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.

Excellent listen throughout, but you can skip to 17:30 for competition with McDonalds.

If you go to Nashville you can go to a white castle and a krystal burger to compare. theyre only a few miles apart.

nearly identical, but theres definitely a difference

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 54 points 5 months ago (5 children)

As an aside, I will never trust a southern company that has replaced the “c” in their name with a “k”. It is suspect.

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 months ago

To be fair, you are correct for that being the reason in almost all cases when seen in the south.

[–] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wait you're telling me it's not because they have a Kubernetes product?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 5 months ago

KDE Kubernetes Kommander. Don’t ever initialize the name.

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The southern chapter of the Kool Kids Klub does not appreciate your suspicion.

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Why not? Just the other day I got some delicious fried chicken from the Coo Cluck's Clan down the street and... ohhh I see the problem.

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Like Kompact Kar Korner? (real place)

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 5 months ago
[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

So they’re the same, but different?

[–] nezbyte@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago
[–] casmael@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah like the same, but different yeah

[–] mihnt@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

One has bite size chili dogs and the other doesn't. The only important difference.

[–] nezbyte@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Krystal appears to have the bite size chili dogs, not White Castle.

[–] mihnt@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, and here I am stuck in Michigan with no Krystals in sight.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Krystal has a little wiener.

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Loved Krystal Burger growing up. Seldom got a chance to eat there. Now I live in a place without them.

Of course it was bad for me, but at least it tasted really good. Fast food now is unhealthy and most of it tastes like dogshit. Which is probably a good thing as it keeps me away.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you haven't, try white castle. It reminds me of trips with my grandma.

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I will keep that in mind!

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Gotta shout out the Jersey City White Mana, inventor of the slider. Possibly. That's what they say at least. I don't know.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I went there a few weeks ago before a trip to Manhattan and it was legitimately great. Reminded me of Montreal's DicAnn's.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How would you compare it to In-N-Out?

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Completely different style of burger. White Castles are little sliders that are cooked by steaming them. You can buy them in a 30 pack if you want.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They're also pretty gross tasting with a 90% chance of diarrhea afterward. In N Out is more like McDonalds with a tiny menu and better quality ingredients.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I think more accurate is that White Castle has an incredibly polarizing flavor. More than almost anywhere else I've ever eaten, people either love it (some even become devotees and will travel across multiple state lines to get it, and their Valentine's Day special event books up months ahead of time) or they hate it (as, apparently, you do). It's almost exactly 50/50. There might be like 1% of people who are like, "yeah, I mean, it's ok."
