artifex@lemmy.zipto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that in 1959, the CIA secretly stole and reverse-engineered a Soviet moon probe during a public exhibition in Mexico City.English6·2 months agoThanks for posting the summary. I originally thought it was going to be something like that James Bond movie where the nose cone of the rocket opens up and “eats” the satellite.

artifex@lemmy.zipOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the first use of the term "brain rot" was in Henry David Thoreau's WaldenEnglish2·2 months agoYes, but you can medicate ADHD. There’s no entry in the DSM for brain rot (yet).
artifex@lemmy.zipOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the first use of the term "brain rot" was in Henry David Thoreau's WaldenEnglish8·2 months agoAgreed. I think I’m fairly well read and I’ve worked through a decent number of philosophical texts, but I’ve never finished Walden.
So pleased whenever I run across a lemmy-specific comic or meme. Makes me feel like we really made it.
I know we’re all here for the LOLs, but just a quick reminder: it’s ok to enjoy things without being able to monetize them.
For anyone who checks the comments I have a question unrelated to the content - when you see an article like this that you know has incorrect information, do you tend to upvote (to give visibility to the corrected info in the comments) or downvote it (because it’s incorrect in the first place)?
