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.

Some people eat dirt, some eat heaps of sugar every day, some feast on the carcass of dead animals. To me all three of these are weird. Humans are funny creatures
Even weirder to compare these three extremely different things. "Ah yes eating dirt makes you all WEIRD, unlike my extremely superior vegan self who would never stoop to such pathetic lows. No, of course I don't have friends and I just cannot figure out why."
The vegans will never have the political clout to enforce their lifestyle on everyone. The world is going to hell, but there's that.
I'm just annoyed by zealots of any type. I think veganism is a good choice to make but it's not their place to police everyone else.
I, too am doing what I can to limit my animal consumption. But I want the option.
You ok bro?
Ok enough to not bring up other people's diet apropo of nothing
Meat eaters are so easily triggered. I wonder why
No one cares about your diet, because it's not normal to care about other people's diets.
Veganism isn't a diet, but I'm not surprised you don't know this basic and simple fact
Not that it matters at all what you call it, but it certainly primarily is one.
But sure let's expand the context so we can sealion and distract from the fact that it's extremely weird to look for excuses to publicly write judgy bullshit about what other people eat.
