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 ate a beet salad after and had Christmas poops.

The post beets dump can be alarming until you remember you ate beets

Hey aren’t you the one who denounced me on behalf of Canada?

What are you, like the queen of Canada or something?

These woke millennials and their damn cancer

Everyone has cancer these days. Back in my time nobody had cancer because we ate our fruits and veggies and none of this woke organic BS

Amateur hour!

Lucky charms can do this with a single bowl.

Boo Berry will turn your poop blue with one bowl.

As a bonus, they also destroy my gut. So when I cave to the crave every few years I pay for it, and then marvel at the dyes while I clean the toilet.

Lucky Charms are a one way ticket to the green playdough factory

Isn't this the Skittles slogan?

ELI5: What does this sentence mean?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lucky Charms are an American breakfast cereal containing sugary marshmallow pieces with a lot of food coloring. Lucky Charms are served in a bowl with milk.

Ha! Great, thanks! (That was seriously not easy to guess.)

Found it "TIL that in 2020, Burger King ran an advertising campaign featuring a picture of a moldy Whopper, to prove that their burgers are made without preservatives. This unconventional advertising method wor"(sic)

Someone shreked in the toilet!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

And didn't flush?

Pretty Patties!

Had an "Eclipse" burger this April that had a "black" bun like this. Definitely wasn't expecting the vibrant green dump, but it didn't take too long to make the connection. Kind of funny once I realized nothing was seriously wrong, hah.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I'd call that a feature.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It was so wild! Mine looked like a stone with an emerald hue. I was not expecting the green at all. It was a time when I went to burger King more frequently to meet a friend who was sick so I tried it with no advanced notice of the repricusions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure this won't be coming to the European markets.

Now that is an "Oh, Shit!" moment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Pfft... When I drink a single can of Monster Energy, my poop is not just green; that shit glows. It also makes my pee fluorescent.

Which sucks because clearly all the energy is just leaving my body.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

The first time I discovered that did coloring can turn your poop green is with Baskin Robins had penguin ice cream because of Madagascar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, it was pretty cool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

So does purple Kool-Aid.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They also did a burger that was black bun. Your poop came out black. Or so I've heard.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

The black bun used a lot of green dye to make it black. That's what the link is about.
