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.

Pray harder. That's what gods are for. Maybe you're doing it wrong?
Fuck you. Seriously, go fuck yourself to hell you unempathetic fuck. No one should care when this inevitability of climate change happens to you I guess. Most people in Iran are not religious fundamentalists. They live under an unpopular government. This is a problem of climate change affecting millions of people in a big city and your answer is this. Fuck you.

Take a selfie
Please, do not forget that behind the religious zealot speaking on TV, there are millions of good people in immediate danger. That should ring a bell...
But >99% are muslim, so...the <1% are those "good people"? or do you meant those amongst the 99%? To me, it does not matter anyway. If e.g. germany would be 100% Nazis, except me, I'd still be considered one. I could emigrate or collaborate through apathy. But I surely couldn't complain when being shot for being a Nazi.
Ok, I see. You're being deliberately offensive and provocative, so i will not engage further. Conversation held on this basis cannot bear fruit, surely you are aware of that. Goodbye
I didn’t realize MAGA level thinking was on Lemmy now. Fuck. Time to go.
I'm not even close to being in that silly joke of a country, let alone being a fan of that clown. If I'd be from there, I wouldn't even know where Iran is. Or what.
If you did live in the USA, you'd definitely be MAGA.
This comment is also cringe
More MAGA level comments from people who use “cringe” as an adjective.
Damn, I didnt realize that lemmy.world was into islamophobia like that. Guess its time to find another place to spend my time.
This is such a weird response that multiple people are making. Not that you're seeing a trend of Islamophobia, but just one shitty comment. And rather than merely chastise that commenter and chase them off, you suggest abandoning the platform - making it more friendly to more shitty commenters. Why cede the space to them?
I haven’t seen much Islamophobia here specifically, but all of Lemmy is generally anti-religion, while still being very humanist. This comment was particularly horrible by any standards because of the sheer lack of empathy for widespread human suffering. That is not merely anti-religion, it is anti-humanist, and that is why it’s being downvoted.
There's a difference between [anything else of a reason] and a phobia. But you're free to use pop-buzzwords, if you'd prefer to.
You're dying of thirst? Erm, have you tried being an atheist about it?
I hate atheists so much man we're worse than weeaboos
You can only either be in a cult/religion OR an atheist? now that's a tiny box you're sitting in. What about cult-free believers in whatever? What about agnostics? So yes, Atheists are nearly the same as theists to me, their ignorance has just turned 180°. Still preferable to cults/religions that dictate what you have to believe in.
No, of course not. But I don't think you were trying to discuss the idea of atheistic religions when you responded to "28 million people are without water and will likely die" with 'your god is fake lol'
No, stupid. Atheist means lack of belief in any gods, not necessarily a belief in a lack of any gods. If you don't believe in any gods, you're an atheist too. You may be agnostic as well, but agnostic atheism is a subset of atheism.
