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.

The power of the sun....in the palm of your hand....
Came here for this.
it is perfectly safe unless maybe you were drinking liquid tritium for a few weeks.
Don't tell me what to do! I do what I want!!! Also....unrelated.....but I think I'm going to go lie down for a bit.
Big Carol/Cheryl energy 😄
If Carol/Chyrol/Charlene were a real person, I'd absolutely fall in love with her......probably as she burns my house down.
Name checks out
Since when is it illegal to sell tritium in the US? Gun companies selling tritium glow in the dark sights all the time.
Actually now that you mention it I think you are half right after looking into it more.
It does seem like it is actually heavily regulated and not necessary illegal, but I guess this would mean illegal for unlicensed people to sell.
If I had to guess most sellers in the us with tritium in their products aren't selling tritium but rather selling procured items with tritium and thats probably a legal workaround for that.
They are like glow sticks that last for 10 years, it is perfectly safe unless maybe you were drinking liquid tritium for a few weeks.
Now there is nothing I want to do more than drinking the forbidden heavy water
Deuterium is heavy water. Tritium is morbidly obese water
I want to mix it with lube for a freaky radioactive sex party with me and my hand.
Did.....did you not notice the username?
Mmmm heavy…
Aren't there tritium gun sights?
I have a few.
I've have one on my keychain for years, it's great. Not visible during the day, but just bright enough at night to make them easy to spot.
Other gadgets as well. For instance, this knife. (Plug.)
Not even a big knife guy and I love these posts.
Ooh do you work for glow rhino?
Certainly not.
In fact, no knife or gadget manufacturer has yet seen fit to pay me to shill their stuff. Which is a bummer.
I used to work with someone bearing the last name of "Leatherman." They similarly lamented their lack of association with the company sharing their name.
The Leatherman tool company is indeed named after its creator's last name, which is also of course "Leatherman."
I know we all like to joke about that Tim Apple guy calling the shots and fucking everything up all the time at the iPhone-and-computer company, but the owner and founder of the Leatherman Tool Group is literally Tim Leatherman.
Oh, sure, many companies are named after their founder's surnames - I didn't mean to suggest I doubted that. I just meant that the Leatherman I knew was unassociated.
The "Tim" fact is pretty funny. Thank you for the information.
Ohh I think I got confused when you mentioned plug, I guess you meant linking to your post
I have the glowrhino prybar on my keychain for 4 years now.
It's actually one of the more useful thing I've kept on my body.
I had one a few years back but my necklace broke and I lost it. It was neat, I should get a new one.
I have one of these that’s about 6 or 7 years old at this point and still glowing alright. Pretty neat little things!
I love the one on my keychain — usually forget it’s there until I’m somewhere so dark that it suddenly it lights up the entire door handle.
