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.

Isnt deep fried mars bars a thing somewhere i think?
I'm pretty sure they're mandatory in Scotland.
Mars bars aren't generally available in the US.
They are, they're just called milky ways
It's a milky way with a soft caramel layer, also the nougat is a bit different. Honestly they're better battered and deep fried, it's like it's wrapped in a pancake and melted. Maybe a corndog batter is similar - it looks similar - but I've never had one. Anyway you should never eat one because it's not food, it's poison with calories.
The milky ways in America have a soft caramel layer? I say this as a Scot living in America whose constantly trying to remember which way round Milky Way/Mars bars & Three Musketeers go.
No idea, I'm just describing a UK Mars bar. Don't know what Three Musketeers is.
Oh yeah, forgot about that! Changed "Midwest fairs" to "Scotland" 😁
Only specialty places, and that makes me sad... Mars, Maltesers, and Flake bars are my favorite things I never get to have due to availability. In the end I think it's a good thing I can only have these like once a year if I am lucky.
Well if they eat enough of the fried mars bars, you can then roll them into the sauna and you have slow cooking pig
In my state fair you can purchase deep fried butter.
How do you deep fry butter… i mean you drop it in the frying oil and poof? Or is it coated in teflon or something?
Freeze it and batter it, it's surprisingly easy.
Coated in batter, and most likely chilled also. Like eating a pancake with a butter center.
Oof… poor arteries
