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.

Why is he wearing shoes on his hands?

Essentially Sports is a made for advertising SEO gamer site. They don’t produce any significant content.

Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg not only is a media giant but also a sporting fanatic. While everyone is aware of his love for combat sports, only a few know about his interest in surfing. Like Meta has a knack for launching a new update every once in a while, its maker has a fondness for surfing treacherous waves intermittently. Interestingly, paddling into the ocean helps Zuckerberg stay focused.

Jesus. What a ham-handed PR piece. He has billions, but hires Temu PR for his humanization campaign. What a complete jackass.

android needs to learn how to mimic HUMAN behaviour.

They do appear to call him "The Eye of Sauron" so, maybe the person writing this wasn't really interested in making him look good and phoned it in.

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

They also call him Zukerberg at least twice.

He really went hard on the sunblocker because everyone knows that lizards love the sun.

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

He thought it would make an insellable picture. He was wrong. He's gone the Madonna route, and wears the same clothes when he's not wanting to be photographed.

I expected to hear an older British man say: "And here, we can see the pale water lizard riding the waves, in hopes of finding friends. So far, the efforts have been in vain."

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

I know the voice I'm hearing it in

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"In 2022, the Eye of Sauron opened up about the reasons he surfs every morning."

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

If he's the Eye, who's the Mouth? Musk?

Instead of Gandalf the grey there's Bernie the Blue

I heard for night routine but day???

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly, there is nothing to learn in this

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Zuckerberg surfs every morning right before he indulges in his complicated work algorithms, reports the New York Post. Now obviously being an IT giant comes with a casket full of responsibilities

Dressing up as a thicc Geosha Surfer every morning helps Zuck deal with his daily casket of problems.

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

he puts on a new human synthetic mask on his android chassis everyday you mean

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

complicated work algorithms

Pour more billions into VR!!!! ONE OF THESE DAYS IT HAS TO PAY OFF1!1!!

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

Whatever dude. They're complicated. You couldn't understand.

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

Hey i like vr, I think it's neat that we had a billionaire pour liquid money on it and make a shit ton of r&d, even if it still hasn't become a breakthrough killer platform.

I think it shows spine.... Or something.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I like VR too! But all those billions aren't going into R&D, they are going into their shitty "metaverse" & exclusivity deals for VR content providers. Meta is just trying to capture the VR market before it properly gets going, so they have a revenue stream like Google & Apple.

That's very bad for the future of VR. If they succeed, it will massively dampen the market of possible ventures, and will ensure one of the worst companies on the planet gets even more personal information from everyone.

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

Zuck has been nothing but terrible for the state of VR. Oculus was doing fine before Facebook bought them, and since then all they've contributed is trying to fragment the ecosystem.

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

Nah the Quest 3 (and I'd argue still the 2) is easily the best headset on the market right now.

Nothing else comes close to the features, quality, and most importantly the price.

You can hate meta and Facebook and the zucc all you want but they are doing legitimate really really cool things with VR
