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:
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.

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.

Wait... Wasn't The Big Bang Theory about a guy named Leonard?
Maybe I should check out that show after all...
I bow before thee Lord Leonard. Bestow your blessings of orgies with MILFS, cougars, and sugar mommies upon me. π
Thereβs another one named Maurice, whoβs in charge of procuring drugs for said orgies.
He also speaks of the pompetus of love.
You can disable this demon by throwing pudding into his eye
three-horned goat
Oh, so he's horn-y.
... I'll see myself out.
Man, demons have the best parties.
they have succubus and incubus, so horny demons too.
He should have shown up on Buffy - Leonard and Spike would have gotten along great!
Is that where we get horny goat weed?
the GOAT
Anyone have any advice on which Dictionnaire Infernal is the most entertaining? Any with good illustrations?
No idea, sorry. This was just a random, amusing thing I learned today on QI that I verified / linked on Wikipedia.
Finally, I know who to complain to.
I wish people would learn that gods, angels, and demons aren't real.
If we as a society could get beyond magical thinking, we could make some real progress as a species.
Yes, but people enjoy the mythology from an academic POV.
I enjoy the stories, but that's all they are.
People take their yahweh mythology way too seriously.
I kind of see mythology as people trying to make sense of the world and themselves. Our hopes and fears and why things happen. We don't think of it in terms of gods anymore, but we're still affected by the history of religion and philosophy. We can say we've abandoned all these lies about supernatural beings, but I wonder to what degree we're still operating within the framework it provided.
Y'all muthafuckas need Leonard.
