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.

Murdering cops gonna murder.
But, no, it's illegal for cops to shoot someone in the head for just smoking a joint. Don't spread that narrative.
Whether they'll be tried or convicted is another question. But it's objectively murder.
Murdering cops gonna murder.
I’m still surprised Americans haven’t taken things into their own hands, the Movie Civil War certainly doesn’t feel far off.
What are you talking about? Many have.
One person who did just got 100 years in prison
They dont talk about any of it in the news. Like the continuing warehouse fires
They're absolutely talking about it in the news.
Corporate TV isn't the news. The US has a ton of great nonprofit news sources.
You can be shot by a cop for far less. Stay away from acorns
I saw that video. Holy shit. LEOs are insane.
That cop looked like me panic rolling from a gank squad.
Instrukkktions unkklear
Don't kid yourself. The cop is shooting both of them with no repurcussion.
So my medical weed magically becomes much more dangerous when I roll a J, which is illegal in my state.
Government is amazing.
Sure, they want to patent the extracts and make a ton. The supplement industry is rife with this now as well, patented extracts and formulations of common plants. This whole dumb society we built for ourselves is chock full of people doing things everyone knows is wrong to make money but we all look the other way since we somehow benefit, except the benefits are pretty slim these days since everything has been taken over by grifters and con men
They were right when they said cannabis kills.
Do you wear a sign that says i smoke schedule 3 cannabis?
Do you not?
