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.

Wait... Wasn't The Big Bang Theory about a guy named Leonard?
Maybe I should check out that show after all...
Leonard Bernstein has entered the chat...
I bow before thee Lord Leonard. Bestow your blessings of orgies with MILFS, cougars, and sugar mommies upon me. 🛐
There’s another one named Maurice, who’s in charge of procuring drugs for said orgies.
He also speaks of the pompetus of love.
Man, demons have the best parties.
they have succubus and incubus, so horny demons too.
three-horned goat
Oh, so he's horn-y.
... I'll see myself out.
You can disable this demon by throwing pudding into his eye
He should have shown up on Buffy - Leonard and Spike would have gotten along great!
the GOAT
Is that where we get horny goat weed?
Anyone have any advice on which Dictionnaire Infernal is the most entertaining? Any with good illustrations?
No idea, sorry. This was just a random, amusing thing I learned today on QI that I verified / linked on Wikipedia.
Finally, I know who to complain to.
I wish people would learn that gods, angels, and demons aren't real.
If we as a society could get beyond magical thinking, we could make some real progress as a species.
Someone has clearly never been to an orgy hosted by Master Leonard.
Zero people in these comments section actually believe that he's a real entity
I don't believe in God, but I believe in Leonard!
Yes, but people enjoy the mythology from an academic POV.
I enjoy the stories, but that's all they are.
People take their yahweh mythology way too seriously.
I kind of see mythology as people trying to make sense of the world and themselves. Our hopes and fears and why things happen. We don't think of it in terms of gods anymore, but we're still affected by the history of religion and philosophy. We can say we've abandoned all these lies about supernatural beings, but I wonder to what degree we're still operating within the framework it provided.
Y'all muthafuckas need Leonard.
