Today I Learned

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.

Nova recently had an episode on this, “When Whales Could Walk” S51E01

You know, I can't fault them for it. They gave it a try and decided the land wasn't their bag.

I think they had the right idea, although they can't even seem to make up their minds, maybe that's why they keep beaching themselves.

Whales are majestic, graceful and super attractive.

Most of the time anyway. Belugas are kind of derpy-looking:

They appreciate good mariachi though.

They look like they were designed by Fiat:

I'm just saying they're not especially majestic.

She's happy that you said there's nothing wrong with her.

DisclaimerNo, I'm not a brony. My spouse got into it and I picked up a bunch through osmosis and parallel toy shopping (upon arrival at TRU etc, I would go look for Joes and Transformers, and she would head for MLP. Whoever finished first would find the other and help them look for whatever the chase was that day). She half heartedly tried to get me to watch the show but I never gave it more than a cursory glance.

Believe me, don't believe me, doesn't matter lol.
