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.

Unlike the one in NYC, the homes here aren't skyscrapers, just huge, galling mansions. There's even a handy map that makes them easy to find.

Thiel used to have a house near here. I actually delivered his luggage there once and got in trouble for not going to the service entrance. It was very clear from my interactions that day what Mr. Thiel thinks of us poors.

Maybe it was because the butt plugs weren't concealed in unmarked packaging

On a completely different subject, have you seen those dragon drones being used in Ukraine? Just a cheap drone and a little thermite does soo much damage it's insane.

[–] TylerBourbon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But where does one get thermite? Asking for a friend.

[–] LordGimp@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

One does not "get" thermite. One makes thermite. All you need is powdered rust, aluminum powder, a rough ratio of the two by weight, and a sufficient heat source like a magnesium strip to light it off.

So nice for them to get all together so it easier when the cult of Luigi come

Yep, one street is easy to barricade.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Don’t forget the bazookas to shoot down helicopters.

Williamsport, PA has a “Millionaire’s Row” of Victorian mansions that the timber barons built.

[–] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Millionaires row" could also describe any collection of homes on Long Island above 2000sqft at this point.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or any two bedroom condo in Toronto

"Millionaires' column"

I feel like skyscrapers would solve a lot of San Francisco's problems and and also create new ones. I'm all for it
