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.

And if you dislike the foretelling, you can just eat the cheese and start again.

[–] my_hat_stinks@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

You’d simply carve the names of all potential suitors into some pieces of cheese, then wait to see which one molded first. And there it was—your life partner!

Eating the results won't always be a fun time, but I suppose there's bond to be risks when trying to change your fate.

Wait, tyromancy is real?! I thought CDPR were joking when they made an entire quest line out of it in the Witcher 3. I got a nice sword called the Emmentaler out of it and everything. Huh. TIL indeed. Thanks, OP. I never thought to Google it.

"Oh mighty cheese, what do you see in my future?"

"... Ur gonna eat some cheese"

And be hungry real soon, I predict.

Are my cheeses correct, I predict

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Here's how I predict the future with cheese:

  1. Eat the cheese I want to eat

  2. Do I still have cheese left to eat later? If yes, future's good. If no, future's bad.

Oh, i'll do you one better: Rumpology

The art of telling your future by reading your butt. Invented by... You guessed it, Sylvester Stallone's late mother : Jackie Stallone. ( Or the ancient Babylonians as she'd claim)

Is the chief tyromancer known as the big cheese?

[–] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

I see wild dreams in my future... Actually all that cheese has made me grossly overweight and sleep apnea has robbed me of my dreams.

Or you can use Chicken Box from McDonald's™ to predict someone's future. What you do is to tell them to buy largest Chicken Box and bring it, then predict future by reading how the nuggets look, how they are assembled in the box, what sauces the client chosen, how they taste, take your time with that last one, really get in there, try them all, that would be 50 dollars.

I should have studied astrology instead of astronomy.

Aeramas confirmed

Is this what the Cheese of Truth guy does?

I didn't know it was real. My favourite witcher 3 quest just became even more awesome.
