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.

OMG, we as a society need to go back to that instead of filling a 24 hour news cycle with pundits and endless opinons.
And also stop broadcasting every minor crime that happens in the world. People are way too paranoid now days.
more or less they found out using culture war BS(yes it has been going on since reagans time, like celebrity news, SPorts was useful against them from class war issues. so they dialed it to 1000, and adding copaganda, militaryproganda to that end. ragebait is very effective. plus "whitewashing white people" in media.
"Nothing happened today" isn't a sign of a slow news day, it's a sign of institutional decay. Literally people unwilling or unable to do their jobs.
Modern hustle culture has it's own problems, but suggesting we should be applauding a national broadcaster just doing Ferris Beuller's Day Off? Come on.
that's a stupid question
That wasn't a question, though.
edit: just in case i wooshed you in the first one, i was referencing this:
Fwiw, some of us got the (not even all that) deep cut, and liked it:-).
I hoped so, but if my jokes contain negativity I worry.
So apparently there was some news very relevant to the British Empire
The Chittagong armoury raid occurred when Indian revolutionaries Surya Sen raided an armoury in the Bengal province of British India, seizing it and setting it on fire. Martial law was proclaimed and troops were called out to quell the uprising.
Real "nothing to see here, move along" moment
Forgot the part where it was Good Friday and that’s why they did that
No news is good friday news
In Mexico we have an urban legend: in October the 2nd of 1968, an anchor man started the evening news with the phrase "Hoy fue un día soleado" (Today was sunny day).
During June 2006, days before the controversial presidential election of 2006, 84-year-old Echeverría was charged with genocide in connection with the massacre. He was placed under house arrest pending trial. In early July of that year (after the presidential elections), he was cleared of genocide charges, as the judge found that Echeverría could not be put on trial because the statute of limitations had expired.
Of all the crimes, it really feels like genocide shouldn’t have a statute of limitations
nah. there should be valid reasons to prevent the limit from tolling, like it doesn't proceed against folk who are immune to prosecution due to office, but if you wait too long then sucks. victims are also owed timeliness
The best day on this planet.

Lucky for us that scientists have since discovered so many new sources of news to keep us busy.
