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.

As a fan of The Pretty Reckless, this was a fun TIL! I had no idea

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 month ago

I wish I heard of them before. She has an amazing voice.

[–] Default_Defect@anarchist.nexus 31 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I annoy everyone around me by telling them this fun fact EVERY SINGLE TIME her band plays on the radio.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Same, as well as the fact that she was almost Hannah Montana, and is glad she didn't get the role

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago

I only listen to 90s rock. "TELLL ME, we belong together... just as eyes see"

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

In that context, it would have been kind of funny if they'd called the band The New Lou Who, and done a few covers of songs by The Who.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 month ago

I feel that would be a great movie for her, if she ever acts again.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

played in the 2000 movie*

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Coincidentally, I just discovered them yesterday. Her voice is INCREDIBLE. If you’re a rock fan, check ‘em out.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

Seeing her in Oct.

[–] stochasticity@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She also performed "Where are you Christmas?" at the rose parade this year.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

Fuck the rose parade, horns sideway! I wish I caught it live.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They're pretty fucking solid too.

Hard rock, with the occasional harder or softer tracks.

A few of my favorites

Not in any particular order, just a handful from the playlist.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

Very impressed by her voice and the music is great.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 1 month ago

I saw her live and it was a pretty disappointing set. She was very noticeably intoxicated.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do they have a song called "Boboo Boris?"

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No clue? Her last cd had her dressed in a christmas setting.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

I was half-joking, TBC. Technically, the original song's title was "Welcome Christmas," and I wouldn't exactly expect a band trying to be any kind of hip to perform it:
