Today I Learned
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.

See the movie. It's terrific.
idk I try to avoid films of rape or incest
I think he meant “fuck them” as in “who cares about them”, as there is not incest or anything like that in Scrooged!
What are you talking about? It's a comedy version of A Christmas Carol with Bill Murray.
"I'll get away with it and fuck my family anyway"
First of all, I was talking about what the executives would be saying about themselves, it's not a line in the film. Secondly, it's a figure of speech.
They're saying "fuck my family" because Scrooge is reconciled with his loving nephew's family at the end of A Christmas Carol.
You just said "fuck my family" again
I hope understanding this concept helps you as you continue to explore our species' many cultures and languages before returning to your home planet.
Man, the stress of moving and the world in general must be really getting to you. They were just making a pun based on what you said. It might not have been a very good one , that's subjective, but the intent was clearly not malicious. It's pretty hard to give you the benefit of the doubt here, responding so pettily and meanly to something so innocuous. They even explained it for you. I'd probably have responded with a Wikipedia article on puns before blocking you entirely.
I hope things improve for you once you're in the UK.
That was not a pun.
A pun is a play on words. They were trying to play on your words. But ok, you're not receptive to the idea nobody was trying to do you harm and that it was just a joke. They definitely deserved your hostility, as do I. Please continue.
I'm seeing hostility here, but it doesn't seem to be coming from me since all I said to you was, "that was not a pun."
Oh, you weren't being hostile to me, I was just expecting it to come because I made comment. Here's the hostility:
Do you honestly think someone was or is trying to attack you here? That someone deliberately misreading part of a line you wrote, so they could make an incest joke, was malicious? I genuinely don't understand.
No, I honestly do not think that.
So then why did you feel justified in responding like that?
I guess I'm just a horrible aggressive person that just wants to fight.
Either that, or I genuinely thought they were confused.
Feel free to pick whichever one you think is true, because I have a feeling it doesn't actually matter which one I tell you.
You lot should relax. Here, some Mariah Carey Christmas love

You've read my story about that, haven't you?
If you genuinely thought they were confused, you could have led with that, but then that just makes your sarcastic cap-off comment even worse. That's how you speak to people you believe are confused? I don't buy it.
I'm disappointed this is how our interactions end. I think I'm upset with myself that I thought better of you, as well. Time for some self-reflection.
Well, if you don't consider your spouse to be family, then I suppose you shouldn't ever fuck your family. If you do consider your spouse to be family then, first, it's the only family you should literally fuck, and second, that is how you get more family.
