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.

Of the total area that is used by humans (Agriculture, Urban and Built-up Land),

  • urban and built-up land is 1m km²,
  • agriculture is 48m km²,

so agriculture is 48 of 49 millions km² used, that's 98%. The remaining 2% are all streets and housing and other infrastructure together.

okay, nobody has proposed that as a solution. Also that's... insane.

Making meat too expensive for the poor does, in fact, ban poor people specifically from eating meat.

... Is this a prank? Am I taking the bait? What is happening.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)
  1. If meat is too expensive for someone to buy, then they can't buy it.

  2. If someone tries to eat meat they didn't pay for, they get arrested.

  3. Therefore, making meat too expensive for the poor is a ban with extra steps.

What part of this do you disagree with?

Once again that's overly reductive to the point that it's completely departed from anything resembling the topic as presented by everyone else. And I'm still confused about how the hypothetical jewish conspiracy fits into this.

The topic, as presented, was to make meat more expensive so people ate less. I say that's effectively a ban on poor people eating meat. I don't really know what part you disagree with, why you disagree with it, or how you think poor people would be able to eat meat they can't afford. You're going to need to clarify even a tiny little bit or else I don't know how I can even talk to you.

And I’m still confused about how the hypothetical jewish conspiracy fits into this.

There's an active conspiracy that global elites want to take away real meat and make everyone eat lab grown meat. Ranchers and business owners in the meat industry are especially fond of spreading these conspiracies to lobby for bans on ban lab grown meat.
