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 guess just by eating them a lot my body adjusted?

Though I think also, you know how different bodies have different strengths and weaknesses - digestion seems to be my body's strength, the one place I don't usually have issues. Like no trouble eating meat after 20 years of vegetarian food, even. It doesn't care. It's weaknesses lie elsewhere.

Thats a good point. Time to time I muse about what foods are having impacts on me, and then reflect on how sugar heavy my diet is (for different reasons). Would be to my benefit to adjust my diet significantly, tough it out for a week or two of adaptation, and then hopefully reap the benefits without the whirlwind of increasing bean intake. Do those frequent bean eaters have a special source of those legumes? Do i need to make an under the table agreement at the local chinese grocery to get those dank dry beans versus buying Goya out of convenience...

Do you want fancy beans? Rancho Gordo online has fancy beans. They are, as they say, the leguminati.

For canned I use the ones from whole foods or go to specific ethnic markets. Chinese chefs use some crazy preparations I don't usually like - fermented black beans ok in small amounts, but no no to red bean ice cream or any sweet preparation. And big no to Japanese natto, what are they even thinking?

But middle eastern markets have good canned favas, and spanish and italian markets here have lots of brands that aren't Goya.
