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.

And the FBI was assigned to follow the film team on reports of a "vaguely middle-eastern man with a bear in an ice-crem truck", which has to be the funniest report xD

Simply calling something a fallacy doesn't make it one.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't say it did, but it was a fallacy, and your response doesn't negate that.

[–] FrenLivesMatter@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah unless you can explain WHY it's a fallacy, that's just your opinion.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't have to explain everything to you. You can search online for what a fallacy is to understand the concept first, then look at why I said it.

It's still not my opinion just because you don't understand it.

[–] FrenLivesMatter@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I understand the concept of what a fallacy is. But like I said, unless you can explain what KIND of fallacy you think my argument is, simply calling it a fallacy thinking you've proven anything is a fallacy in and of itself. I don't need to make your arguments for you if you want me to be convinced of what you're saying.

Adding an ad hominem on top just shows you have no idea what a fallacy even is.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"that’s just your opinion" "It’s still not my opinion just because you don’t understand it"

About the same. You aren't willing to be convinced of anything as I said, so no point anyway.

[–] FrenLivesMatter@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago

I'm willing to be convinced by reason and evidence, but you have provided neither.

I don't care about your opinion AT ALL.
