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.

Journalist: So, how was it?
Lotito: Still better than English food!
I can absolutely believe this would have been his answer.
French people cannot pass a chance to make fun of British cuisine.
cuisine
It’s so bad, they have to use a french word to make it sound palatable.
Lotito holds the record for the 'strangest diet' in the Guinness Book of Records. He was awarded a brass plaque by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award.
I would expect nothing less.
Maddening that the article doesn’t list his cause of death. What did he die of??
Natural causes!
No, iron deficiency
Irony deficiency.
Well, I’ll be damned. Also, the chompers on the man look exactly like what I’d expect for a plane-eater.
He tried to poop out an entire airplane.
His colon and entire digestive system has to be absolutely wrecked.
FWIW he died at age 55.
It's not that bad : the plane wasn't made by Boeing.
According to this article his stomach and intestines had unusual thick lining and strong gastric acids, so maybe they were not so bad.
That is an ancient looking 55 year old.
Eating a plane really accelerates the ageing process.
Some say it adds dimension to you time line.
Let me tell you his diet!
Where does the man shit? I'd hate to be his landlord
That's such a good point I hadn't considered. This stuff would've absolutely fucked up the plumbing in most places. Not to mention the sewage treatment facility's filters having to deal with all that debris.
However, it also meant that soft foods, such as bananas and hard-boiled eggs, made him sick.
Hmm best example of soft food? Hard-boiled eggs!
Hard boiled eggs are pretty soft, tbh
I've never been a fan of how crunchy they are, though.
Soft boiled eggs are softer
When I read the title, my first guess was Tarare. Sounds like the kind of thing he'd've done if planes had been invented.
Imagine the gate agent having to tell the passengers why their flight is canceled.
That's cute, but doesn't quite hold a candle to Tarrare.
Wow France cuisine must really suck
What a poseur.
