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.

Aren't Fraud and Forgery actual crimes in the US?!
The current right wing talking point is its not fraud because it wasn't successful lol. Even if it was successful, it still wasn't fraud because trump believed the election was stolen from him. Oh and state legislator can pick any electors they want at anytime.
It's ridiculous
"That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't fraud.
And if it was, it didn't work.
And if it had, it would be justified.
And if it wasn't, legislators could elect anyone.
And if they did, we would be right."
Aside from the last line, it fits The Narcissist's Prayer pretty well.
I didn't murder him! I only took a contract out on his life! The hitman got arrested before he even hurt the guy! I'm INNOCENT!
The only crimes that aren't punishable are suicide and coup d'etat... If successful. I guess people forgot that last bit. Too bad there wasn't more attempted suicide amongst these guys.
Only if you're poor!
You got me there!
Yes, it's one of the many things Trump and his collaborators are being prosecuted for.
IANAL, but yeah. And we should push our reps to ensure that the law is applied fairly.
Why would you try to change the subject to sex? Seems a bit weird, but I'm interested
/s
I did it, just for you. /s
Not when you've got good ol religion to burn the country to the ground with.
Depends on who commits them.
