Today I Learned @lemmy.world TriflingToad @sh.itjust.works TIL "NA" in videogames is short for 'North America' and not 'Non Applicable'
I feel SO dumb right now 😭
I was watching a counterstrike video (I don't play CS) and the youtuber said "...who is one of the best North America players..." while a statistics page showed kill/death, win/loss, etc. But it also showed "NA". This along with the verbal "North America" was enough for the very lazy neurons in my brain finally make a basic connection that those two things are connected. I always assumed it just meant "somewhere we don't have an abbreviation for" or "location private" or something.

Today I Learned @lemmy.world ERROR: Earth.exe has crashed @lemmy.dbzer0.com TIL that some Korean-Americans who were adopted from South Korea when they were children, were deportable to South Korea because their adoptive parents never filed for their citizenship status.
There have been several high-profile cases of deportation of Korean adoptees from the United States. Prior to the passage of the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, the adoptive parents of adoptees had to file for their child to naturalize before the age of 16. Many parents were unaware of this requirement, assuming that their adopted children automatically derived citizenship from them, and therefore did not apply. The Child Citizenship Act sought to remedy this issue by extending citizenship to all international adoptees who were under 18 at the time that the bill was passed, but did not apply retroactively. This left those adopted by American families prior to 1983 vulnerable to deportations.
From the 1950s through 1991, a plurality of international adoptees came from South Korea. Koreans are the largest group of adoptees in the U.S. It has been estimated that as many as 20% of adult Korean adoptees are at risk of deportation. Many of the vulnerable adoptees suffered from a l

It has been alleged that some inmates are deliberately sent to incorrect destinations as an exercise of diesel therapy.[2]Voluntary surrender at the prison where the inmate will serve his time is recommended as a way of avoiding diesel therapy.[3]

Today I Learned @lemmy.world soumerd_retardataire @lemmy.world TIL that Hulagu Khan, who destroyed Baghdad and the Abassid califate in 1258, may have never done so without the christian demands.
That's the event when the river turned black from the ink of all the hundreds of thousands of books now definitely lost. The reason why we only have a few works of the greatest minds of Islam's Golden Age.
His grandfather, Gengis Khan, defeated the muslim Khwarezmian empire 37 years earlier in 1219-1221, but didn't go as far as the Abassid califate.
His mother was christian, as well as his general for this conquest, Kitbuqa. There were other influences, including among advisors and in his army.
It happened soon after the end of the crusader states, so the christians wanted a revenge(, even if they were treated much more humanely by Saladin than when the crusaders or the mongols killed most of the cities' inhabitants).
It is said that Baghdad's entire muslim population was killed, with estimates ranging from 200.000 to 1 million. Only the city’s christian community was spared.
It is also said that the islamic civilization could have definitively ended after Hulagu's conquest of -

Today I Learned @lemmy.world pelespirit @sh.itjust.works TIL - Elon Musk's granddad did some weird stuff in Canada
“An ‘Invisible Government,’ working to carry out the objectives of the International Conspiracy, is operating in every country,” he wrote in his book The International Conspiracy in Health, which was published in the mid-1960s. In it, he also said the conspiracy was pushing for the fluoridation of water supplies, mandatory milk pasteurization and mass vaccination programs.
“He never had any person that would be considered a spiritual guide,” Scott Haldeman told CBC in an email. “He felt he knew the Bible better than any minister and only went to church for weddings and funerals.”
After Technocracy, Haldeman decided he would start his own political party, Total War and Defence. In his 1941 book, Total War and Defence for Canada, which was his manifesto for this new party, he argued for a policy of total conscription to support our British allies during the Second World War.
He called for the conscription of “every employable man and woman between the ages of sixteen and sixty” and “a
