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.

Huh, I figured it was to protect the throat since we don't have fur.
So humans are also the only animal that can hear chin music?
To enable the Habsburg dynasty.
Of course we know why. So that evolution could result in the universe's most perfect being.
The "spandrel hypothesis" is the front runner explanation. Essentially we didn't evolve to have chins but rather evolved other things that are helpful, and the chin is a byproduct of that other evolution. Not harmful so it didn't get selected away, but not helpful.

But why did we evolve a hook & loop clasp to hold the top of our skull closed?
I hear some people are born with just a solid skull with no hinges, it makes me so uncomfortable.

Idk, I was assured that pigs had a Chinny-chin-chin.
Growing up half Japanese I could never help laughing at that story as chinchin means penis in Japanese, and I think everyone should share in this amusement.

TIL chins are only chins because they stick out. I had always considered the front of a lower jaw to be a "chin".
In other words some people really have no chin...
If I am not mistaken, according to the grammatical scrolls, having a chin makes everyone .. chinese

TIL LeafyIsHere isn't human after all...
I figure walking upright made being hit from below more common, necessitating thicker bones to protect the very sensitive nerves of the jaw.
This is why it bothers me when artists add chins to animalistic characters. It looks so wrong. An example:
Like, shit. Cool character design but you gave the cat lady a chin. Cats don't have chins, why did you give her a chin?
You're complaining about a chin on an anthropomorphic cat woman that only has 2 breast's instead of 6 to 8...
Based and put-more-titties-on-that-cat pilled
They don't have opposable thumbs, go into night clubs, walk bipedally or have those wing things either, why is it the chin that bothers you?
That character is mostly a cat skinned human.

Isn't the point of this art to be an anthropomorphic cat? In that case, the chin is appropriate

Would you mate with somebody who didn't have a chin? Chins are sexy.

If other animals don't have chins, they're using a weird definition of chin.
I just read here this morning, that beards are for protection of the neck...
I was gonna say elephants have chins too, as I'm re-watching old QI seasons and they brought up this fact, but upon further research their chins aren't true chins with a bony protrusion.
