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.

I hope they keep the pope away from any antipopes lest we have a catastrophic explosion in Rome.
Don't worry, my ass is staying in Canada.
His not interested on you he got his sacristans for that.
Statistically speaking there is more than 1 skeleton inside everybody.
Statistically, a human has fewer than two arms, two legs, or two eyes.
...and more than two nipples.
The average human has one boob
If you ignore man-boobs, sure.
But fewer than how many fingers, is the real question (that I couldn’t actually find an answer for).
Is there really more people missing limbs than with child?
I'm confident enough to say a living human at least more than one head.
I mean I guess you could include fetuses, but they aren’t actually part of the mother’s body, and would already count on their own, so while “skeletons inside” is a truthful statistic to include fetuses for, they don’t add limbs so counting them seems dishonest for this one.
are luxury bones part of the skeleton?
Hey relax, it's not a bone, it's just an additonal corpus cavernosum inside you. SCNR
For a while it was four, but then Nazi Spanish Inquisition pope died.
The big one ate the smaller one.
I couldn't get my head around that stat, thinking that on average it was the current pope and the next pope (who doesn't know it yet) in the Vatican; or whether it counted the remains of popes gone by.
Then I saw the metric area of the Vatican and it made a bit more sense... but not by much.
The highest pope density in the entire universe.
Unless you acknowledge the space pope, obviously.
Whenever someone says, "Statistically....", you know they're about to say some dumb shit that is an ignorant misinterpretation of statistics.
Statistically, that is true.
Statistically, there are a million me per square km in the square meter around me.
Wow, that's even higher papal density than Luxembourg!
does that include antipopes, and do those count as -1? also do popes and antipopes annihilate when they kiss?
Always 2 too many.

Actually the typically recognized person as the pope is not in the Vatican city. Which means the number of pope's in Vatican city is 0. https://youtu.be/RMf4OtC7SXY
