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.

Ok Now you have a bucket of piranhas. ?
Classic Wednesday move.
How quickly would they die of the chlorine?
Would still empty the pool pretty quickly if they do die rapidly
Piranhas have dozens of uses. Food, bait, aesthetics/decor, pranks, weapons of surprise, scissors, evil lairs…
Pranks !? 💀☠️
HI, I'M KENNY ROGERS, AND THIS IZ THE PIRANHA BUCKET ON THE DOOR TRICK!
Rare mad tv reference?
Surprise scissors are my favorite kind of scissors
Then you will love the German fairy tales collection of Struwwelpeter especially the thumb-sucker Konrad.
Here is an English translation of the whole book, although parts of the original humor got lost:
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/12116/12116-h/12116-h.htm
It's even more impressive as this seems to be his side-job or even hobby.
This man is a professional tailor, but in his leisure time he storms like a SWAT team into family homes and his holy mission is to eradicate thumb-sucking everywhere.
In my opinion the huge scissor means, that there are not only little thumb-suckers out there, but also proportional bigger ones and the tailor wants to be prepared for every one of them equally.
So he aquired a special kind of skills in his career, handling the huge scissor.
Would you ask questions as a kid if your parents are ok with invasion of privacy and involuntary amputation by some stranger and framing it normal?
Maybe I'd be afraid of the implication, but I'm pretty sure I'd be skeptical if all of my peers and everyone older than me all had 2 thumbs
Then it's the implication AND peer-pressure to have two thumbs. It's so diabolical perfect.
SUPPLIES!
Forbidden scissors
lets expand pranks a bit
Bucket of piranhas perched above a door.
Put a piranha in the apple bobbing barrel for a "hardcore" mode.
April fools (self explanatory).
This is just scratching the surface
The possibilities are endless.
Put piranha in toilet, profit
mom I need an adult
It's a great threat
also it's food
Step 1: Collect a bucket of piranhas
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Profit
I'll just pop a quick "P" on that so everyone knows...
Solid reference
Good source of nutrition 🤤
Not just a bucket of piranha but a bucket full of piranha and margarita mix. You just add water and ice.
