rid of excess humor, such as bloodletting. Temperature and humidity of the body such as Hot, Cold, Dry, and Wet are implied to be the balancing of humors. Hence, some might believe that this theory is the earliest attempt to understand Homeostasis, the regulation of biological mechanism. Originating from Ancient Greek thinkers and possibly spread as far into China, this theory persisted well into the 19th Century, in which Germ Theory becomes the foundation of modern medicine and discarded this 2300-years old theory.

Get the Marshall's Theory mug.Infant electro shock weapon theory is the theory that you can get an infant to change their dominant hand by using an electro shock weapon on them when ever they use their dominant hand. Insides the mind of a baby the baby correlates using their right hand (the majority of the population is right handed) with pain so they don't use it any more. This is also sort of like reinforcement learning in computer science.
