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.

The Article made it sound like hyped up "look at this thing and how unbelievable it is" while it is completely normal.

But I think I am ignorant regarding the issue in the US an I think I became a sex offender at least twice while visiting the US. ._.

Okay well I'm interpreting this as a joke lmao.

But if it's not then dude... You're a sex offender.

If there's one thing America gets right it's sex offender laws.

Well I always just change on the spot since I was little, maybe with a loose towel, but it literally just a fig leaf... when it drops, it drops.

But since I'm already a sex offender,... time to grab some pussy? (/s)

I wasn't saying you were a sex offender lol I meant if you did get charged legally it would be for good reason (99% of the time).

Wrongful charges do occur, of course, when a "victim" claims rape falsely and there isn't enough evidence to prove it didn't happen (which is the opposite of how it is supposed to be - innocent until proven guilty).

I have no oder how to know everything. There are so many laws for stuff I didn't even consider regulated, it's hard to know what's illegal and when.

Open container law, or that you can't exit the car and walk on the side of a highway... (the two things we actually got in trouble with, but the cops were chill to us 4 Germans, amused even when we told them we had no more fuel and didn't know what else to do / when a friend took his beer to the car to finish on the way home)

Next time we will do better

you can become a sex offender for peeing somewhere you shouldn't. i wouldn't hype up our sex offender laws that much.

I mean you shouldn't have your dick out in public so...
