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.

i believe that when society collapses utah is probably going to be better off than any other state because the church pushes it's members to have a lot of supplies at home and generally be ready to support each other.
it will be a gilead-like nightmare unless you're a white man but i see them doing more to prepare than just about any other organization.
Different societies do their food disaster planning differently. Instead of having a massive pile of nasty food storage cans no one wants to eat we have a big garden and a bunch of fruit trees. We eat it as it comes in, store just enough to get us to the next season, give what we make with it away liberally to our friends and neighbors, and if we're ever in a pinch we can get some from our friends and neighbors no questions asked. It's very communitarian. Also delicious. I'm not sure it would work so well in a desert, but I'll take advantage of the fantastic climate here while it lasts.
Yeah the people who will do the best in that scenario are the ones able to sustainably produce their own food not the ones with the biggest pile of preserved food. The Almost have the Mormons beat for "the weird American religious group that is most able to keep feeding themselves once America falls over.'
