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.

Arguably more famous as the host of the Crystal Maze than as a voice in Phineas and Ferb. But okay.

He was also Mr. Hand in Dark City.

It's almost as though actors play multiple roles in their lifetime.

I fucking loved him as Mr. Hand. When he gets the John Murdoch memory upload he starts doing Rufus Sewell's mannerisms and it's honestly a little uncanny. Great performance.

Criminally underrated performance in a critically underrated film.

Only on my good days. On my bad days I'm actually quite the asshole, to be honest.

[–] cdf12345@lemm.ee 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean he was also the creator of rocky horror

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh of course, not to take that away from him. I just figured mentioning his performing role helped show the contrast.

I mean, the mom from Adventures of Pete & Pete had a bit part as a newscaster in Frankenhooker. Actors get around.

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Man, I haven't thought about Frankenhooker in a long time

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You don't think about Super Crack regularly? Damn.

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

I totally forgot Super Crack, and now I wonder what my life has become.

[–] cdf12345@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The younger of the two Peres was in GTA5 too.

Also did anyone ever find out who Sandy was?

The younger of the two Petes was in GTA5 too.

It was definitely nice to see Danny Tamberelli get some steady work and income from that.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago

Nice. The scenes where he just nods and smiles at Phineas and Ferb's inventions play a little differently in that context.

That's fun!

O'Brien identifies himself as third gender and uses he/him pronouns.

The citation for that is both illuminating and poorly done by 2013 standards, BBC has always sucked lol.
