Somewhat apropos I recommend watching Adam Curtis' take on what he calls Oh Dearism:
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:
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.

It's God's fault unless the devil did it. Those idiots have an excuse for literally everything.
You'll change your mind you are older.
Been hearing that one for over 15 years and it hasn't gotten any less wrong.
The cliche probably seems pretty wrong now, but you'll change your mind when you're older
My parents.
I realize now, that if an adult non-ironically says this, then it's likely they are the ones that will never learn.
Used to get this all the time for over 10 years from a relative only 3 years older than me. We don't talk anymore.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
And don't call me Shirley.
And my axe!
Calm down Gandalf!
I'd like a list of self-forgiving-for-being-a-piece-of-shit phrases. Example: "I just tell it like it is", "tough but fair", etc.
It is what it is
It’s what it’s.
I hate you for putting this poison out into the land.
I use this one myself, but only as a statement of a fact that i cant change, not to just dismiss thing us dint want to deal with.
For example: a co-worker complaining about something going wrong on a project and at some point i have to say 'it is what it is' (or something of similar effect) and say that as much as that sucks, its out of our control and we need to deal with finding a solution because bitching aint gunna make the problem un-fuck itself.

Bless your heart.
So say we all.
Here's an example: "Israel has a right to defend itself"
Damn that's crazy
Agree to disagree
👍
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
What can you do.
That's nice.
Come back again when you have less time.
