How to remove part of the strings from a list that contains "\n"?

Question

I have a list of strings, and I want to remove all texts after the "\n" in that list each row (including "\n"). How can I do that?

I tried to use the partition function, but it doesn't work with the list...

my_list =["Today is a good day.\nLet's go outside","I have a cat to feed.\nI need go home now."]

Expected result:

my_list =['Today is a good day.','I have a cat to feed.']

Thanks for all the help

"I have a list of strings" please do not do this. I wish there was a readily available post I could link to explaining to you just how futile and self-defeating this is. — cs95, Jun 25 '19 at 18:13

With the list you gave:

my_list = ['Today is a good day.\nLet\'s go outside', 'I have a cat to feed.\nI need go home now.']
my_list = [item.split('\n')[0] for item in list]
# -> ['Today is a good day.', 'I have a cat to feed.']
