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.

If you are able to get a hold of the recipe, you could duplicate it without retribution.
Well, aside from it being illegal for any entity except Coke to handle one of the ingredients.
And what ingredient is that? 👀
The coke
You put the lime in the coke, YOU NUT!!!
And shake it all up.
Coca leaves. They're de-coked prior to use, but they're still a controlled substance. Coke has an exception built into the law that effectively makes them the only ~~country~~ company in the US that can access them (possibly outside of medical, I'm not really sure and don't care to check). There's not a lot in the drink anymore as it is, just enough to keep the name.
TIL Coca-Cola is a country in the US.
Ah yes, the Country of Coca-Cola. Located in Atlanta Georgia, Coca-Cola, 30313.
Look, I don't know how a country is located in a city, which itself is located in the country, which is located in the zip code.
I don't understand a lot of things in life! But I'll unrelentlessly believe every single thing I ever hear, from every single person who says anything! Surely theres no controlling party with an agenda that stands to gain power and influence by controlling the masses through a series of misinformation campaigns over the coarse of multiple generations spanning back nearly a centry ago......
Welp. See you all at the polls this Tuesday! What could POSSIBLY go wrong???
Yep, swipe input with midnight brain do be making those alternative facts. Thanks for pointing it out.
Not very surprising tbh. More reasonable even to call it a country than a person
