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.
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.

I mean look at that mugshot. Dude probably hangs dong like a forearm. Probably through a bush thicker than the Amazon rainforest. I don't know why, but it just looks like when he unsheiths his member it hits the ground like Mjornir. He enters a room full of women and leaves it a mess of puddles and pubes. Probably stays well hydrated too.
Good for him.
good for him.
Well you didn't go to the Playboy mansion for the chicken wings.
you go for the...articles.
You'd go Hooter's for that
Where the butthole ends
i have trouble thinking of him as a children's author. dude was an autuer and was not limited to children's poetry. (my favorite rendition of this song is on the muppets)
The Wilt Chamberlain of literature
If they were of legal age and it was consensual then good for him, I guess? Who cares this much about someone else's love life? Honestly...
This dude fucks
My low stakes conspiracy is that Shel Silverstein is actually Grigori Rasputin. I have nothing to support this and I will not be accepting criticism.
Nice.
In his shoes I'd have done the same.
Anyone else breathing a sigh of relief that the childrens author with a overactive libido wasn't diddling kids?
It's really just nice that he's going for their moms.
Or making anti-semitic comments like Roald "The Little Bastards'll Swallow Anything" Dahl.
If I recall, Dahl was some sort of secret agent for Britain during WW2. So not all that surprising that he'd be a p.o.s.
It would be like a CIA agent writing children's books.
Roald Dahl was an RAF pilot during the early days of World War II. He got injured and was discharged because of it. I've read his autobiography when I was a child, which was quite interesting. Shame that he was anti-semite.
I mean, Julia Child worked for the OSS during WWII and wasn't a POS (as far as I know).
Christopher Lee was some sort of agent as well. However, joining the Sith, becoming an vampire, and cutting down the forests of Isengard are kinda dick moves.
Was he really that old?
He’s a vampire wizard, of course he was that old.
But jokes aside, yes. Old enough he witnessed the last public execution by guillotine in France, met Tolkien personally, and while his tales may have grown a bit, he’s one of the inspirations for Ian Fleming’s James Bond. He famously told Peter Jackson people don’t scream when they get stabbed in the back, they just go “uh”. Also performed heavy metal. He’s genuinely pretty badass.
That's so cool, I never knew that much about him but that really explains his demeanor and facial expressions. No wonder they look so genuine.
He was giving tree. 😏
As Ozzies say, "rooting"
Lisa of people have sex.
Leave Lisa out of this.
Lisa goes where Lisa wants to go
