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.

Trump in three, two...

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 7 points 4 hours ago

But what sauce did he have?!!!

[–] fusionsaint@lemmy.world 115 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He’s been asked this question a dozen times and says it because they are a consistent meal no matter where he is in the world. So, he basically doesn’t want to get the shits before a race by eating something fancy.

Trump’s McDonald’s diet makes more sense now.

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

Not for him, though. He has the shits permanently.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

Trump's diet is because he's a fat, lazy slob. McDs in the states vs abroad (is the EU, where they have actual food quality standards) is a night and day difference. He's traveled the world, and actively chooses to eat the slop McDs serves in the US.

This makes it sound like he won because he ate McDonald's nuggets. Fixed it.

Usain Bolt ate almost nothing but chicken McNuggets. Unrelated to the Mcnuggets, He went on to win 3 gold medals and set 3 world records.

See I read it originally as “Usain bolt was so good at running that he set three world records even after eating only McNuggets”

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 9 hours ago

Right. He basically nerfed himself and he was still way ahead of the competition.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 hours ago

Why do you think his athletic achievements are independent of his diet?

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

So if I eat enough chicken nuggets, I can beat usain bolt in a footrace

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

What if I eat 40 years worth of chicken nuggets today?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You will beat Usain Bolt to the grave

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 hours ago

I can beat Usain Bolt

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Morgan Spurlock, eat your heart out

Mssr Donald D, dunno how to tell you this,
but junk food is not the answer.

But mate, we can start by eliminating the Ore-Ida nuggets, hey?
