Today I Learned
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.

I didn’t know about that, but I don’t know why it has any relevance to my comment: I’m advocating for due process and you pose an obstruction of that very due process as somehow contradictory to my statement.
You have no idea the conversations you're actually having in here then.
I have an idea about the Wikipedia page I read. That is what I replied to. I also have an opinion about due process, which I am very well aware of.
You tried to pull some other case into it that I wasn’t even talking about and now you try to accuse me of having no idea about the entire discussion before that?
Are you deliberately trying to make yourself look like a fool? You really couldn’t do a better job if you tried.
Says the person who stalked me to push that I'm a MAGA psyop. I don't attach any weight to any of your opinions.
Stalked? Where? Please enlighten me with your definition of stalking. You’re leaving multiple comments to my one that wasn’t even a reply to you.
Don’t tell me you actually bought that, Velma? That would be hilarious.
lol stating what you did doesn’t mean I believed you.
Oh? What’s this then?
Yeah you were pushing it multiple times. That doesn’t mean I believed your trolling attempt. Do you routinely struggle with reading comprehension?
I do not. Nor am I now.
Here are the 13 possible meaning of the word “push”
to apply steady force to (something) in order to move it
to thrust (one's way) through something, such as a crowd, by force
to apply oneself vigorously (to achieving a task, plan, etc)
(tr) to encourage or urge (a person) to some action, decision, etc
to be an advocate or promoter (of)
(tr) to use one's influence to help (a person)
to bear upon (oneself or another person) in order to achieve more effort, better results, etc
(tr) to take undue risks, esp through overconfidence, thus risking failure
(intr) to act overconfidently
sport to hit (a ball) with a stiff pushing stroke
informal (tr) to sell (narcotic drugs) illegally
(intr; foll by out, into, etc) (esp of geographical features) to reach or extend
(tr) to overdevelop (a photographic film), usually by the equivalent of up to two stops, to compensate for underexposure or increase contrast
slang to be dead and buried
Now I comprehend that you don’t mean that I was pushing a boulder or pushing drugs, and your anger makes it obvious you don’t think I was trying to help you, so I’m thinking more along the lines of #3 or #5. Now both of these, as I comprehend them, mean you take your task or theory quite seriously.
Now I don’t want to push your buttons any further and English isn’t my first language, nor my second, but I do think I have a valid point here.
A whole novel just for me! WOW 😍 didn’t read it though lol
Ah well, most was plagiarism anyway. A pity, you might have learned something.
Do you often struggle with longer sections? Is it because of your impaired reading comprehension?
