Today I Learned
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.

Found the Psych 101 student.
I would defy anyone to distinguish between the smirk the article describes - "a half-smile where one side of the lip lifts slightly" from the google definition of smirk - "a facial expression characterized by a subtle, often one-sided, upward curving of the mouth, often without showing teeth."
Better yet, how about those of us who smirks or half smile because we had bad teeth when we were younger?
Growing up poor with no dental visits or appropriate dental care products and trash food being bought = narcissist now?
This is such a subjective quality to judge its just asinine.
The dude just needed to publish SOMETHING for his grant yall. Lol
Hmm.. both definitions mention one side of the lip, but not which side. We can only hope that the good smirks are all on one side of the mouth, whereas the bad smirks are all on the other side.
Good catch! The internet loves simpe rules for whether somebody deserves a black hat or a white hat without pesky details like a thought process.
That's my standard smile, unless I'm really smiling big.
Hello again narcissist, I'll be explaining the difference for others who come along.
The 'Duper's Delight' reaction is distinct as it is actually an extension of our prehistoric predatory behavior of stalking, the facial rictus exposes the teeth for biting and widens the eyes for pouncing. This is why it is almost impossible to suppress, as it is a very very ancient instinct. Also an antisocial instinct, one that unsettles other non-narcissists. Other stalking predators like big and domestic cats also display the same behavior almost identically, the exposed teeth and the pulled back eyelids. It's all hunting behavior
What sets it apart for narcissists is that your complete lack of empathy means you see no issue using stalking behavior on basically anyone as you don't see anyone else as actually human.
The 'grin at justice done' is a group communal agreement sign, the nod that what had to be done was done.
It is a social instinct, one that narcissists will never understand, like the shared yawn. Everyone in the group recognizes it and echoes it
You know flying off the handle when questioned might be a bigger sign of narcissism than a smirk I'm beginning to think.
No, that's just my IEDS wow you are a shitty armchair psychologist
Better a shitty psychologist than a fucking pathetic degenerate so willing to judge others on shit they demonstrably do not understand. Genuinely, fuck you.
"I read about psychology on the internet, so I can read peoples' minds"
Some us have degrees, funny boy
All doctors have degrees, yet nobody with common sense would say trust all doctors without doubt. Some would even say a doctor that tries to diagnose people through a few comments online are definitely in the category of those that shouldn't be trusted.
Hmm, looks like you're comment stalking me. Taking care of that right the fuck now.
Delusional
I'm comment stalking you by replying to two of your comments in the same thread? Really? Don't flatter yourself, bro. That is textbook narcissistic behaviour you're showing right there.
What's the thing Elon does where he keeps his head lower, but looks up at the most extreme angle-of-eyeballs he can?
can you show me an example I try to avoid looking at him in general
It's interesting that you engage in attacks and then ask for a discussion. (I wonder if me saying that will cause you to again say found the psych 101 student.)
The attack is warranted. Seriously, the article you posted is about as reliable as an astrology chart.
I was wrong to call you the Psych 101 student, since you weren't doing the Psych 101 student behavior I described. "They're not the same thing" is more of a typical social media comment from someone who simply likes to argue, as you're continuing to do. Not interested.
typical narcissist behavior
Typical POS behavior.
