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.

Because Yoko Ono is a cunt. And I hate that word but completely describes her.
Yes I know John was very emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive to her.
Australians wouldn't agree with you on your stance on Yoko. She's too bad of a person.
From what I’ve seen I envy Australians on their creative uses of that word.
But it’s seems as if it’s usually not really a derogatory term there.
It's both. The way the first commenter used it was unambiguously "they're a fucking shit person". There has to be a qualifier for it to be positive.
"He's a good cunt"
Vs. She's a right cunt
Depends on how it's said and any adjectives.
John Lennon was abusive to his first wife, not Yoko.
I mean, if you're going to shoot someone five times, surely you have a bullet to spare.
I mean, I don't usually blame the victim, especially not in cases of domestic violence... but... she IS Yoko Ono
Please don’t encourage violence. DA is not a joke. It’s not funny.nor is it retribution. If you believe this please get some anger management in your life.
Then you know wrong, because he wasn't.
I don't know much about their family history. What did Yoko Ono do that warranted the domestic abuse?
Edit: Yeesh don't know why people are getting angry over a genuine question. I don't know much about celebrities and just asking why people here feel that her abuse was justified.
Nothing. Nobody "deserves" domestic abuse, if you feel like you need to hit your spouse out of anger it's probably best to just exit the relationship.
I apologize that this may not be a good answer. I don't know Yoko Ono and don't know much about her, but nobody deserves domestic violence.
I think people are misunderstanding my question. See: https://lemmy.world/comment/3216636
Why don’t you give us some examples of things that would warrant domestic abuse and we’ll try to find out if Yoko did them.
Nothing warrants domestic abuse because two wrongs don't make one right. I'm asking why people here feel otherwise.
