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.

That depends on what you're hunting. Whitetail deer? The deer use scent and hearing much more than visual. Birds? They can see more colors than us and camouflage is important.
Dick Cheney? Is that you? Homie? You never had to even make an excuse.
Which gets back to "why do you want to be hard to spot when people around you have guns". Unless we are now apparently saying that birds can see orange and actively ignore it like in the other branch.
I realize you're speaking from a position of ignorance, but yes birds can see orange. Even the states I checked nearby have an exception specific for waterfowl. It's also the reason their hunting seasons don't overlap.
From the Wisconsin DNR:
This thread is hilarious. People acting like experts about shit they know nothing about. I appreciate you engaging with these morons so I don't have to.
Yeah, it's a confidently incorrect situation for sure. That said, I agree with it being weird to wear camouflage if you're not in the military or hunting. It's kind of a poser thing to do. Like wearing a Harley Davidson shirt and not having a motorcycle.
tbf it is a kinda neat aesthetic, i ended up with a couple green camo tank tops because they were a good price and i kinda vibed with them.
like it is intended to look like nature at a distance, and i do like nature..
And even for specific hunting clothes, those will inherently be made to be warm and presumably comfortable, makes sense to buy it if you're gonna be out and about a lot for whatever reason.
At least here in sweden, a country that's like 70% forest by area, hunting stuff (aside from guns obviously) is very readily available.
