  • TIL May Day, not on the same day as US Labor Day, started "in commemoration of the Haymarket Riot in Chicago (1886)."

  • Nope.

    Ours in Australia predates everyone else’s. And it varies across the country , for example my state holds it on the second Monday of May as thats when the stonemasons celebrated winning the first 8 hour day with no loss of pay in the world.

  • TIL the Haymaker Riots were inspired by Australia

    On 21 April 1856, Australian stonemasons in Victoria undertook a mass stoppage as part of the eight-hour workday movement.[10] It became a yearly commemoration, inspiring American workers to have their first stoppage.[11] 1 May was chosen to be International Workers' Day to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago.[12] In that year beginning on 1 May, there was a general strike for the eight-hour workday.

    Dunno why Google doing it now is suddenly big news?

  • Simpleton, the night sky is full of light. We pollute the skies with light from our cities, the moon reflects sunlight, and the very stars themselves are distant sunlight. This is such a basic fact, i didn’t think anyone could even be this factually incorrect. Do us all a favour and delete your account.
