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.

TFW your date makes the turn heading towards poundland
PSA: if you pat your brow with sweet, yeasty white bread before joining her in Poundland, you both're gonna have a bad time. π«£
TIL the yanks have a thing called a dollar store.
Dollar Store, Dollar Tree, Dollar General (where they couldn't keep prices at $1.)
5 Below - I thought would be a winter clothing/sports store, nope. $5 and below items
Ha. I would have also thought 5 below was a temp. thing.
Thereβs one a few miles from my house and I thought the same until this thread.
They opened one in Panama City Beach years ago. It's actually a decent place to bring younger kids if you have them or are hanging out with your nieces/nephews. All kinds of random things at the time.
I'm sure it's all cheap junk but if you are hanging out and want to find them some quick entertainment they have cheap pool floats/ beach stuff, marker/drawing/coloring sets, TShirts, little plush stuffed animals of things like Lilo and stitch, small Lego sets, sports balls, backyard games and even some shitty headphones and such.
Can find some activities for them for the weekend and they have fun looking around while you don't have to worry about it being expensive like if you bought a toy at Target or something.
For us it was usually things like little water guns, water balloons with fillers and big notepads and colored pencils as the kids were 4-12 years old and they loved going there. Not sure how they'll survive the tariffs though.
Don't worry. TACO.
funnily they don't have Dollar Store, that's a swedish thing
It was also just sold for Β£1!
That's comittment π―
It's so interesting to see how people react to something that is so normal to me π€£
We also sometimes call it The Pound Shop.
I watch an electronics guy called Big Clive on YT and I'm always impressed by the stuff he finds at Poundland.. kinda jealous.
Theres a GREAT channel that covers poundland tat called Ashens you should check out then. Thats where I learned of it.
I always watch his buying undelivered mail ones... absolutely love that a brown chair is his studio.
Two tickets, please, Iβd like to ride The Fuck Train to Poundland.
In related news, Americans wear thongs on their feet.
That would explain all the foot fetishists on onlyfans
One of my buddies has a big time thing for high heels, but only if he cant see toes because he thinks feet are disgusting.
And they don't seem to know what "gangbanger" actually means.
I know itβs gonna sound weird, but thanks to Big Clive, I am quite familiar with Poundland.
In my case it was Ashens.
We have a dog daycare center around here called Pound Town.
I don't think I'd have the heart to take my dog to poundtown π¨
Somebody's gonna watch some Ashens tonight.
Someone has never watched Ashens and it shows.
This is also the name of my bedroom. :)
Are you that cheap?
I never charge. Pounding is free.
There is also the "Poundstretcher".
Last I heard about this place, it (the whole company) was sold for one pound.
Just past Fingerville
Some of my favourite UK towns/villages etc:
- cockfosters.
- petts wood.
- fingringhoe.
- bitchfield.
- shitterton.
- Twatt.
Would a blowout sale there be called a Fingerbang!?
Man, Europeans are so sexually mature.
I understood that reference
I just woke up and I will have a very good day all thanks to you! I will dream of this moment, this feeling of accomplishment!
It's just south of Newpoundland.
