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.

Smh, it doesn't even list dinosauroni.

I really can't get behind calling things other than noodles, noodles (except pool noodles).

And there are still new ones being created. Cascatelli was made between 2018 and 2021.

But the only one that matters is angel hair.

I want a Spore-like game where I evolve the perfect pasta noodle for my virtual restaurant.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 2 points 19 minutes ago

If the Flying Spaghetti Monster isn't part of this game, I don't want it.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 hours ago

Wow! I am amazed there are that many.

As someone from NJ, I thought this was common knowledge. Each type is often paired with a particular kind of sauce or dish. Legend has it if you pair the wrong pasta with the wrong sauce, or commit the even graver sin of breaking the noodles in half before cooking them, a dark haired man in a wife beater with a fat gold chain will come and beat you with some deli meat. Some say his name is Sal, but he doesn’t speak, he just looks straight into your soul and gestures like this 🤌
