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.

The World Trade Center was destroyed by Al Quaeda terrorists. There's a lot of evidence which suggests many wealthy people knew it would happen beforehand and made moves to profit from it.
A massive amount of extremely high-risk puts were purchased against the only two airlines involved in the attacks. Every one of them ended paying out.
There's also the fact that Building 7 and the section of the Pentagon targeted by the attacks were storing the evidence and personnel involved in the world's largest financial crimes investigations.
The conspiracy isn't what happened, it's who knew it would happen and who benefitted from it.
Sad. You have fallen for some weird twist on the common conspiracy story. I’ve checked them all; there’s no evidence, it’s just stupid to believe this shit. Grow up, man, don’t get distracted from living a sane, productive life.
Yes, I'm aware of what the official report says. The FBI only concluded they couldn't prove any connection to terrorism.
Every mathematician and data analyst the SEC hired to look at the trades said they were indistinguishable from trades made on advance knowledge. Despite this, the SEC concluded in their findings the trade patterns were "coincidence". To this day, the portions of the report detailing the SEC's basis for their conclusion remains classified or so heavily redacted as to only offer conclusionary information.
So, the SEC looked at all the evidence indicating advance knowledge, handwaved it, said it didn't actually mean exactly what the experts said, then provided "trust me bro" as their only source. To me, that's about as believable as Epstein killing himself. But if that's good enough to count as proof in your mind, go ahead and believe what you want, no judgment from me.
The only sad thing here is how you treat people you disagree with.
The sad thing with you conspiracy theorists is that you pick some internet factlet and build an entire world on top of it and THEN everything else is made to fit. It’s due to a lack of Critical Thinking-ability (very prevalent in the USA). This also means that you can’t think critically about your own decisions in your daily life - e.g. healthcare or finances. The good news is that Critical Thinking can be learned; also later in life. So instead of digging into nonsense stories about the SEC and 911, start reading on Critical Thinking; it will make you a more successful, healthier, happier human being.
