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 know this is just a joke, but you should be dressed for the weather outside/have extra clothes and blankets in the car. Just in case your heat dies in the car, you run out of gas, get stranded/stuck.
I work at a major airport. I'm the first person you see as you step off the plane. Cleveland can be cold, and so it might be 15F outside, but the plane came from Miami.
There's people stepping off the plane, onto the jetbridge, which is basically like stepping outside, except surrounded by thin metal walls. So it's 15F in the jetbridge. They came from 95 degree weather. So they're stepping off wearing thongs, shorts, skimpy stops, some of the guys are shirtless.
And it's the SAME reaction from every single person for 20 minutes.
Person steps off. "Ooooh, it's cold!" Person walks up the jetbridge.
Next person walks out. "Ooooh, it's cold!" Person walks up the jetbridge.
Next person walks out. "Ooooh, it's cold!" Person walks up the jetbridge.
Next person walks out. "Ooooh, it's cold!" Person walks up the jetbridge.
Repeat this for 20 minutes straight. I'm at the point where I want to petition to legalize assault in jetbridges in Cleveland. Just so they can be like "Ohhh, it's co---" BAM!
They're cut off by me hitting them in the head with a tire iron.
HEY!!! DUMBASSES!!!! BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES FOR ON THE PLANE!!! OR JUST THROW SOMETHING ON TOP OF YOUR CLOTHES!!! YES, IT'S COLD HERE, BUT ALSO YOU'RE NOT HELPING!!!
Solid advice.
I was dressed accordingly, always had like 3+ layers not counting negative temperature rated down coat, boots, scarf, gloves etc it just still sucked that it was cold and icy lol.
