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.

They say you have to work hard and chase your dreams, but if you belong to the wealthiest Native American tribe in the world, you can sleep through life

Disgusting.

Gambling ruins lives, these people are profiting off of the pain and suffering of the less fortunate.

So you're against Vegas and Atlantic city as well or is it just a problem when natives are making profits off of gambling?

They said gambling is bad and you start to insinuate that they are racists. Seriously ?!?

Who are these people they're referring to?

I'm past the point of giving Americans the benefit of the doubt. It's a bigoted racist society to its core. After years of being proven wrong When assuming people who make comments like that are good people, I'm left with assuming the people that make ambiguous statements such as the one above are dog whistling and I'd wager that I'm right about this and you are wrong.

I’m not American you idiot. I’m Australian, a country gripped by gambling , with the highest percentage of gamblers in the world.

Secondly, these people obviously refers to this group of people who profit off of gambling.

I don’t care if it’s some indigenous group or Crown Resorts, it’s never okay.

So you're ignorant and don't have a clue what you're talking about while being surrounded by degenerates and clearly being one yourself.

Fitting.

Yeah okay mate, sure thing!

You're the sort of person to support Israel and shout out 'racist' at everyone who calls out their bad shit too.

Not surprisng coming from a Canadian, gonna go run another starlight tour or murder an indigenous protester?
