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.

I made basically the same comment, and just now saw yours. Glanced to see who made it first out of curiosity.
Apparently we had the same thought at the same time. That's wild.
Who isn't thinking about Ferenginar at all times
That seems unprofitable, probably against some rule of acquisition or other.
Ngl, this article feels bloviating bordering on AI-generated and/or a padded high school essay. Here's the relevant Wikipedia article. For instance, by the way:
This event underscores the complex relationship between catastrophic environmental changes and evolutionary processes, offering valuable insights into the resilience and adaptability of life on Earth. [thank you, obligatory 'Conclusion' paragraph from all my phoned-in high school essays.]
The Carnian Pluvial Event, also known as the Carnian crisis, has left its mark in geological records across the globe, suggesting a widespread environmental impact. [no shit it had a widespread environmental impact??]
"Underscores the complex relationship" is classic AI slop writing. If I saw that phrase in a student essay I would roll my eyes and open the academic integrity report form.
Wow, you should not be a teacher then! Using a stock phrase is something that students are extremely likely to do as they read online content and learn to formulate their own voice. A single phrase can only be considered as extremely circumstantial evidence. You are not a reliable AI detection machine, regardless of what you may have convinced yourself of.
Btw, out of curiosity, what is your (or your school's) official policy on AI usage?
Carnian Pluvial Event
I had one of those in college after too many tamales and too much beer. It was quite embarrassing and also painful. I couldn't sit for days.
I know this story didn't happen because there's no such thing as "too many tamales".
Is that the one with corn and beef? I'm starving
I love this comment for contrasting the images of using the word "bloviating" and supposedly "phoning in" your high school essays. Oh, and saving me a crappy article read. Ty!
Inagine planning a BBQ and it starts raining for a million years. Smh
such is life in the UK
Huh, Earth was once Ferenginar
Imagine if humanity existed back then and the rain finally stopped? Like wtf is happening!!
Last time I complain about British weather (today at least)
I wonder what the biodiversity was like in that period.
wet
And lots of craft beer
the
WHAT
This made me laugh out loud for some reason
