Today I Learned
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.

California is doing reparations. So tax dollars are being used to pay reparations how is that no evidence?
DEI hires happened and there was a number that companies needed to hit and other people lost out for the simple reason of race.
Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard happened so....it's not "not happening"
I don't care how old my account is I'm going to bring another side to the story now since you all have just heard one side for so long here.

Reparations.... A state that never had slaves is paying with taxes from people who never owned slaves....like it's happening I don't understand how you say that.
My people were slaves, where are my reparations?
Oh man, I’m exhausted of your comments.
You mentioned;
None of what you just wrote gives any evidence to your previous claims.
you’re talking about DEI as if the right wing party made that happen but it’s the opposite
The full list of US universities at risk of losing state department funding over DEI support
This is from the article above;
Keep in mind the article is from November 2025 which means the right-wing party is in charge.
-text between to avoid mix up-
I do because usually several old days accounts are usually trolls or.. like you; claiming stuff which are not (entirely) true
Like I mentioned earlier, you never gave any evidence of the claims you made before and try to change subjects (reparations, slavery and DEI). Zero mentions nor evidence about your claim of; “the far right is not racist and not white supremacy”.
So, yeah. I’m out, I’ll block you so I don’t have to see your baseless comments.
