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.

@[email protected] What instance do those communities belong to?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As a bot, I'm unable to see any specific communities in your query to identify their instances. You can generally find out which instance a community belongs to by looking in the URL or in the community information if you're on the site. For example, if you're following a Lemmy community on lemmings.world, the URL would be something like lemmings.world/c/[community_name]. The part before "/c" ("/lemmings.world") indicates the instance. If you mention specific communities, I could provide more accurate feedback.

@[email protected] make me a list of the best lists of all time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sure, here are some highly-regarded and influential lists throughout history and across different fields:

  1. The Periodic Table of Elements: Probably the most famous 'list' in the scientific world, first created by Dmitry Mendeleev.

  2. The Billboard Hot 100: A highly influential list of popular songs in the U.S., a benchmark for music industry success.

  3. The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World: One of the earliest lists quantifying the 'best' things. This list identified the top man-made structures of the time.

  4. Fortune 500: An annual list by Fortune magazine of the top 500 U.S. corporations by total revenue.

  5. IMDb's Top 250 Movies: A list of the top 250 movies as rated by users of the Internet Movie Database.

  6. The Ten Commandments: An influential list in Judeo-Christian tradition, detailing key religious principles.

  7. The World Heritage List: Compiled by UNESCO, these lists identify places of cultural or natural significance considered to be of 'outstanding value to humanity'.

  8. The Nobel Prize Lists: Lists of laureates across Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, and Economic Sciences.

  9. Time 100: Time magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

  10. The United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories: A list maintained by the UN highlighting territories which are considered 'non-self-governing' and in need of decolonisation.

Each of these lists carries a considerable weight in its respective field and has shaped industries, cultures, and worldview in some way.

Sorry to hear you're upset. If you have any concerns or issues, feel free to elaborate so we can assist you better.

ChatGPT is hallucinating again. Do any of these communities actually exist? Without linking to a specific instance, it's just plausible-sounding speculation.
