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.

I need to start selling stuff to dumb rich people.

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

There is no rich people buying this shit. Companies give this shit for free to rich people, then the wannabes acting rich waste their money on it.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 13 points 11 months ago

I need to do this then.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What’s the crossover point between rich and wannabe rich?

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 6 points 11 months ago

Whether you earned the money or your great great grandparents did.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 2 points 11 months ago

You're not allowed to do that unless you're already rich.

It's more expensive because they have to test it on baby animals.

[–] teft@startrek.website 22 points 11 months ago

It's more expensive because it's made from actual babies.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

I'm totally okay with the people dumb enough to buy this being charged more.

[–] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 11 points 11 months ago

I read the beginning of this post as TL;DR

[–] Hnazant@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Do you realize how bad babies stink and you have to do a smell test hourly.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A freshly clean baby smells wonderful. It doesn't last long, though.

(The smell doesn't last. With luck and care a baby lasts a couple years before it morphs into a child.)

This title is weird, it's comparing the most expensive scented baby water to the best selling scented adult fragrance? But what about the most expensive adult fragrance or best selling scented baby water? This seems like apples and oranges.
