What was "the Fula playbook", in regards to Thailand's history? As mentioned at 3:43 in this video (timestamp should be included in the link).

Although I imagined their race-based ideology played big part, you put it all in way more clear, concrete terms and made that easily understandable for an uneducated person (like myself). Thanks for explaining!

Was there ever a whole wall of stone on Wall Street?
I'm obviously daft, because I just finished reading the final part of this 5-part article on the history of the wall on Wall Street, and I'm still not sure. The author makes it clear that the final wall had bastions of stone, but what about the rest of the wall? (Originally, the wall was wooden, but it underwent many changes, as mentioned in earlier parts of the article.)

Is there any historical/architectural connection whatsoever between Hotel New Nederland (demolished 1927) and the Plaza Hotel, in NYC? I'm uneducated on the topic, and this is just a personal observation, but I think there is a visual resemblance between the two.

Why was north eastern Europe the geographical goal of Nazi Germany's Lebensraum? Claimed that it was historically lost land of Germans? The fact that it was Slavic land? The sparsely populated areas there?

How were restaurants made "more accessible to the middle class [and not just the wealthy]" after the Great Depression and WW2?
This comment by a deleted account over on Ask Historians mentions that era as the time when France lost ground as the capitol of restaurants and fine dining, while, simultaneously, the restaurant industry in America became more accessible to the middle class.

Definitely seems to be the case! I assumed that you were being sarcastic, but those laws do exist, haha.

It is true, that most of these "SuperFacts" and "Fact of the Day" style accounts post a lot of claims without any source or substance. However, as I mention in my comment on this thread, I checked all the others. And to my surprise, all of them (except for one) are true, no matter how dumd they may seem today.

I have found fact-checking articles on every claim in that image, besides this New Hampshire one. Well, one Daily Beast article makes a mention of that law, but the article is behind paywall.

Interesting. I suppose that might explain the almost extreme abundance of cover versions of old hits, over the last few years, in the EDM community.

Hipgnosis is something I never heard of prior to your comment. Thanks, I'll check it out.

I had a hunch that the answer would be, "It's not entirely black and white", but felt like asking anyway, because I'm not at all operating in the field of law myself. Thanks for explaining and confirming.
