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.

neo liberal economics always bring hard times which politicians like trump exploit to blame hard times on minorities, it has been going on for decades and it will go on till end of humanity if we do not tear this whole economic system apart

What? Republicans trash the economy then leave the next Democrat to fix it.

But because the changes in policy take time to affect the economy, it looks like the democrat caused it.

But every time, the Democrats end with an improving economy and the Republicans end with a declining economy.

You think Ds have ever fixed the economy?

New Deal was a long time ago, they've fucked it up ever since, hand in hand with Rs.

Coincidentally, the leadership and a sizeable chunk of BoTh PaRtIeS are filthy rich! And their families! For generations...

I wonder why their wealth grows substantially after taking office? It is a mystery ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Tell me you haven't looked at any data on the subject without telling me you haven't looked at any data on the subject.

What democrat has improved "the economy"

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 17 hours ago

All of them. It's a very clear pattern to anyone who bothers to look.
