Fox's Law

This law states that, in any given political debate, the likelihood that one participant will refer to another as unamerican increases as said participant runs out of valid arguments.

Named for Fox News.

Fox's Law in action:

Person A: "I disagree with the war in Iraq and would like our troops to come home."
Person B: "That's unamerican!"

Person C: "I think everyone should have access to affordable medical care."
Person D: "That's unamerican!"

Fox's law

Like godwin's law but pertaining to biscuits - a favourite conversation topic amongst brits on Internet forums - especially once a thread has served its purpose or the original poster has made things awkward, someone (usually sarcastic) will eventually mention biscuits to diffuse and/or derail the thread.

Some squid asked a question on the motorbike forum about cleaning his carburetor - we pointed out that his 2019 lexmoto is electronically injected, he got angry. Next post was a question about whether you should dunk a custard cream or not. Fox's law.

Fox's Law

As an online discussion between furries grows longer, the probability of someone asking about role-playing approaches 1.

There it is Fox's law in action, in under 10 minutes of encountering another furry they've asked about role-playing.
