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.

I am aware of the chicanery cruise lines get up to, as well as the depravity that is commonplace on many American cruise lines. Oh, and emissions.
Apart from that, why should I avoid them?
What more reasons do you need lmao.
Also all of the shit goes into the water iirc
Any ship built in the last ten years has onboard waste processing facilities and water desalination plants. The only thing that goes back into the ocean is purified graywater, and ash. Plastics are stowed until they return to land.
The way the ships are built was drastically changed in the last decade because of the big lawsuits that Carnival got smacked within 2016 and 2019. There’s some pretty neat videos on YouTube about how Disney’s ships handle trash and human waste. It’s sorted better than most metropolitan waste companies.
Fair enough on that first point; not sure what the se one one means tho
My phone is borked and i didn't reread, sorry. I meant that all of the piss and shit just goes in to the water
Depravity? Like moral depravity? Like swinger cruises or concert cruises with lots of drugs? Or just indulgence in general and a lack of care on environmental and local economic impacts?
My point was regarding the former, but the latter certainly would be an issue for me too.
Most people go on vacations for the wrong reasons, if you ask me. There’s an opportunity to experience an entirely different culture and learn about how other people live, but a lot of people waste their time at a resort.
They suck.
Also explosive diarrhea
Pretty sure explosive diarrhoea is the opposite of sucking
