/u/sunagainstgold's excellent takedown of the "ergot explains it all" nonsense regarding witches. Injecting Science!^tm into pop history, especially primarily involving women, is the perfect storm for your average amateur historian and this is the most informative response against it I've seen yet

Really enjoyed u/DarthNetflix's answer to my https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/7amr7b/why_did_louisiana_adopt_the_napoleonic_code_it/ (if it's ok to promote my own question)

u/gevorest asked Where there any theories on why we sleep in medieval Europe?

u/popeajax asked Why didn't Mexico become a politically stable and successful nation in its early years of independence as the US was, also why did Mexico struggle that much in its creation?

I asked In 1978, Ex-US President Richard Nixon gave a speech at Oxford University which was met with protesters. Was this negative response the norm or an exception for conservative speakers at college campuses around the 1970's-80's? and Was it ever a common opinion among 20th Century American Conservatives to abolish Social Security?

• /u/cleopatra_philopater answering "How much did Ptolemaic Egypt resemble modern colonialism? Is there any way it’s helpful to look at the period this way?" as well as "How accurate is the representation of Egypt in Assassin's Creed Origins?"

• /u/mikedash on "Did the red shield really defraud the UK after the battle of Waterloo?" and "Why did Poland have lower rates of Black Death than other European countries during the 1300s?"

• /u/steelcan909 answered "How in line with Continental trends and fashions was late Anglo-Saxon England?"

/u/AlviseFalier gives a great and thorough answer on the use of vernacular Venetian in Early Modern Italy.

This is from 2 weeks ago, but I thought my question here: How did the first 'wave' of Chinese coolie labourers to the USA/Australia learn about, and decide to, immigrate?

Would've surely had a taker, but it didn't get any.
