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.

Oh yeah, I loved sharing that fun fact when my wife wanted to watch the Netflix adaptation of Yu Yu and I wanted to let her in on the source material (I really liked the manga/anime as a teen).

I know this is off topic. But can you explain to me like I am five what the appeal of manga/anime is? I see all the adaptations and stuff but could never get into the source material it maybe because I am older but I try to keep up and still don't get it.

I briefly checked out the source material from Naoko Takeuchi, which demonstrates why her work is so well regarded, though I personally don’t fully grasp the appeal.

Which is fine, I just don't understand manga/anime.

Me and you are in the same boat. But as it is getting more and more popular and after having my doubts about it I am trying to understand the different itterations of it.

[–] LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

I can barely spell the titles, let alone understand the plots. Someone more well-versed would have to help navigate, but that shouldn’t be a problem at all.
