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.

It actually isn't a movie, it's a Broadway musical that was filmed and released without a cinematic release. If you knew anything about cinema or the English language you'd know that, but you're too obsessed with making me look like an asshole to think about it rationally.
I think they were gaslighting you...
*gas lamping
It’s actually based on a play, but yeah… “the gas lights aren’t flickering” is the original gaslighting
The film was nominated for a decent number of Oscars and won a handful iirc. Edit: womp, it went 2 for 7 at the Oscars.
I work in 911 dispatch, I had a call once upon a time, just an open line from a cell phone. Couldn't make any contact, just heard what sounded like a male and female arguing, it was hard to make out, sounded a little muffled. It didn't sound super heated but just enough enough that for liability reasons I felt like it should be checked out as a possible disturbance/domestic.
The cellular location was decent but not pinpoint accurate, and it dropped in the middle of a fairly densely populated area, so it could have been any of potentially a few dozen or so houses, apartments, or businesses. No answer when I called them back.
Entered the call with whatever information I had, and checked where the location was dropping on Google maps.
It was dropping at a small local playhouse. Out of curiosity I checked what shows they were doing.
It was Gaslight.
Police checked the area and didn't find anything. So I'm pretty sure I was just listening to them rehearsing from inside of an actor's pocket or something.
The five gas lights aren't flickering.
There are 4 lights
I don't know what you are talking about. I can't find it on IMDB.
I see what you are trying to do
I love the implied skepticism here
this is an interesting art installation
It’s also two movies.
Everyone should watch it to understand a term that’s overused.
