We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

for background, I shaved my forearms for practicing methods of shaving my legs. low-key a mistake, don't think id recommend shaving arms lol
I picked up a pizza after getting a shower and to dry out my hair faster I didn't turn on the AC, was in a hot car in Florida for like 5m while it cooked and this is what happened. Pretty cool!
Edit: also it's interesting to visualize how much water is lost when you sweat
Ooooh, I especially hate the people in my family. They're such assholes. My mother told me once that she regretted not aborting me, so I don't see why I'm in the wrong for hating her back.
I'm wondering if your hatred of strangers is a symptom of poor parenting. Have you spoken to a professional about this?
Oh, it's not just poor parenting. I was also raised religious, and they taught me that god hates everybody too. Humans are inherently sinful, and we all deserve to die horrible deaths and be tortured for eternity because we pissed off god. And that goes double for non-cishet people like myself, who the church wanted publicly executed because that's what it says in the bible. I decided to be homeless at 19 because I thought my stepdad would follow the biblical rules about me getting raped, and beat me to death. The majority of people in this country claim to be the same religion, so that's terrifying.
Then we've got our government telling me that I'm a 'useless eater' because I've got a brain tumor and can't afford to monitor it without medicaid. The same government is talking about forcing me and people like me into labor camps. You can look at the voter numbers, the majority of people at minimum don't care, because they didn't vote. Most of the people who did care enough to vote, voted for this government.
I've been in therapy for a while, but I don't understand why you think therapy will make me okay with being classed as subhuman in this country.
It's not ok to treat people like subhumans for any reason, and I'm glad you don't subscribe to it.
I'm sorry about your situation. It sounds more difficult than most Americans could handle by themselves.
Yeah, this country fucking blows.
