gollark: That query there would look up the `post` with `id` 2181924 and pull the row from `thread` with `id` corresponding to the `thread` (which contains the thread ID, presumably) of the `post`.

gollark: Yes, that's part of a `JOIN`.
gollark: You might use the `.` thing in a JOIN, for example `SELECT post.content, thread.title FROM post WHERE post.id = 2181924 JOIN thread ON thread.id = post.thread`.
gollark: `JOIN` says "look at this other table for corresponding rows which have some value matching a condition".
