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.

Ppl didn't know this? This show was a fundamental part of my childhood

I didn't grow up with access to Nickelodeon. And Pokemon, and X-men were more of what I wanted to watch.

I mean it makes the most sense with him being a pig.

Pigs will eat anything.

Makes as much sense as hogs promoting BBQ on billboards. Or Chester Chicken (the sheriff) promoting Chester’s Fried Chicken

No, ono, it's Vegan sausages!

That steak though... Yeah, that was the neighbour.

The fella next door blasted his music at 2am for the last time.

There were video games, too.

My sister played the heck out of the Pico game

I had forgotten until I saw this comment but now I distinctly remember a game where you were supposed to make a cake for a pig by following steps like putting the correct ingredients into the mixer. My sister and I used to repeatedly mess up the cake on purpose because the pig would eat it no matter what and we found it hilarious to feed him awful cakes made entirely of burnt eggshells.

There was also a mystery solving themed Canadian show to teach deductive reasoning.

Busytown Mysteries

It was among the best shows when I was a kid

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I grew up with this. There were even little toys for busytown. I loved those as a kid.

I didn't even know there was a book.

Big fans. Our kids grew up on all the books and original TV shows. Then they remade the animated series, which brought along a line of stuffed animals. They had all of them, including an original felt Lowly. My wife even named her cat SallyKat.
