Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah, I prefer to pretend there are only 1.9 seasons, not even the last episode counts.
Shit got weird.
And that's in a show with a talking dolphin, ghosts, smoke Hologram AI, and glowing poop.
Ahaha… lol. Yeah. I think you forgot about the pirate chimp,
Was that the episode with the guy who claimed all the planets orbited in perfect circles and it was simply an error in measurement that made us think otherwise? He wanted Darwin because he wanted to know where the center of the universe was or something.

IIRC, they were looking for a terrorist or something, and the chimp was with a pirate/blackmarketeer type guy that they needed intel from. the guy requested payment in banannas or something.
Oh yeah I remember that part now. He wanted a certain amount of money and bananas. Put the monkey on the zoom call
Well, if I listed off all the wacky shit they did, I'd end up just summarizing the entire show!
I know what series I'm binging until I go back to work...
fair enough, lol.
I just remembered when they had that guy with a golden helmet (you wouldn't think gold would not make a good armor) that had the secret location of Atlantis. Also he didn't know until the last minute of the show so he was just done dude with a weird ass helmet claiming to be scion of the Atlantisns. Also he has some strange outfit on.
I almost want a deep dive into that guy. Imagine since birth your dad was always showing you this weird helmet telling you that your life mission was to find your long lost homeland. Like you apply for food stamps and list "questing for homeland" as your profession. You go on a date and show up dressed as the supposed royality of the Atlantians.
Her: So what do you do for work?
Him: Quest for my underseas homeland.
Her: Hobbies?
Him: Stamp collecting but you know also knitting my outfits.
What if one of the scions are gay or infertile or just doesn't want kids? Does he stream every single ancient aliens episode just in hopes they mention Atlantis? Does he sovereign citizen stuff claiming to have diplomatic immunity and use his crudely made passport to get around?
So so many questions.
Remember the time travel show where humanity was going to die out because people were playing 90s video games instead of fucking? And they couldn't go home without fixing it because if humans don't have a future they don't have a past. The Wesley Crusher computer kid figured that out, I am so glad they teach temporal mechanics when you get a computer certificate.
I also liked the episode when Wesley Crusher fixes the most complicated engineering project in history while mocking the head of project by suggesting that they just hit the computer screen.
