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 not his home address. But news about his home in the area has made it to the news in recent years due to a dispute he had with the city, and since it ended up going to public hearings there was a public notification requirement regarding the address.

Elon Musk is the personification of a moron’s hallucination of a genius.

From Zillow: This 6934 square foot single family home has 6 bedrooms and 7.0 bathrooms.

Fucking hell. That's nearly 650 square meters, larger than every home I've ever lived in combined.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 14 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

It's still not obscenely huge like some mansions are. That's a time and a half the size of the biggest house in my neighborhood, and I don't live in a huge city. It seems like a lot of bathrooms though for the size...

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I think I must have lived in countries with much smaller homes on average. I can't even imagine what a 650 square meter home looks like. It's over six times larger than my home now.

Because what could possibly go wrong

Works fine if you never have to worry about your credit card bill.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 51 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Does this even appeal to anyone? "We can automate the only part of consumer capitalism that's any fun?" Seriously?

Billionaires have so much money they literally can't spend it all. A bot could blow $100K on their behalf and they could laugh it off as a funny story.

They've worked very hard to divorce their fate from the fate of the general public, that has worked, and it shows in ways they don't even perceive anymore. They don't have any reason to look for good deals. This is strictly an imaginary scenario for little people, from their point of view.

"Your computer has detected your credit card and is automatically purchasing items it thinks you need" was a very old Dilbert comic strip.

Yeah, if he's buying them for his kids, chances are that he doesn't live there.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 97 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Imagine being one of the kids and seeing this is how your gift was done.

But at least you're in daddy's Top 5 of that 14.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago

Exactly what i was thinking!

"Hey kids, have some random shit some algorithm thought you might desire. Best dad ever, amirite?"

Showcasing his blatant disregard for his progeny in front of millions of people while trying to hype his latest stupid tech. It's really no wonder this guy's this richest person on the planet, just galaxy-brain shit 🤯

Took me way too long to “see what you did there”

I thought he built a giant complex for all the moms and kids to live together with him?

It would be really wrong to send him dildos.

So totally don't do it.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

Shipadick.com would be a terrible site to visit. Don't do that.

incognito69420@mail.grokbot.com what a fucking loser.

I now guarantee he uses 69420 as his numeric identifier in everything. He’s exactly that type of infantile teenage douche.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 49 points 1 day ago

incognito

uses his real name and address and broadcasts the whole thing to the entire internet

Truly a Tony Stark-level genius.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 10 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

atleast he is not using "67"

Fake!!!

That order details page says he paid tax. 😆

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 83 points 1 day ago (3 children)

People still pretend that this man is actually intelligent. What he is is just really, really good at taking credit for other people's ideas and being very confidently incorrect.

I hope someone uses the information above for good one day.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

Just another narcissist. They tend to be dumb because they think they know everything and rarely learn new things.

The most ridiculous part is expecting someone to ask AI to spend hundreds of dollars on their behalf with zero supervision. You have to truly be in the top .3% for that to be a consideration.

[–] davad@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (5 children)

So...a "fun" reminder about the wealth gap. If you're in the top 0.1% of wealth in the US, you're still closer to homeless than you are to the billionaire+ class.

A source I found puts the top 0.1% at $64 million net worth (link) And the difference between 64 million and a billion is about a billion.

[–] skittle07crusher@sh.itjust.works 6 points 19 hours ago

I love you for this

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Depressingly after Occupy Wall Street, now it's not the 99%/1%, it's the 99.9%/0.1%.

Everyone in Austin knows where this house is. All his neighbors have beef with what he's done there and it's been in the news. I doubt he ever goes there based on what I've read.

(Technically it's in Westlake, which is a wealthy, white suburb that incorporated itself decades ago to avoid being annexed by the city of Austin. A lot of "fiscal conservatives" there.)

I wouldn't expect the home address of anyone famous to be all that hard to find with a little effort.

Wow looks exactly like the LA and San Diego that Iran was just talking about!

Lmao, even he doesn't use Paypal for online transactions.
