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.

Cool I just was there in July. Pic for proof. Unfortunately never did got check out gift shop because by time we finished the trail around the mountain it was closed. But it was an awesome experience.

Thanks for your contribution to the conversation and your share. Great pic!

You're nice. It's nice.

That looks ai generated /s

There’s a cinema in Munich that does the same with The Rocky Horror Picture Show

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

There are a lot of theaters that have regular Rocky Horror showing. Which combined I think would easily surpass this. Unfortunately, the article doesn't say when they started screening it, but I know Rocky Horror showing that go back in the 90s.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly the statistic is absurd. A Chinese film that's required to be played in schools probably has more screenings.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

"One of the most" does a lot of the lifting there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

As far as I know they go back to the original release and it has the record for the movie staying in theater the longest

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago (3 children)

i haven't seen it yet. i have a sort of obsession with order so i'll watch it only after watching close encounters of the first kind and close encounters of the second kind.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Those are super rare and hard to find. You might try eBay.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

At least that means you'll never watch Movie 43.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

i'm still waiting for the first rock from the sun!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Best answer yet lol

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That makes sense.

The location is predominately for tourists, since its a campground.

Id be annoyed if I lived in a neighborhood where the theater only played one movie every single day for a year. Which... actually happened during the pandemic. 😭

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Now ok you got me wondering what was the movie during the pandemic?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why would a theater be open during the pandemic?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Same answer as always. Money

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you've never been, Devil's Tower is a pretty cool thing to see in person. South Dakota is a great place to visit. Just don't ever move there. As a State to live in, the Dakotas only come in suck and suckier. I mean at least it's not the Deep South, but still.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But have you been to walldrug?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Where the HECK is WALL DRUG?

And an honorable mention goes to the Corn Palace.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Spent a night there with "Suntrek" company (probably no longer exists) mid 90s and watched the movie open air. The best part was to see devil's tower in the movie, then turn your head to the right & look at the real thing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Devils Tower is really cool.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Literally, watching movie as I read this.

Kid’s about to get hit by Roy’s truck….

Stupid fucking kids.

I don't know what a KOA is,
and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

Kampgrounds of America. A chain of commercial campgrounds that provide things like RV hookups and such at various sites.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

It's a campground chain in the US.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Thanks for posting this; it brings back lots of happy memories for me. I camped there many times as a kid back in the 90s, and the whole family loved watching the movie. Such a cool place to visit. I love Wyoming!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

A Cinema in Vienna still play "The third man" as their last showing of the day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Was there around 2015. Looks like they upgraded the system since then.

[–] catch22 2 points 3 months ago

Great post, thanks for sharing
