TIL since it is forbidden for Jews to carry certain objects in public during Shabbat, many cities have installed lines in the air, enclosing the city, making the entire city count as private domain and thus making it allowed to carry among other things, house keys, tissues, medication, and babies.

exactly. I mean seriously. If the whole city is cheating, just give up.

It's like u/sayitagain said. If these are meant to be the commandments of an all knowing, all seeing, all powerful God, I'd have to think that only people who weren't taking that concept seriously in the first place would even consider this.

I'm just some arsehole sitting in front of a computer and I have the wherewithal to see through this ruse... If there's a super being that created the earth and judges the souls of all men, you think he's looking at those bits of string and saying: "Woah... Woah, wait a second! Is that... Are those people inside?! I guess they are inside. Wow, that's a huge private house. A lot of people have smaller houses inside that private place. Man, I'm so baffled by this."
