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:
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.

In other news, oil tycoons have already begun making as much propaganda as possible as to why the world needs Antarctic oil for your car and why it's more environmentally friendly than any other source of fuel.
I'd say /s but I'm pretty sure they're still putting out pro oil propaganda because their lives and riches depend on destroying the planet.
**ANTARTIC OIL! GET YOUR ANTARCTIC OIL FROM ANTARCTICA TO KEEP YOUR ENGINE COOL. ENGING RUNNING HOT? KEEP IT COOL, WITH ANTARTIC OIL! **
I'm not sure I would trust human oil hunger with a 10ft pole on that one.
I'll fix it for you:
I'm not sure I would trust human oil hunger as far as I could throw a 10 ft pole.
Oh no
ANTARTICA!!!!!! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FREEDOM!!!!
GODBLESS AMERICA RAAAAH 🗣🗣🔥🔥
"climate change is actually good because it'll melt all this ice that's in the way of our oil!"
That's actually a real strategy by Russia. Since they have so few deep water ports for their Navy, if temperatures rise then they have new options in their far north territories.
"The more oil we use, the more ice we clear! The more ice we clear, the more oil to use! It's a never ending cycle of win!"
God is effing with us now.
I’ll see you all in anchorage in 2076
Why Anchorage??
fallout
Maybe that's the last place we'll have oil after everything else is drained? Or maybe some contract expiring that year
Oil in Antarctica? Hold on to your shorts boys, America is sending all the freedom!
guys i don't know about you but i have a feeling Antarctica needs some democracy right the fuck now.
Fucking Communist penguins leaving their children to fend for themselves! Do they have polar kangaroos up there in American soil? Let's defend it! The polar kangaroos are near extinction.
The black penguins and the white penguins are getting along a little too well, they need some social media
Man interesting but newsweek is a shit tier source
I saw a warning-documentary 2 weeks ago on the big-screen, it was called 'John Carpenter's The Thing'
Leave that shit well alone.
I was thinking the black oil from X-Files.
At least it turned out alright in the end!
Uh-oh!
Good, let's all make sure it stays right where it is
Ron Howard: They didn't.
It's Always Sunny theme music
FRANK MELTS ANTARCTICA
Instructions unclear, we started world war 3 over Antarctican resources.
