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.

Nobody knows what happens in North Korea, but that makes sense.

The tankies on lemmy assure me it's a utopia. ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What I mean is North Korea is so closed, that nobody knows if this true, but it is rational because everyone born by current Kim's minions will be future Kim's minions, and Kim wants more minions. There are no imkigrants.

:)))))))

Kimmigrating mass murderers should be considered excessive punishment.

Mostly because of UN (i.e. US sanctions,) which forbid worker visas to NKs.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Funfact 1: UN can't forbid any visas

Funfact 2: this is not type of ban that anyone can enforce

Funfact 3: NK is member of UN

Then why doesn't China take them on? Their allies right?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think China will help NK

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's true. But inconvenient for them to acknowledge. Because for them the West is the problem with everything. And everything can be excused because of the west. Which isn't to say that there aren't plenty of problems with Western Nations especially the United States. But as the saying goes two wrongs don't make a right.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think NKns are so bad at geography, their West is China, US is eastern nation for them.

This is mostly joke. Mostly because it is also correct.
