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.

Dollar coins could make for a lucrative show.
My mom once told me a story.
Back in her college days, which would have been in like.. idk the 70s? She and her catholic college girlfriends would donate blood and go drinking, because the smaller volume of blood made them get drunk faster.
They would then go to the male dancer strip club, and put quarters in the dancers g-strings to see if they could make it fall down.
She never said whether they succeeded or not..
But coins as tips for dancers are banned in clubs now because they are a major falling hazard. Especially for dancers in nosebleed heals with little ground-contacting surface area. You’ll definitely get tossed out of you try it
I no joke had a stripper respond to me saying I’m out of dollars by saying ‘oh it’s ok honey you can make it hail’
She was hilarious
So in Alberta its a common game for the stripper to hold a shot glass or similar in her buttcheeks or in front of her pussy and have people try to get Toonies in the glass (2$ coin, lower values will get you kicked out eventually) winners are rewarded with a fridge magnet or poster with her image.
