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.

Yea... I can pretty much promise you, if it was 43c and 60% humidity in europe, like it is where I live currently... they would have A/C units.
Then, everyone always fusses because we drive so much here in the US, instead of walking everywhere.... without accounting for, the US is drastically bigger. So, yes karen, I don't ride by bicycle 35 miles to work.
Texas (one of the many states/territories in the US), overlaid onto europe:
Seriously, fuck off with the America is bad insults, with poor apples to oranges comparisons.
There is a lot of stuff we do that can be drastically improved, but, saying Europe doesn't need AC and the U.S. does, because (insert US lazy / inefficient reason here...), is pretty dumb.
I can literally cook food in my car, or on my roof. Yes, I need A/C.
Probably America should not have put the homes 35 miles away from the everything else. Further, it should stop resisting efforts to put things closer together.
You do realize- the majority of America does live in towns and cities, right?
You are over-generalizing.
I mean, its not like some people in europe don't drive a long distance to work either....
Perhaps the UK shouldn't have homes 35 miles away from everyone else.
See how that works?
I said 35 miles because the person I was responding to said 35 miles.
Most people in the US drive to work (and everything else) because things are too spread out.
I didn't say anything about Europe in my last post. I live in the us.
And yes, we should focus more on denser spaces and mixed use.
Europe has had 2000 years and less space to cram everything together and their cities were built before cars.
Cry some more. America is literally shit. Stop bootlicking.
After reviewing your profile, it appears you like to be the victim, and blame the world for all of your issues, instead of trying to actually make a difference and improve things.
For future endeavours, why don't you try to make a difference, instead of expecting everyone to cater to your desires.
Please, don't bother responding this this comment, I have blocked you from this instance. Better things to do then to conversate with negative nancy all day.
"Stop bootlicking."
Ah, the comeback of the person with no comeback.
Mmmmm tasty boots the corporate bootlicker loves to taste. Vote trump again 🥾👅🤡
