With the kite soaring into the turbulent sky, Franklin watched closely. The loose fibers along the wet hemp string began standing on end—a telltale sign of electrical charge. He brought his knuckle near the metal key tied to the string... and felt the sharp spark he'd anticipated. The Leyden jar he held soon filled “copiously” with what Priestley called “electric fire.”
This breakthrough proved lightning was electrical in nature, paving the way for Franklin's practical invention: the lightning rod. By the following year, 1753, pointed metal rods began appearing on buildings, safely channeling lightning's power into the ground and sparing structures from devastating strikes.
A bold, risky moment of curiosity that changed how we protect ourselves from the sky's fury.

The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial - In 1781, Benjamin Franklin published a letter titled "To the Royal Academy of Brussels," where he proposed that scientists study how to make farts smell better.
He wrote it under the pseudonym "Fart-Hing”.
No, I would not joke about something like this.

The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial - Ben Franklin once took out an ad in a rival paper claiming to be a woman selling her husband’s “services” because he was too old to work. It caused quite a stir, as you can imagine. Ben Franklin did it solely as a shitpost for his own enjoyment.
He would have loved X.

The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial - The founding fathers lived in mortal fear that Ben Franklin, who was assisting Jefferson on the Committee of 5, would write a joke into the Declaration of Independence that they would miss, so when the vote of who would lead the writing came up, they largely voted Jefferson.
