What a lovely website. Welcoming colors, simple navigation, no ad infestation. Has all the early internet charm but without the hyperbole.

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.

I, on the other hand
You're obviously a robot.
It is utter cancer on my phone and I can't read the white on yellow.
You have some sort of dark mode/reader on which is making the text white.
Took me a minute to find it, but thanks. However, I still can't seem to change the text size and I feel like it isn't very accessible. I couldn't get the text size buttons to work on the webpage either. At least I could zoom in and scroll everywhere. I am using Vivaldi.
Including the table layout we don't do anymore since the 2000's, because it doesn't scale at all.
Goofy ahh website but i like it
Well it is a battle because our stupid ass species evolved huge ass heads without changing the size of the birth canal...
Footage of the event:
Whoa what a throwback
Well, or because we became bipods and made the birth canal smaller
Righteous
Well, child mortality rate was really high before modern medicine. No wonder many cultures exalt the process of birth.
Maternal mortality wasn't quite a Holocaust until they started having women give birth in hospitals without germ theory so nobody was washing their fucking hands and the doctors were reaching up there to check on the placenta and killing loads of women with puerperal sepsis. 18 percent maternal mortality rate at the time, when 300 years in the past (based on church records of births and deaths) it was closer to 3 percent.
Still true that birth is more dangerous in humans.
Based Aztecs
Ok I keep seeing that used everywhere what does based mean?
It means that have opinions or ideals that are just that good and worth looking up to.
So basically what "Woke" used to mean before it became a Right Wing buzzword
Spartans were very similar.
Sounds very Klingon.
Conversely, Mussolini reportedly said that war is to men what childbirth is to women
Didn't Sparta have a similar belief as far as honoring women who died in childbirth equally to men who died in battle?
Similar thing actually happened in early Islaam, except it was for deaths from epidemic instead of childbirth. That one being because a shitton of Mohammed's original faithful had died of plague during the initial campaigns of the faith.
TIL Trump has no Aztec heritage.
Jesus, they needed soap.
