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.

It's a straw man / non issue.

In Germany are public places marked as FKK (Freikörper Kultur = Full Nudity in Public), which are literally normal areas without any special consideration in terms of visibility. Best case: There is a sign notifying the squeamish that there could be Nudity... normal Case: No one gives a fuck.

Heck, the best public baths are the sauna/thermal baths with are mandatory nude, age restriction 16+....

It has no sexual meaning .. you go there, everyone is naked after 10 seconds of slight awkwardness, you forget about it and enjoy the freedom of "no cold and wet swimwear" on the body.

It's great!

I doubt Americans are different in that perspective.

Edit: Perverts won't have fun there. The people are average and mostly old and the behavior is casual. It's like seeing your mom or dad naked. The few People who could get off on this have issues.

Lmao

That's all I came to say

exactly, we're so regressive here that some parents just never even talk to their children about sex or their bodies because they are too ashamed to bring up the topic. nudity in public would not go over well

Right. This dude doesn't realize that if women did this in America dudes would be just non stop staring or straight up grabbing a handful walking by and shit. It's disgusting but it's the truth or America.

Not every dude would do this obviously but there are a selection of scumbags who most certainly would.

But I thought they love "freedom" over everything?

You didn't experience freedom when you never took a thermal bath and grilled your balls in the sun... :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

"freedom" as in "free to economic growth" but not "free" as in "free to do what you want"

Hey I'm not saying you're wrong about that lol But America is full of hypocrisies.
