YSK 11 US states have divided governments
>In these states, control of the governorship and legislature is split between parties. These states are Alaska, Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Currently, 39 of the 50 states have a trifecta and a triplex of the same party. Of these 39, 23 are Republican, and 16 are Democratic.
[YSK] You will learn much faster if you engage more of your brain at once
If you’re assigned something to read, read it aloud to yourself. This engages not just your brain, but speaking and hearing, and your brain makes stronger pathways when more senses are engaged. Don’t buy flash cards, draw them yourself. This engages sight and abstraction., plus motor skill areas. Write your own notes, then read them aloud and highlight them yourself. So many parts of your brain make connections by doing this. Don’t just read. That’s not very helpful, you don’t have to study long if you study well, I think there’s a name for this, but I’m tired and will rely on Cunningham’s whatever.
YSK that the English Wikipedia celebrates April Fools' by making bogus article deletion discussions
There are other ways it celebrates [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:April_Fools/April_Fools%27_Day_2026] like the main page [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page] (which you should check out), but I think you’re less likely to know about the deletion discussions [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/April_Fools%27_Day_2026]. NOTE: This is separate from formally nominating an article for deletion. If you wish to participate, do not actually follow the article nomination procedure. — Why YSK: Wikipedia often presents as self-serious, but in reality, the only thing keeping the project from turning into a giant shitpost is collective self-discipline. You might find it funny to see how Wikipedians really act and maybe get involved even if you don’t normally work on the project.
YSK - Corals die when they get stressed
YSK Lemmy.zip hosts "The Button" today!
YSK that you probably don't want to use "ran" (or other verbs with a)
YSK that Tracy Twyman was murdered by religious pedophiles in and from Washington State while she was investigating said unspeakable crimes against humanity.
YSK - many “crisis pregnancy centers” in the US are religious organizations pretending to provide healthcare
One about killed a woman by not identifying her pregnancy is ectopic. [https://www.dallasnews.com/business/health-care/2026/03/27/a-crisis-pregnancy-center-told-a-texas-woman-that-her-pregnancy-was-normal-it-wasnt/] Many anti abortion folks are convinced that even ectopic pregnancies can be viable. These places promise things like free pregnancy tests and medical advice to get people in the door. They really just exist to pressure women into not getting abortions. They will lie through their teeth - all the classics, like suggesting that an abortion makes it impossible to get pregnant again, or that abortion causes cancer - they’ll say anything to prevent an abortion. They are pretty much completely unregulated, and present themselves as secular non profits.
YSK that humans will fly around the moon for the first time in a long time very soon
I think after Artemis 3 they are supposed to have regular annual trips or something happening to the moon. Their window opens on April first but it could be later if they have issues. Here are some NASA livestream links https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_UjBMIzNo [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf_UjBMIzNo] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NaJklsJonD4 [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NaJklsJonD4]
YSK that uBlock Origin has non-default filters to block cookie consent notices
If you go to uBlock Origin’s settings and then select ‘Filter lists’, there’s a list maintained by EasyList and another by AdGuard that both block cookie notices. To my understanding, this isn’t enabled by default (at least it wasn’t when I installed uBO). Apologies if this is common knowledge; I didn’t know about it until recently. — Why YSK: Cookie consent pop-ups are annoyances full of dark patterns [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern] designed to frustrate you into affirmatively opting into superfluous data collection and letting companies profit off your information. Saving just a few seconds on pages you click adds up, and this is especially true if you use something like Cookie AutoDelete [https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete] that makes your answers to these pop-ups transient.
