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.

Gotta be a troll. Look at their profile. They’re wishing the USSR had never fallen and praising lenin. Maybe they got lost from .ml?

Anyone from 3rd world who is suffering from american menace wishes that USSR had never fallen, we felt safe atleast lol. Not to mention USSR was strong ally of my country and supported us in a war when USA sided with the enemy.

And now the shit USA is doing in cuba and venezuela, threatening annexation of greenland makes it even more evident.

Only westerns and americans are taught to brainlessly hate the USSR.

I absolutely admire lenin, any sane person would. (Except if you are brainwashed amrikkkan or european that is)

Did you know Lenin invaded other countries? Trump is bat shit crazy for the idea of invading Greenland. Lenin actually invaded countries:

Poland

Azerbaijan

Armenia

Georgia

Ukraine

Belarus

Turkestan (along with other areas)

Estonia

Latvia

Lithuania

Also, he heavily censored the press and heavily censored free speech.

half of these werent invadade or annexed during lenin's time at power

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

All of them were invaded by Lenin, not all of them succeeded. 4 to 10 million people died as a result of Lenin's actions. He is one of the great evils in world history.

Anything's possible when you make shit up

Lenin didnt invade any of those. He favored exporting revolution, workers of those nations established soviet republic themselves and later joined USSR. If Lenin was invader he wouldnt have preserved their different identity. I dont care about free speech, its bourgeoisie bullshit propaganda to keep masses as sheep

Lenin is one the greatest men in history.

Wow, you're in deep. Good luck comrade
