Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Doesn’t this violate the Geneva convention ?
How so?
It's a joke. The implication is that the repeated playing of Baby Shark could be considered torture, other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment and punishment.
Homeless people aren't POWs though, doesn't it only apply to POWs?
yeah it's completely legal to torture people so long as you don't call them your prisoners
Dude, I'm not saying this is a cool and good thing to do lol, fuck them for doing this, for real. It's that the Geneva convention has to do with stuff relating to war and a lot of the things people say violate it often don't. Like people will say that tear gas is a Geneva convention violation but it actually says tear gas is allowable for controlling prison riots.
I just wish people would point to actually relevant documents when criticizing people for their misdeeds if they're bringing up documents. The truth is we shouldn't need some document to criticize this action. It's inherently disgusting. It distracts from the point when people bring up irrelevant things like the Geneva convention.
