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.

That's hilarious because I'm not even a transphobe, so that fits right in with your character of calling people various kinds of intolerant in order to feel like you're on a moral pedestal
It’s not like your removed comments disappear.
Regardless, if users like you are the ones who don’t like me, I’m not losing sleep over it.
It’s been a long time since I lived my life based on what others expect of me. My moral code is strong and I’m not ashamed of it.
Have a good one out there.
What, my removed comments that got mischaracterized and swarmed by people virtue signaling like you instead of actually engaging in a rational discussion and trying to understand what I was actually trying to say? Cause if you could see the full context, which you can't, you would see that what I was saying wasn't transphobic at all.
And that string of "banned for being transphobic" was all from one mod, on a series of comms that I've never participated in, over the aforementioned conversation on a different comm. And that mod was clearly someone like you who cares more about virtue signaling than rational discussion.
After all, I called you a woman, didn't I? I used your preferred pronouns. That doesn't seem like something a transphobe would do, does it? I've never once attacked you for being trans. I've called you out for being self-righteousness and in many cases bigoted, and I've seen other trans people call you out for the same shit too.
But whatever, don't lose sleep. I wouldn't want you to damage your health. Just, when you wake up in the morning, take a look in the mirror and realize you're just a human too, with human flaws, and you don't get a pass on that just because of your marginalized status.
Anyone can be a bigot. If you don't believe me, just look at Caitlin Jenner, Alice Weidel, Kanye West. It's not exclusive to cishet white men. Remember that.
I'm not trans, but nice try.
Bullshit, I've literally seen you talk about being trans.
Quote it then. Go find that comment. It doesn't exist.
I'm not trans.
Right, cause I'm gonna waste hours digging back through weeks worth of your comments just to find the one where you talked about being trans so I can prove something you and I both already know?
I’m a cis woman and your insistence that you know better than me about my own gender is not helping you argue your case against being a transphobe.
Okay, it's fine, you can gaslight me. You get a pass cause you're a minority.
Maybe I should become a minority too so that I never have to admit when I'm wrong and can instead just feign outrage any time I'm called out on something 🤔 hmm, nah, I won't cause I'm not a terrible person
Why are you insisting I’m trans?
Because I've literally seen you say that you are.
Then find it.
