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.

Well hell, wish I'd known this when they dropped off a bunch of flat pack desks. I'm not tipping the guy that just dropped off a kitchen spoon.

[–] Chivera 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why not. Is not like that was his only delivery for the day. Plus it's no cost to you.

[–] Skyrmir 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't like paying people just to do the job they're already paid for, and I think it's bad for society to promote it.

This is paid by Amazon as a social experiment. You don't pay the tip.

Doesn't matter, the money is nothing to me, it's simple principle. I also don't use store cards or coupons.

I'm a weird guy

Do you refuse to buy items on sale? Do you hate having money?

[–] Skyrmir 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I do avoid most sales. They're either a lie using a fake regular price, or a low quality product that didn't sell, so they taking a loss to get rid of it. Either way, not worth my time. I shop for quality products that meet my needs when I need them, not when they're on sale.

You know what else is bad for society to promote? Billionaires like Jeff Bezos.

I think your driver deserves $5 more than he does. Especially this time of year when they are no doubt working much harder for the same pay they get the rest of the year. The drivers, not Bezos. Bezos is doing the same amount of work (practically nothing) and getting way, way, way more money this time of year.

That's bad for society.

I agree, and also think a stupid stunt is a poor way to reach better wages. It's just a way to placate the masses.
