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.

Can you imagine how much better the world would be if all these evil parasite people just disappeared?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

or they gather all in the same bunker.

Have they ever heard of Libertalia?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

And there really aren't that much of them, a few ten thousand at the most, world wide

If they'd all get a heart attack at three same time, poof, most of the world problems fixed or suddenly fixable

I think sterilization and patience is a more ethical solution

Autoclave or GTFO, eugenics won't prevent billionaires

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We have to deal with the current infestation and then we can think about preventing new ones because right now incase you haven’t noticed ALL of our elected representatives are owned by them

Sieze their assets and throw them in prison then

We know we need reform too we’re not stupid. Also, we can have the capital punishment argument after they’ve been rounded up and put on trial for ALL their crimes against humanity

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This isn't a reform vs eugenics thing. Eugenics is, on its own, a stupid idea. Especially so for a very common trait frequently found in surgeons.

Well they kill us by the millions so I’m willing to give it a try
