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.

But since its not a protected class I assume businesses can turn them away
Most businesses will turn away anyone shirtless, especially where health code violations come into play.
Yeah I’ve gone topless in cities where it’s legal before and you just need to bring a shirt if you plan on eating
Are tits really that unsanitary that you're going to infect a restaurant topless? I've got nipples, and I think they're cleaner than my hands because I didn't touch the door handle with my pecs.
How do YOU open doors???
I won't reveal this secret but I will tell you it's large and prehensile.
Not really, but it’s one of those things you need to be prepared to be asked to do. Many bars are cool with it though, even ones that are restaurants. I guess the whiskey disinfects the tits
Ah, got it.
Next time a restaurant gives me shit about being topless, I'll just dip a rag in some whiskey, rub my nipples with it, and say "there! Are you happy? And proceed to place my order"
It's something you wouldn't have a problem with until you sat down in a booth and suddenly your back is covered in some shirtless person's sweat.
If its so hot they're sweating, the shirt would be wet and so would the chair
Right. "No shoes. No shirt. No service."
Which is fair. There's a difference between walking down the street topless and being inside a resteraunt.
Why is it not healthy for me to eat without a shirt again??
It's not healthy for others for you to eat without a shirt
Why?
Because (in your case) it would be vomit inducing!
🤣 Just joshing you.
If they allow it for men they might have to allow it for everybody.
Sex/gender is a protected class.
Shirted/Shirtless isn't
The entire point is, where men are allowed to do so.
Yes, but the nuance of the situation is selective enforcement.
Luckily, many of these explicitly allowed areas are resultant of lawsuits so there is precedent for those discriminated against.
