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.

Oklahoma 🤮
I live here so don't hate on it so much.
I love Oklahoma. If it didn't suck so hard, Texas might fall into the Gulf of Mexico.
Kansas blows, and Oklahoma sucks! Classic saying.
We're sorry for your loss.
I live in Alabama (not from here) and I hate it every second of every day. I talk shit about it and it's "people" all the time. I've never been to OK but I'm pretty fucking far from OK, you know what I mean?
No offense to your state but my dad's going there to build an Rv park. He asked me to go, I said fuck no there no reason to go to Alabama. I been there it was near some college town and it was nice. Had a chance to marry a rich girl there, even that couldn't keep me in that state.
None taken. It's not my state and never will be. It's a third world tier shithole full of sociopathic MAGA morons. California is my home, I'm going back as soon as I get this xray tech school out of the way so I can afford to live there on my own. A few more years of misery then I'm free.
Oh I hate Alabama too and I live here. Hii neighbor, isn't Atlanta actually fun to visit and find stuff to do?
Atlanta is much more like actual civilization but it's still the south unfortunately.
I was born in Tulsa at hillcrest. I fucking hate Oklahoma and left it.
St. Francis here! I still think Tulsa is Oklahoma's crown jewel and the nicest place I've ever lived or visited.
Yeah Tulsa really isn’t the worst place in the world, I don’t love the state but I’m a little soft for Tulsa. There are a lot of good people in that city
Where you go? I won't out to but to where, and even if I did could we afford to live there?
I ended up in St. Louis. Missouri as a state isn’t super great and has a lot of the same people as Oklahoma but St. Louis is like a bastion in a sea of red and a really affordable place to live. Oklahoma is probably a bit cheaper but areas of St. Louis are surprisingly cheap and it’s not the dangerous hell hole it’s portrayed as. I live in an area similar urbanwise as like broken arrow or something and it’s just quiet and chill here all the time
Huh. I'm from McAlester and did the same. Oklahoma sucks donkey dick.
