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.

What's the minimum recommend amount, like 500 megabits?
When comparing it to the average US diet, it is crazy. They recommend around 32g for Adult Males, for reference, a serving of Metamucil (popular fiber supplement) has 2.4g of Fiber.
Arright so I'll just pop a dozen of those a day, done
LOL I just pictured someone surrounded by wrappers of Metamucil and not a veggie in sight. “I’m getting all the fiber”.

I eat overnight oats with chia seeds for lunch daily and beans with a lot of meals. When I first started doing it....HOLY SHIT the gas was massively disgusting. It gets better though.
I’ve been eating “fiber one” breakfast bars for years as an easy way to boost my fiber. The gas never stops for me. It doesn’t even smell, but there’s a lot of it.
I definitely feel the difference in my body when I stop. The gas is unfortunate, but it’s preferable to no fiber.
i can't eat oats for the same reason, but it doesn't get better - i've cut them out of my diet and eat more veggies instead. Although I'm gonna live alone in a few months, and i think my cats don't care, so i might treat myself sometimes in the future.

"Fiber intake recommendations from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) range from 19 grams to 38 grams per day, depending on gender and age." 9. Institute of Medicine, Food and Nutrition Board. Dietary Reference Intakes: Energy, Carbohydrates, Fiber, Fat, Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, Protein and Amino Acids. Washington, DC: National Academies Press; 2005.
They're obsessed with protein and don't realise fibre is more important.
I think the bigger problem is the number of people who have never consumed a properly cooked vegetable, and as such they think they hate vegetables.
Nuked in the microwave canned green beans and boiled Brussel sprouts don’t create vegetable eaters.

I can't eat fiber without getting really sick. I just get really tired and in a lot of pain. Butt scope was all clear. I see the rheumatologist in a few months. I suspect it's pinching a blood vessel somewhere.
Does this connect with the American thing about coffee making them shit?
