What did you learn today? Share it with us!
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:
Rules (interactive)
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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

One is trying to kill you. One just wants your wallet.
It's not my fault if you're so stupid that you end up bleeding out on the floor. Do not take the rest of us with you because you are too stupid to see one has worse intent.
No one with their head on straight is happy to vote for a Democrat, but if you want the clown with a knife that will shank you over the businessman who wants to short your 401k, then have fun bleeding out on the floor.
Woah. That's a great way to show empathy there. Definitely how you get people in your side.
I never said I want to support evil people but ignoring the blatant cruelty is just plain abhorrent. You decided I was against you because I pointed out the abuse. I also think the only option at the moment is Democrats but I'm just not willing to ignore reality of the mild abuse and keep it mind as we try to move forward. You decide to be cruel and claim everyone has it coming. We are in this together so get to understanding that you don't escape it just because you don't care.
I'm not trying to be your friend. Stop trying to make appeals to civility when the problem is how close-minded and ignorant you are.
I am NOT saying everyone has it coming. I'm saying, "but they're still bad tho" is a fucking utterly stupid and defeatist attitude. We KNOW Democrats aren't good. That doesn't magically make it a wash where Republicans need to be humored in any way what so ever.
That only means there is a lot more work to do after the fascists are cast out of power. That DOES NOT mean we act like it's a wash between the two.
